hey everyone, i am taking my first CLEP on Monday and i fear that i have not grasped this material well enough to pass the exam. I just feel like the study guides throw soo much information out on all these philosophers and philosophies that i cant organize it all to remember. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips that helped them out in this exam? Anything would be very greatly appreciated!

I find that writing outlines with the major points as headings and short descriptions underneath help me to organize information and committ it to memory. It's especially useful for things I have little interest in but need to remember for an exam. Good luck!

I mistakenly posted this to the military forum instead of the general forum.
These links should help you focus on the philosophers and topics in the official study guide. Comments from people who took the test were also used to make the list of links. You don't need to read all of each Wikipedia page (although it wouldn't take excessiely long). Read the first few paragraphs and skim over the rest of each page.
