Review for Clep* General Humanities Examination: Complete Review for the New Examination

 (7 customer reviews)

Loved the book. 1. It covers the humanities clep only, (not part of a huge, thick, all encompassing general clep series).2. Provides a summary of things/terms to know. This is what's lacking in most other study guides that only give you Q & A.3. This is the "exam cram" of the humanities test guides.

I rate this book only "average" for a CLEP preparation text. I purchased the new edition, and compared it to a 1995 edition, and found the two versions to be almost identical -- with few updates. However, I did find the CLEP Preparation for the General Exams to be much more thorough than this text, and would strongly recommend purchasing that preparation guide, rather than this edition -- if you want to pass the Humanities Exam.

I used this book to study for the General Humanities test and found most of the information was NOT on the test. Only a few questions pertained to information covered in the book.The art portion was totally useless. None of the artists or paintings/sculptures that were on the test appeared in this book. The text went over in great detail literature - specifically poetry, and I did not have any questions on the exam that pertained to this information either.
