Yes it is worth 6 credits, and no there are not flashcards for it. According to everything I have read here about the test the best thing to prep with is the Peterson's exams. I am going to take the Petersons's this weekend and if I am doing 60 or better I will take it next week.

REA's book is also a good way to prep for the test.

I think I will see about REA, I havent been able to get anything from Petersons because it asks what brancxh of the military I am in. I guess I must be doing something wrong.

There are a lot of "Free Peterson's" links floating around on IC. The one that currently works is this one:
http://www.degreeforum.net/general-educa...ement.html
If you go to the site and sign up, it should work. But REA is great too - I thought it was excellent for A&I Lit.

I cant seem to get Petersons to work either, it also keeps asking me what military branch I am in, I tried the above link but it took me to another forum on here.

Oh...you should have looked a little closer at that forum.
That thread had a link near the top for free Peterson's tests...it's the Inspire Information link I embedded in my previous post.

I took this test today, and passed it with a 66. This was my first CLEP, so I really can't compare it to anything, but it seemed straight forward enough. I am a good test taker and generally I can breeze through a multiple choice test with plenty of time to spare. With this test though, I only had 15 minutes left so just watch your time and brush up on your literary terms beforehand. Other than that, this was a great way to get 6 credits.

Good work...but I think this needs to be moved to the specific exam feedback
