collegeboard official guide questions

[pitbull30]

Is there a difference in the editions of the CLEP official study guide? Anyone here been able to compare? I also see alot of mixed reviews. What do you guys say? Worth it or no?

Thanks

Worth it. Don't overthink this one. Just get a cheap fairly recent edition and don't look back. I don't understand the sentiment that some versions are somehow sub-standard. It's a book of sample tests. It's worth it.

I second that. My book was current when I started- and ended up a "year old" when I finished- so technically there were probably some changes. Still very very helpful in my opinion

If you're planning to take Financial Accounting, it's only in the latest edition. Other than that, you're probably okay with an earlier edition.

Great thanks.

Yeah I was wondering what the changes were and if anyone found the newer versions to be better. Yet one review I read said they compared 2 editions (17& 18 i think ) and he said they were almost identical except for a few small things so he returned the newer one.

I might just buy the newest one just in case I need Financial Accounting.

If you already own the old one you can download financial accounting from the collegeboard site for 10 bucks.
