CLEP General Exams 17 Full-Length Practice Exams,

This review is from: CLEP General Exams w/ CD-ROM (CLEP Test Preparation) (Paperback)
I recently took the Humanities CLEP exam. I used the REA CLEP general exams manual to study, review, and practice test exams to prepare for the exam. I found less then 10 questions on the exam, (out of 140) which were even close to the questions and answers in this REA test manual.
Needless to say, I didn't pass the exam. I got close ..score 46, but needed 50. I highly recommend using the CLEP OFFICIAL test manual for your primary test preparation. I am going to call REA and advise them their test manual is not worth using for the Humanities exam. I spent $30 for this manual plus $60 for the exam and $15 for the
Testing center; $105 spent, and nothing to show for it. I hope this helps others
Thx

This review is from: CLEP General Exams w/ CD-ROM (CLEP Test Preparation) (Paperback)
THIS BOOK IS GOOD FOR GETTING A GENERAL IDEA OF HOW THE TEST IS ADMINISTERED, AND THE REVIEW QUESTIONS WERE DISCUSSED IN GOOD DETAIL, BUT WHEN I TOOK THE TEST, THERE WAS MAYBE A HANDFUL OF QUESTIONS THAT ACTUALLY PERTAINED TO TO THE REAL TEST. NOT A GOOD BOOK FOR REVIEW, BUT GOOD TO GET AN IDEA AS TO HOW HARD THE TEST IS GOING TO BE.

This review is from: CLEP General Exams w/ CD-ROM (CLEP Test Preparation) (Paperback)
This book seems to be ok but I won't know for sure until I go for the English Composition Exam. But my real beef has to do with the CD-ROM that came with the book.
The CD is designed to create for the student a feel for what the real test day will feel like. So I started working with the English Composition questions on Practice Exam 1. I studied for actually a couple of weeks before I sat down and took the first practice exam. According to the CD's score, I failed. Then I went back and started studying the questions that I failed. A few days later, after I felt that I had the failed questions studied, I took the test again and failed again. I repeated this over a period of 4 to 5 weeks. Each time I took the practice exam, I either failed or got a score that was so low that I didn't feel that I should take the real test yet. I want to walk in there and ace it so that I don't have to wait the mandatory 6 months before I'm allowed to take it again.
So after weeks...Read more
