CLEP Analyzing & Interpreting Literature Exam

[Daithi]

Can219,

Another option is StraighterLine. Where I live, the local testing center only offers CLEP testing on Saturdays once a month, so I've replaced several tests I'd intended to CLEP out of with StraighterLine tests instead. I'd say they only take me about a week to complete on average, and they have several humanities courses. Plus, if you are going to TESC there are several that are also worth upper level credit.

I also took the Analyzing & Interpreting Literature CLEP a couple weeks ago and think Can219 explained it pretty well. I believe I read very well, but there was one passage where I didn't have a clue what was going on. It was only after reading through all the questions that I realized the passage was about lovers dealing with old age or something.

Also, Can219 is right about having to know what the definitions of literature terms mean. They point to a section of text and ask something like, "Do lines 11 - 14 represent A) An extended metaphor B) An extended simile C) A parable D) An analogy." I did pass the test but I thought I would do a bit better than I scored.
