Can someone pls. advice how to pass Humanities. Is it possible to study for it in 2 days. Are the questions posted here enough to answer questions in the actual CLEP exam and will they ensure a passing score. Thanks.

It probably depends on how much you already know about the subject. I had never studied it much so it took me about a month to prepare (it was my first test though so it probably would take me less time now) My younger sister was ready to take it without much studying at all because she has always loved studying in that area...hope that was a little bit helpful! Good luck!

Take the tests on this site: US Air Force - Education and Library Resource Center - Test Prep If you get a 50% or above on all three-- take the test. If you don't -- try using Wikipedia/Instantcert/other resources to study. You can do it! (Humanities was a really fun test.... I hardly studied for it .. but.. we all have our areas of interest.)

Crammed for this exam in a whole night so two days is possible. It all depends on what you already know and if you think you are ready. Good Luck!

and then felt silly afterward when I realized I could have passed probably without studying at all. (And since Excelsior doesn't give letter grades for CLEPs, my 78 was no better than a 50 would have been.) If you know your culture, try some practice tests. If you score above 50% on the CLEP official practice test, you're probably ready. I also used the REA practice tests, which are much harder than the real thing. If you get 30-40% on those, you're probably ready. (The REA book is right on the money as far as the material.)
