Humanities clep exam

[bkbarden]

I have bought both of REA study guides "the best test preparation for the CLEP".

I also bought this book when studying for Humanities and did not find it at all helpful. It covered so much information, it was overwhelming.

I have been studying the REA guides and doing the practice tests, but still feel very unfaimilar with the information. Just wondering if there were any "newbies" like me, who are prepping for this test and can provide some guidance. Those of you who have taken and passed this test, how familiar were you with the information prior to studying?

I gave up REA after a couple weeks and only used InstantCert after that. IC was much more specific to the exam and a lot easier to understand. As I went through the flashcards, I put each term/author/work/etc into an Excel Spreadsheet along with an explanation. I actually think I still have that if you would want it...

Reading about how little time some of you spent studying is making me feel like a dunce, but trying to maintain some optimism.

Don't feel that way! I am sure you can do it! Humanities did take me more time than most of the other tests I have taken. It's a lot of information and a lot of work. But I was thoroughly prepared by using InstantCert and then taking the REA practice tests. (But NOT studying the REA book). Don't be discouraged! You can do it. Good luck and God bless.
