CLEP Western Civilization II [With CDROM]

This book is much like the other REA guides I have used to get the 21 credits I now have; however, I noticed that the practice tests in the book were much easier than those in the CLEP Official Study Guide, as well as the actual CLEP. I highly recommend all the REA guides, but this particular one doesn't give as good a picture of one's preparedness as the others. I would aim for a raw score of 70-80 on the practice tests to consider myself adequately prepared for the CLEP.

I used this as a review after listening to WCII audio lectures from The Teaching Company during a cross-country trip. This book, with its condensed review and practice tests, helped me focus in on exactly what I needed to know to pass. If you can retain the major events, players, etc. in this book when you take the test, you'll know enough. I got a 62, which converts to an A. However, I studied two months for this exam, listening to 24-hours of audio lectures, reading my lecturer's accompanying (very lengthy) outline, and then using this book from REA.

Once again another well written book by the people at REA. I used this book and passed the CLEP. Realize there is a lot of material for this test. I studied about 5 hours the day/night before the test and passed with a 61. I could have done better with just this book and more time spent studying the material, however the point is this is a very passable test with this book. Study according to your own test taking ability before trying the test.

Great book! It was a great review book after studying the subject. I would recommend this anyone who is planning on taking the CLEP exam. It helped my daughter pass the exam.

This book was very helpful. I also watch a lot of the History Channel! Use the College Board's CLEP Official Study Guide, 17th Edition it helps. The practice tests will let you know what to brush-up on. I scored a 63.
