Has anyone taken the Humanities test using the Pass Your Class guide? For the most part, I have been pretty satisfied using their guides (some I have had to use more as a starting base and branch out from them, but they were still useful). Right now, all I have is my previous studies from American and English Lit and the Pass Your Class guide. All I need is a passing score, so as long as I can get that, I am set.
PROGRESS: Last semester and accepted into a PhD program!

I would hesitate before using PYC on Humanities.
Humanities is very broad; Pass Your Class books tend to look a bit wimpy. Better to use IC and one of those general testing guides (Peterson's offers one and REA two -- get the REA one with only practice tests or the Peterson's one). I think that IC provides an excellent base for this exam. At every name you do not recognize from the flash cards, take a look at Wikipedia. I found that independent study on this exam helped tremedously.
My love for classical music probably helped too...
