5.0 out of 5 stars This is the study guide you need, April 17, 2007

This review is from: The CLEP History of the United States I w/CD (REA) - The Best Test Prep for the CLEP (Test Preps) (Paperback)
I used just this book to prep for the exam, I read the material once, took the first practice test, then re-read the material and took the second and third tests. I then reviewed the answers and took the test. This was my first ever CLEP test. Be your own judge however when studying, if you are a good test taker then this book should do it all for you, if not then supplement with other material. The book does a great job of covering the material. I scored a 72 on the test. Hope that helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great reference for base knowledge of US History I, July 13, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The CLEP History of the United States I w/CD (REA) - The Best Test Prep for the CLEP (Test Preps) (Paperback)
This book was key in my passing of the CLEP US History I exam. I read it from cover to cover and did the practice tests repeatedly until I got the answers correct.

The only shortfall of the book is that it doesn't cover the "antebellum" period to the level that matches the exam.

I suggest supplementing this book with instantcert.com flashcards and I also used sparknotes US History flashcards and timeline. In the end I found an old high school history textbook and used it to cement all the facts I had learned. Pay key attention to the order things happened and who intitiated certain acts and movements.

Overall, this book is a must-have for prepping. I passed with a 69.

This review is from: The CLEP History of the United States I w/CD (REA) - The Best Test Prep for the CLEP (Test Preps) (Paperback)
For my RN-MSN program I needed to take 2 history courses ASAP. I had no desire to waste time sitting in a class room so I decided to try the CLEP exams. I took the US History exam yesterday. To be able to look at each test question and think " My gosh I know this" is a great feeling.
This book was the basis of my preparation; used in conjunction with Barons EZ 101 American History to 1877 and America A Narrative History. The REA CLEP book covered some topics in more depth than others but when used with the other references , I was more than prepared. The best part of this book is the practice exams and the answer explanations. Some of the practice questions were on my actual CLEP exam word for word others were rephrased but still strongly resembled the practice questions . This book is worth every penny and I have already purchased the REA CLEP book for the Western Civilization test that I will take in 4 weeks. When time is of the essence, you will find this book...Read more
