I totally agree with CooperAlex. (Hi CooperAlex! You were my first friend on here!)...This exam is loaded with common sense. Let me try to ease your mind and make up the tone of a typical A&I L question :
Read the following passage to answer the next x questions:
Fee, fye, foe, fum,
I smell the blood of an Englishmon
1. Is the tone of this passage:
a. Happy
b. Sad
c. Threatening
d. Funny
Well, let's see...there's the world "blood" and someone is "smelling" it...that doesn't sound too happy. And let's see, "fee fye, foe, fum", That sounds almost jolly, so I wouldn't say this is sad. So sad is out...next-If some said they smelled my "English" "blood", it does sound like they might come after me! YIKES, that's similar to threatening! So threatening is looking like a good answer to choose! And the last answer...funny? Hmmm, it could be....but CLEPs sometime have 2 similar answers to make you think...and Funny might be the answer, but when I say this out loud, it sounds a bit scary and intimating, especially that bit about the blood!...so yeah, I think that threatening would be a good answer.

I just made this question and answer up. Now you don't even have to know that this is from the children's tale "Jack and the Beanstalk", or know that the person saying, "Fi, Fye, foe, Fum" is a giant, and heck, you don't even have to speak or be able to translate Giant, to hear the tone of that passage. This is what A&I L is all about. Don't over complicate it. It's 6 credits, go for it. If you want to try another 6 credit exam, and put in loads of time studying, you can always take American Lit (harder for sure) for 6 credits or Brit Lit (even harder still). Education Portal has awesome videos. They take a while, but I would say more than 50% of my A&I L exam had stuff from Education Portal on it. I am not sure what you are applying these 6 credits from A&IL to, but if it's Gen Ed or Humanities for TESC classes, you have options. If you haven't taken Humanities CLEP that's pretty easy too (easier than American Lit or Brit Lit) and also heavy on the credits. So you have nothing to lose by going for it with A&IL. I mean there are about 100 people in the last year saying this is one of the easiest CLEPs they ever took, so that and your Prep using the Offical Guide should be good enough to pass
Best of Luck! And trust CooperAlex! He knows this stuff up and down ;D
