CLEP Official Study Guide 2010

i was looking for sample tests to guide my studies and determine which clep tests i was the most qualified to take. this book is great for people who just need to know what the tests are like so they can determine their likelihood of passing.
this is not a study guide.
within 2 weeks of buying this book, i took 2 different clep tests and passed with 6 college credits each. i'm an older student, so i had about 20 years of self-education under my belt. it feels pretty cool to get a semester's worth of college credit this way. (the tests were about an hour and a half each and cost about $85.00 each)
i recommend this book for older students who have already learned a lot and don't need to sit through a college class on everything.

I found this book to be simplistic and not at all what I anticipated. I was hoping for some study materials, but this book is just a bunch of sample tests; one sample test per subject. It's nice to give yourself an idea of where you're at and what you need to study, but it doesn't give you those study tools, which is what's really important. [...]
I'll use the book because I already purchased it, so I might as well take the sample tests, but if I knew how little information was in it, I never would have purchased the book in the first place.

I expected this book to cover a lot more per test based on the fact that buying the individual study guides are $10 a piece. Instead it's just one test per subject and it doesn't even offer to explain why the answers are correct. I will definitely be looking elsewhere to find a more comprehensive study guide.
