Summary: Dissatisfaction Guaranteed!
Review: Don't waste your time and money on buying this book. It includes ONLY sample tests and answers with no explanation of right and wrong answer choices. I took the Human Growth and Development test and the questions offered on the test compared with those offered in this book had very few similarities. The CD sampler simply teaches you how to use a mouse etc. Spend your money on something more resourceful.

Summary: A Little Misleading
Review: I chose this book over others because of the included CD-ROM that has "practice exams." To me this meant that I would be able to sit in front of my computer and complete entire exams to get the feel for the format and to make the scoring process faster. Practice exams in reality means that you'll get to take a look at the format of the test and you can practice clicking on navigational buttons, but you don't actually get to take practice tests on your computer. You can actually download the information that you get on the CD-ROM from the CLEP web site for free. The practice exams in the book are useful, but I'd say that "Cracking the CLEP" and "CLEP Success" are just as thorough in serving as study guides. If the CD-ROM is what is enticing you to choose this title over the others, don't let it... it's more handy as a coaster than a study aid.

Review: I wanted a CD with a sample test that I could actually practice with, on my computer. On the back of the book it says "Practice taking an exam on your computer using the enclosed CD" There is not even 1 question to practice with. The CD is full of directions on how to use your mouse and how to use the on-screen menu (during the actual test). I'm going to return this book.

Summary: "CLEP Sampler" on the CD is a joke.
