Summary: You need this book!
Review: I have to say that this book was very big, fairly expensive and NOT HELPFUL. I got a 60 on the Humanities exam, but not ONE question on the actual CLEP exam was in this book. I would suggest saving your money & going to the library to look at art books, listen to classical music, read literature and rely more on your stock knowledge of the fine arts. Had I not had a good background, I would have surely not passed. Not worth the study time.

Summary: Save your time & money!
Review: I purchased this book to prepare for the Natural Science general CLEP exam. I have just taken the exam, and I feel quite comfortable in saying, I don't think that this book helped me answer a SINLGE question on the exam. The book offers information that is far too general. For example, the ENTIRE human biological systems are convered in just three pages. Yikes! Until this CLEP I was 6/6, so I feel somewhat qualified in evaluating and recommending CLEP-preparation materials. Beleive me when I tell you, this is the worst book I've ever used!Please, invest more time than I did in locating a study source for a six-credit CLEP exam.

Summary: Good for getting feel of the exam, not for solo study
Review: This book is thick (over 1000 pages). It contains several practice exams for each subject exam. I am convinced that this book alone will not allow you to pass the exams, but should be used to point you in the right direction to seek more information. The preface recommends another REA book, the Clep General Examinations Review Book. I think the other reviewers oversold the book -- it only contains practice exams selected from a test population, with explainations for the answers. There is no guarantee that the questions in this book will be mirrored on the exam.

Summary: Great supplement for humanities CLEP
Review: This book proved to be a comprehensive study guide for the Humanities CLEP. However, it is not enough to pass on its own. I would highly recommend purchasing additional general CLEP studies guides in order to take more sample tests. The sample tests in this CLEP guide are much more basic than the test. Also, you must supplement this guide with a good visual book of art & architecture from B.C. to present day. There are quite a lot of visuals of paintings, sculptures and architectural items to identify.

Summary: Kathy M.
Review: This is absolutely the greatest review for the CLEP Humanities Exam. It is very thorough, yet easy to understand. I bought 3 different review books for this exam, and found this text to be the best, by far. It is most important on all CLEP exams to complete the practice exams which are in the book. I scored over 75% correct answers with the help of this text and review of the practice exams. Buy it -- if you want to pass!
