What is the best way to prepare for this test if I need to blow it out of the water?
My school requires a 70 for credit, so the fact that this is a relatively easy, straightforward test doesn't really help because they apparently realize that and have set the bar ridiculously high.
If you're a strong literature & poetry reader (or just good with critical reading), then you may just need to bone up on your literary device terms and you should be good to go. There a few good links earlier in the thread that take you to sites with well organized lit term definitions. You might want to take one of the peterson's practice tests to see how you score to be safe. If you can get over a 60, you'll probably pass the test (it is supposedly a tad bit easier than the actual CLEP test) but I'd probably want to shoot for the upper 70s to be safe, especially if you have to hit 70+ on the actual test.
If you need more than that, there is no IC flashcard set, but the REA "CLEP Analyzing & Interpreting Literature" book is the most highly recommended, and it also comes with 3 tests which can help you figure out how close you are to being ready. I also found some helpful sites by googling "interpreting poetry" and "interpreting literature" as well.
Good luck!

It can be easy if you're recently out of high school literature, or otherwise good with reading and understanding poetry and classical literature (and know your literary devices fairly well.) The further away from that you are the harder it gets, and it is just as easy to fail as any other CLEP if not taken seriously.
