I did read Western Civilization, A Brief History, by Jackson J. Spielvogel, but this book is the one that helped me to pass this exam. I read the outline and detailed explanation of the answers in this book and repeated the practice tests until I was able to answer 110 out of 120 questions correctly. This book included information that relates to most of the actual CLEP exam questions, and I felt quite confident during the exam. I scored 68 and was very happy with my result.

I studied for three days using this book and the western civilization section of the official study guide. In this book there were pictures of art and architecture in the exam section that you had to indentify, in the actual clep there were only two that I can remember. Also in the exam section of this book lots of maps to indentify, don't get worried because on the actual clep, picture of the maps were so much better and there were only about three questions. I think if you've taken world history and or art history classes, you would fair well on this exam. I did pass with a score of 65.

What made this possible was the thorough and yet concise information found in this book, coupled with its straightforward approach.

The Western Civ I CLEP covers the period from the dawn of civilization (roughly 3,000 BCE) to the year 1648 -- nearly 4,700 years. By contrast, Western Civ II picks up in 1648 and goes to the present -- a mere 360 years.

To compress that much history into 352 pages (which includes two full-length practice exams and discussions of correct answers) is quite an accomplishment. To do so with clarity, and while preserving the contexts and transitions that are vital to the...Read more
