Is it possible to successfully study for a CLEP exam in 3/4 days?

The answer is yes.... and no. You said history. I studied for American History 1 and 2 for probably 3 days each and passed both, but I have a deep background in other history courses, I just didn't do American 1 or 2. American Governement is a tough one. I was going to shoot for 5 days of study, and ended up switching the exam to a different exam (Social Science and History) only 2 days before I went to take it and did fine on it. I was not going to pass American Government though. Humanities would be tough, for almost anyone. If you read through the forums on here, many people with a deep background of humanities make the mistake of being underprepared for that one. I don't want to scare you off of it, but I would not try it in only 3 or 4 days. US history 1 or 2, if you are a history buff or just find it interesting, go for it. FYI if you feel ready for US History 1 and 2 take them and within 2 weeks, no later that than take Social Sciences and History. It gives you 6 hours of credit and my version felt like 85% US history.
