Rating: Summary: Can't Get 6 Semester Hours of College Credit Any Cheaper! Review: This is a must have review book if you are planning to take the CLEP test. I got my book last Wednesday, studied Wednesday night, all day Thursday and about an hour on Friday. I took the test today (Monday) and got a 61, which is equivalent to a "B". I took the 3 tests in the book several times and focused on my weakest area, poetry. The actual test seemed much easier than the ones in the book, which means I was very well prepared. Also, you have 1:30 minutes to answer 80 questions on the computer when you take the test, as opposed to the same amount of time to answer 90 in the book. I figured it out -- these much needed 6 hours cost me about [$$$] a piece, including the cost of the book, shipping and handling and the CLEP test fee. Go for it, you can't get 6 semester hours of college credit any cheaper!
Rating: Summary: CLEP Analyzing & Interpeting Literature Review: This text helped me past the exam. I could not have done it without this book. I read the book on and off for 4 weeks, refreshing my high school++ knowledge. I took the three exams and was at the just passing grade. When taking the test, I suggest that you move quickly through the test, marking those which you are not sure of; then, leave time to go back over those questions you have marked for review. Good luck!
Rating: Summary: Great overview of terminology and literature samples........ Review: When studying for this CLEP, I purchased this book as a studyguide. Even though I've always done well on comprehension exams, this book provided an excellent overview of the terminology and types of reading samples included in the test. I recommend this book and advise that you not spend too much time or money on other studyguides. Basically, either you get it or you don't. Literature spans back too far and is too diverse to be covered by any guide(s) available. Good luck!
Rating: Summary: Just concentrate on the practice tests Review: Whoever wrote the Literature Review chapter should have read the review book for Freshman College Composition first. There were a number of incomplete sentences, several run-on sentences, and a few grammatical errors. The tone of that chapter is a little pompous and condescending, too. It was not what I expected from a review book. My advice is to concentrate on the practice tests and the detailed explanations of the answers and you'll do fine.
