My next one I am thinking about taking is American Literature. Any thoughts? Is it super hard...? What are the questions like? Study guides? Should I not take it? I will take any help from anyone who has actually taken the test. Thanks!
I recently took this test and was very happy with my result. I read the Idiot's Guide twice over, watched Dr Clark Closser's iTunes lectures, and read Sparknotes on some of the books I was unfamiliar with, or had read a long time ago. I also listened to some classics on tape through Librevox.org (Age of Innocence, House of Mirth, The Awakening, My Antonia, Ethan Frome) There was a list of authors either in the CLEP study guide or in the forums, and that list is spot on. Make sure you know the works of the authors listed. Good luck.
