American Government Clep Study materials?!
#8
Having been a member of instantcert for a few months now and owing ALL of my success on one of the hardest CLEPs to this forum, I feel it is necessary to share my strategies with the newbies. First of all, I was scared to death to take the AG CLEP. Everywhere I turned people were telling about how hard it was. Although I used a million different sources, the ones that benefitted me the most were the AP Government and Politics book, a list of the major terms and court cases that I found here, Standard Deviants video on American Gov't, and a course I found on iTunes (PLS 101 with Dr. Scott from Missouri) that was free and VERY helpful in creating a big picture. If you have time, watch the videos and take notes. If you are pressed for time, read the AP book all the way through and if you understand it you're good to go. EVERYTHING on the test is in that book. It is not as hard as people say if you understand the major concepts.
Make sure you know:
-Supreme court cases (not all of them - maybe like the 10 most important. They're posted here somewhere in italics, you just have to find them)
-All of the amendments, with emphasis on the Bill of Rights (it does not go into much depth about them. Just know them and you should be fine)
-Powers of the Pres, House of Reps, Senate, Governor, Supreme Court

Basically, It's too much for me to write (sorry). So, I'm attaching what I used to study. It's fairly lengthy but it should cut down your research time in half. I've gathered all of the comments posted here into one document and added other stuff I found online too. Also, the info I mentioned above that were in italics are in this document. What the heck - I have the Peterson's and CLEP practice tests too (although they're too big to upload here). They helped TREMENDOUSLY. Good luck. Any more questions or comments I'd be happy to answer at Qtpie2evil@yahoo.com
