Rating: Summary: First time cleper Review: This book is great!! I used only this book and studied it for two weeks. I passed the clep with a score of 71 you only need 50 to pass. Taking the clep is well worth the $50, it's much better than paying tution and spening hours in a class room.
Rating: Summary: Only study guide you need to pass. Review: This study guide was the only material I used to take this test. I passed with a 72 (50 is a passing score) and only studied a few days before the test. The format of this book is easy to follow, there is six chapters each dealing with the important functions of management. At the end of each chapter there is study questions dealing with that chapter from 10-16 questions. There is also a short exam that has 25 questions and one full exam of 100 questions. I highly suggest you study the Theories and who developed it, because that was the hardest thing for me to remember during the exam. Another good thing about this book is the answer sheet, not only does it provide the correct answer but it also gives and explination as to why its the correct answer and why the others are wrong. I believe that part of the study guide alone is what gave me such a good score with such little studing. It sticks to the need to know stuff, and cuts out the fluff of a text book. I highly recommend. Good luck on your CLEP.
Rating: Summary: The Only Study Guide You Need Review: to pass the Principles of Management CLEP. I read this book through once, worked all of the practice tests at the end of each chapter and went through the sample tests at the end of the book until I had a good working knowledge of the subject. I took the CLEP this week and passed with 20 points to spare. I spent less than 2 weeks with this study guide before taking the CLEP. Pay attention to the theory and the theorist who goes with it. Make sure you really know the definition of each of the management theories (functional, systems, etc) so that you can recognize them on the test. You'll need to know not only what the theory is but also be able to distinguish which theory is being described in a real-life management situation. Good luck!
