What History CLEP is the easiest? Instead of taking the Social Sciences and History exam, I opted to take Sociology and History. I passed the Sociology, and I’m now looking to study for the History portion.

Which of the History exams would be easier for me to pass, using InstantCert?

Thanks

I've already taken and passed analyzing and interpreting literature. I'm not asking about that one...

I know that Instantcert doesn't have any literature CLEP guides, but has anyone else here taking either of these? I need another lower level literature credit (since I moved Analyzing and interpreting to my major--considered upper level credit for some reason [????]). I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for study, guides to point me to, wisdom about how easy or hard it is, etc.

And Steve, if you could create a set of flashcards for either of these, I'll bet they'd be popular. 6 credits each is pretty spiffy.

Thanks!

Has anyone taken or is preparing to take this exam? I am looking for information on what books I need if any and how others are preparing for this exam. Thanks all.

I have been following this site for a while and am now looking to take some tests. I have been going to TESC last year but will do the rest by testing out and then enroll at COSC.
The problem is that i live in Europe for the next year or so and taking a Clep or Dantes here is not easy. Basically the only place reasonable is in the UK and it cost too much. Plus they only offer testing 2 days a year!!

SO i will coming over this fall for 2 weeks and taking as many tests as i can. I will be in either NYC or Portland, OR.
Is there a limit on how many test i take at a site per day? I think i remember one have a rule about 2 a day. If i took some easy ones i was hoping to do 3+. So i was thinking about doing 2 at one site and then going to another in the afternoon and doing another there....

ALso do sites charge thier own test fees as well as the Clep and Dantes test fees....


Thanks for any info you can give....

Because so many of us are currently working on this course inorder to fulfill our upper level requirements, I will let you know what I thought , when I get back home.

I am about to take the ethics in america dsst and haven't been able to find much infor on the essay part. any pointer would be valued. this test seems kind of hard?

If you acheive a 50% or better on mock exams does that mean you are ready to take the clep exam? For example here are my scores on these mock exams:
1. Instantcert: 70-90%
2. College board sample questions- 74%
3. Petersen's- 45%, 52%
Thanks

I think it was Chris who suggested that those of us testing in this area make a timeline of the events of russian and soviet history....well go to the website "infoplease" and punch in a request for timeline: russian history..and there it all is. Makes life and study prep alittle easier.:eek:

Just took the Humanities CLEP today 3/28/06 - Passed with a 59

All I used was Instantcert as my foundation (as I do with all my preparation) and one other resource, Cracking The Clep, for that extra edge. I felt that the info in Instantcert was enough to pass this test but I was freaking out so much that I wanted to make extra sure. But after I took the mock test on the official study guide by Collegeboard and got more that half right, I knew I was going to pass and didn't study much further.

Listen, just make sure you read everything in Instantcert and you'll be ok. Believe me, I hated the subject but passed and got 6 credits!

I am definately not a star in economics. Studied very relaxed for 10 days, used only Instantcert and sample exams from Peterson. Needed 61 for an A (Excelsior). Scored 67! THANKS INSTANTCERT, this place rocks!
