This CLEP guide hasn't been used very many times to pass the CLEP it didn't even come out until December 5, 2005. This REA review and study guide is far and away the only accurate and in depth review of this CLEP test but don't be fooled into thinking that this CLEP test is easy. It's not. In order to pass the Western Civ I CLEP you will need to take both sample tests over the period of at least month until you have memorized every single question and answer. Then on any question that you're not absolutely sure about you will need to read the detailed explanation of that question over and over until you have memorized it. You will need to read the history lesson in the front of the book until you have a good understanding of it. You can do all of this and it still may not be enough. Some of the questions on the actual test ask you what exactly did a certain humanist or philosopher write and what did it mean. To prepare for these examination questions you will need to read up on your...Read more

Thats right, I passed the test. In order to do this I read the entire REA book in two days. After I finished reading, I took the tests included on the CD-Rom. I reviewed all of the questions that I missed and also read all of the explanations of the answers. Then I read 14 chapters of our college text book in two days. The REA book helped me to prepare and pass the CLEP test in 4 days. Our school requires a 57 and that is the exact score that I received! Talk about luck, it is a difficult test.

Such a relief. The test was long, 120 questions 90 mins, I wasn't sure whether I was going to pass or not, I felt that I would get unlucky and make a 47 or something. But my 66 saved me. I used this book as a primary resource and 2 old college texts from my college library. I needed the other two books to look up for stuff that I couldn't picture or understand. I realized that I needed to write a review as a contribution. Before the test I read stuff about people saying that they used this book as their only resource and it was hard to believe but now I have no doubts about that. I studied for 2 crazy weeks. It is important to get the chronology right from the beginning, as trying to do so later is difficult. I'm a math/science person but I did well. So I guess this book helps. If I didn't pass today I wouldn't have graduated. So it is a good idea to start asap bcos of the 6mths thing. Good Luck.
