Takiing Humanities Test end of January NEED HELP - girlhiker35 - 01-19-2015
Hello,
Taking humanities test at the end of January. I'm very worried I'm not going to pass. I have been using the flash cards and refreshing my knowledge on subject but it doesn't seem to be helping. I'm also worried about the test being "refreshed". Has anyone taken it in the last month and do you have any suggestions?
Thanks

I took the test Friday and passed! I used the flash cards in conjunction with the CLEP book. The book has practice exams, I founf them really helpful. Good luck!

It has been nine years since I took the CLEP Humanities test - my very first foray into the online degree journey. It is a very broad overview of art, music, drama, literature, and the history and influences behind them. I remember one question they asked me was: "Who wrote this opening phrase to a bestseller: 'It is a point generally considered, that a single man in possession of a large fortune must be in want of a wife.'" The answer, of course, is Jane Austen. Most of the test was easy because it had questions like this, and tested on stuff I had absorbed over the years.
Another one asked "What are the three components that make up sonata form?" Back then I knew the answer, because I remember watching Leonard Bernstein's Young People's Concerts when I was a kid, and one of the segments was on "What is Sonata Form?"
Point being, if you have been exposed to literature, art, and music in your daily life, then you might only need a refresher. I would still study, because they will ask questions about things like the difference between Doric columns and Corinthian columns.
