i JUST literally came home from taking the Humanities test and passed!! WOOT
although i found that most the questions they asked on the notecards, they did NOT ask on the test!!!
study alot of music questions, they asked me SOO many questions on music i had to guess on and was not prepared for!!
i passed because i knew the artwork really well and could name the artists

Have you been using the Humanities Flashcards? They were fairly helpful to me, although I took it around 2 years ago.
My preferred method of study is finding old college textbooks at Goodwill and reading them cover to cover Big Grin
I learn soooo much better with a book like that than a study guide (no idea why, maybe it's just me!)
Maybe something like that would work for you, Good luck!

I thought that the humanities flashcards were great, but I used them in conjunction with the specific forum feedback and the study guides posted on there by other members.

I felt like this was such a broad test that I was glad I put in 2+ weeks of study time. It's not difficult, but don't take it lightly. It's broad, not deep, so IC + specific forum feedback + wikipedia was all I used and I scored a 67. Definitely doable and it's easier for some people who have a strong arts/lit background. I did not but found it enjoyable to study for.

I took quite a while to study for this exam, because it is so broad. It is enjoyable to study for, though. I used the REA study guide and other books on literature/art/music that I either had or borrowed from the library. I would advise taking this exam after any literature exams you plan to take. I mostly had to focus on art, music and literature outside of English literature because I had just taken the CLEP English Literature. I scored a 68. I found that the exam focused on literature (a lot), music, and art. Hardly any (if any) philosophy, architecture, film, or dance. The lack of philosophy questions was a relief to me, but I was disappointed about the others because I had studied them.

LaurieBTX,
I do the exact same thing, pick up old college textbooks at Goodwill for $1 - $5 each, then read them cover to cover! (It is hard for me to read any book and not read it from the beginning to the end - then I wonder why it takes me so long to prepare for each exam.Rolleyes) I also like study guides, though, whenever I can find them. If I find a book or study guide at the library, I go for that (cheap is good, free is betterWink ).
