Review for the CLEP General English Composition Examination

Excellent companion material to the official CLEP guide. Dteailed explainations to practice problems - written in "mini" text book format covering the subject matter and not only test questions.

I reviewed the material included for approximately one week and passed the test with a score of 66. I found the actual examination to be more difficult than the practice exams. I was able to complete the practice exams in a fraction of the time allotted, but almost ran out of time when taking the actual CLEP.

I haven't attended college in 12 years; I purchased this book and studied it for approximately 2 weeks, took the Freshman English Comp exam without the essay and passed with a 68. I would highly reccommend this book for the CLEP but you do need to review the material and utilize the practice exams. Good Luck!

This book is a great refresher for English Comp. I passed the test with a 500 using this book and the Cracking Clep book. The practice exams in the book helped a lot! The exams in the Cracking Clep book are great also, and there are also helpful tips to help you pass, especially on the essay section.

I LOVE this book! I totally failed AP English in high school, and I never went back to studying English after that(I hated English after AP English Lit!) until this CLEP exam came up. I also suggest you also buy Diana Hacker's english reference since it has a good review, as well as REA's general practice test books. But this book alone was my CLEP English bible- there's a brief review which is enough for someone who knows English well, but if you're like me, I'd also get another good grammar book.
