Does A&I Lit cancel out American Lit?

[brooklynquinones]

Hey everyone I have a quick question, I will be enrolling at TESC soon, well I passed the A&I Lit Clep a few weeks ago and am already prepared fully to take the American Lit in a few days, but I read somewhere here on the forum that if you passed the A&I Lit Clep, then it will cancel out the American Lit? Is this true? Please tell me no lol. Thanks in advance for the feedback.

No, A&I Lit and American Lit are two separate exams.

Woooo!! Thank you so much, the anticipation was killing me lol, wish me luck everyone!! =). I just hope I am fully ready because I've taken 3 Peterson's test on American Lit. and have scored 57, 57, and 59, so hopefully the real test translates to that. Man this site is great.

Hi-

At my college (Capella), they did not cancel each other out- they both counted...

I just wanted to update everyone. I had the American Literature CLEP scheduled for this past Friday and was actually thinking about rescheduling it, but I said to myself "I WILL pass." So I went and took the test and wow I passed with a score of 50!!!! Definitely was a difficult test, at least for me it was, and I studied hard for about 2 1/2 weeks, using some study notes I found in the specific exam section on here and skimmed through The Complete Idiot's Guide To American Lit - Wish I had read this book more actually, but nevertheless a pass is a pass.

Brooklyn, Congrats! I have to say that I've gotten one 50 score in a clep (Info systems) and that has been my most gratifying pass. I keep that on top on all my other score.

Did you have any previous exposure to the subject?

Again congrats, I have to take this one as well and am certainly not lookingforward to it.

Honestly, I did not have any previous exposure to this subject, but I didn't let that stop me, I mean you have to start somewhere? You definitely can do it, I mean I scored a 50, but I definitely thought I failed. It was to the point where I was just clicking the "Proceed" tab on the screen like crazy to see how horrible of a score I had, but then when I seen 50 I was like wow, no way!!!! I would definitely go by everyone else's advice and read the complete idiots guide to american lit. I skimmed most of it and really wished I had been more focused and read it, because I did catch myself saying a few times "Wow I remember seeing this in the idiots guide book." I can definitely say what probably helped me pass the test were the A&I Lit questions on the test as that's probably one my stronger areas. Without those "gimme" questions, I definitely would've failed without a doubt. Good luck though if you decide to take it, I'll pull for you.
