CLEP Analyzing & Interpreting Literature (Rea) - The Best Test Prep for the CLEP

Ok, I took this CLEP test today. I used this book and read the material then took the first of the three practice tests. I then went through the answers to the 1st practice test and followed it up by taking the practice test in the CLEP official study guide 17th edition. I spent 3 to 4 hours in the material total and scored a 68. The practice test from this book was harder then the real test, however I was down to 1 minute and 30 seconds left for test time, so watch your clock on the real test. This test can be accomplished, I believe, with just this book. To speed up your study time, skim the reading in this book for just the bold faced terms and then spend your time in the practice tests and be sure to review your answers. This book will not give you the question or the answers to the real test, but you'll know what to expect and if you have good test taking skills you should do well. Good luck.

This was the only book I used to pass this CLEP exam. My book with the CD arrived this Monday and I took the test yesterday (Thursday) and scored a 62. I only needed a 50 to pass. The CD is what is invaluable. Just do the simulated practice tests over and over and review the explinations and you should be fine. I brushed up on the poetry section from the book (the only time I really used it) because that was an area I needed to work on. Excellent book. Only one you will need.

I used REA's Best Test Preparation for the CLEP Analyzing and Interpreting Literature as my only study guide for the A & I Lit CLEP. The text itself outlines what to expect on the actual test, offers reviews on the literature one can expect to encounter on the CLEP, and has 3 practice tests with detailed explanations of the answers. This was helpful by itself, but the true value of the book came in the CD-ROM with the two timed practice tests you can take in the form of the actual CLEP. I read through the book once but used the CD-ROM almost exclusively. Getting used to the vocabulary and answering in a one-question-a-minute format helped me pass with a score of 68,(50 is passing). I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who needs an extra 6 college credits.

I had just decided to finish my degree and was dreading taking 2 literature classes that I needed so instead I thought I'd try the CLEP. I have no background in literature and I haven't attended a class in nearly 10 years. I used only this book, I read the review, did all of the practice tests and then reviewed the detailed explanations for all of my wrong answers, I'd say I spent about 40 hours total studying and I work full time so this was sporadic. I took the test and passed with a 72, I highly recommend this book!
