3.0 out of 5 stars Won't help you pass.., January 17, 2007

This review is from: CLEP Western Civilization II w/CD-ROM 1648 to the Present (CLEP Test Preparation) (Paperback)
I studied and studied for the Western Civ II test with this book and was correctly getting well over 100 right on the practice exams. I went to take the test today and only scored a 48. There were many topics on the test that this book didn't cover or even mention. This book alone will not help you pass this exam..

This review is from: CLEP Western Civilization II w/CD-ROM 1648 to the Present (CLEP Test Preparation) (Paperback)
The Western Civilization II CLEP test is rarely taken and this is to my knowledge the only comprehensive study guide for it other than the recently released and unproven review by National Learning Corporation which lacks a CBT sample test for your home computer. This REA CLEP guide didn't hit the bookstores and Amazon until December 31, 2005. Before then if you took this CLEP test you had no idea what kind of material you where getting into or what exactly you were supposed to study in order to pass. Don't be fooled into thinking that this CLEP test is easy which its not. The actual test will be 119-122 questions and you will neeed a good understanding on everything from Louis XIV and the French Revolution to Gorbachev and his exact contributions to the Soviet system of government. You will also need to know what the political map of Europe looked like in each period from 1648 to the present. Yes you can pass this CLEP test but if you've have never taken a CLEP test before you might...Read more

This review is from: CLEP Western Civilization II w/CD-ROM 1648 to the Present (CLEP Test Preparation) (Paperback)
I passed the clep Western Civilization II, not too long ago.

I used this book, but as i was taking the test i realized that most of the information was much harder than the one on the practice exam...

I was able to pass the test, because i knew some information that did not figure in the book.

Also the cd has the same 2 tests that are in the book also, so i would recommend buying the one with the CD to people who are not familiar with the Celp format.

If i were you, i would use this book, for review ONLY!! Use a college western civilization textbook also.....

Good luck!!!
