New Member and need help

[targetoncleps]

I need to choose between taking the Humanities or the American Government Cleps. Which is easier and what is the best way to study for the test. I joined IC today. I passed History 1 last week no thanks to the study course I used to begin. I had a 56 on it and have no clue what that translates into.

Any help would be appreciated. I am glad I found you guys,

See Clep Difficulty List for exam difficulty ratings and exam advice. Also use the search feature on this forum.

Go to the Humanities CLEP Question thread and send a private message to PonyGirl93. She has some great study notes for Humanities.

Also, check out 'Specific Exam Feedback'. Feedback has a lot of posts from people that took the particular test that you want to know about. You should find plenty of info there!!

I personally thought that American Govt was an easier test to study for, though many might disagree with me. Humanities is so broad, and Am Govt is not so much. I do like politics and watch political news, so this helps with the test, but I only studied for a week with AG... it took a few weeks with Humanities due to the quantity of potential study material.

If you just passed History 1, you might want to try the Government. There is a lot of overlap on the 2 tests. Get the REA book and try a practice exam to find out what areas you already know and what you need to study.

Good luck!

Thanks for the input.

Can I study IC only and pass the tests or do I need to study the book above. I am try to take the test and I have been studying IC for a week and since I can devote 12 hours a day for the next 6 days I hope to be prepared.
