This is my first CLEP and I'm trying to get an appt for this coming week. I have been studying for a little over a week. I have the Cracking the Clep (scored a 92/140 after 7 days of study), the CLEP study guide, and a college Humanities textbook (started to take the class about 5 year ago but had to drop). I haven't even gone thru all of IC's questions since Princeton Review mentions there are only several questions on dance, architecture and non-fiction. I have taken a TON of notes (I learn by writing stuff down) on people and their works. I have a small background in literature from 25 years ago so I recognized authors but didn't particularly remember plotlines.
I'm probably overstudying since I don't want to blow my first CLEP and demolish my confidence. Not having taken the test yet, I can't tell you which has been the most helpful resource. My guess right now would be the textbook in conjunction with the practice tests so I can recognize what "stands out". I will give you a definitive answer after I test.
