I'm currently studying for the Humanities CLEP and I'm having a tough time memorizing names. If I see the name in a list (i.e. multiple choice), I can recall the answer. However, I find fill in the blank much more difficult.
Also, I can recall the name of a writer/poet/playwright after seeing the titles of his or her work. However, I can't recall what novels, plays, or poems they have written just by seeing their name. Would I be better off studying the IC flashcards in the format in which they are written, or should I work backwards?
I've already taken and passed English Comp w/ Essay, Social Science & History, and Natural Science, but I'm finding this test to be the most difficult to study for. Plus, the subject matter is extremely boring, at least for me.
