So far, I was having a hard time interpreting the literature I was reading. You def. SHOULD study just in case. Good luck. As far as material goes, you seem to have a good grasp. Let me know how you do!

This is my next exam (January). Where did you see that the test will be changing next year? What changes are expected?
I checked this page at College Board, but did not see anything mentioned about changes:
CLEP: Analyzing and Interpreting Literature
Thanks for the help!
I compared the information on the College Board website to the list in the Official CLEP Study Guide which I bought in 2008, and they are the same. I believe that each person takes a different exam, but I do not believe there will be a major change in the exam next year unless they say so, which they have not. If you have additional information about this, I would like to know.
Regarding whether this is an "easy" exam, that is a very individual experience. I would much rather be doing math problems than taking this exam. If you are already good at reading comprehension exams, then there is very little to study (except literary terms) and that makes it easy, but the exam may still be difficult to take. If you need practice with reading comprehension, then there is more to study, and books like REA with tips and practice tests can help. There are Petersons practice tests, too.
My best wishes to you on this exam! I'll let you know how mine goes.
