For reference, these notes and spreadsheet are just some of the information contained in the Specific Feedback thread for Humanities and the Instantcert questions and answers cut down and put in a spreadsheet.

Anyone with access to the former will have access to more information.

Hi everyone!

For the sake of paying forward, I am writing this to share my experience with my exam this afternoon; the same way the others did which really helped me a lot!

Background: I'm a nurse, taking my BSN online. I am currently registered for 2 classes, working full-time and have 2 boys (1 yo & almost 3 yo). In short, I have no time to study for CLEP! But I need it badly if I want to earn my degree next semester to exempt me from 2 classes:Fine Arts and Humanities. So I registered with IC last December but I have taken only 2 sample exams in Humanities, Fiction and Non-Fiction Literature since then. I do not have anymore chance to study because I am currently taking classes that are also reading and writing intensive.

But I have a deadliest deadline: Take the exam today (Feb 24) or forfeit my registration for the last credit I need. So, I studied sample exams from 3 clep book (I only get a chance to go through 1 sample test in REA), then went through the blogs/messages in the discussion forum this morning especially some post-test clues from previous test-takers. They were right on!

Thanks ponygirl for being generous. I wish I know a way to attach your reviewer here to help more people.
