3.0 out of 5 stars In the middle, December 26, 2008

By	Andonios Valsamakis (San Antonio, Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

On one hand, I have to agree with the person giving this one star that it could be gotten from the CLEP website, but if you did want to order a book to review, this is a good one. For what it sets out to do, it does well. I am not sure that I can fault the product because the information contained can be gotten from another source for free. As a whole, it is detailed as well as comprehensive. It achieves the goals it hopes to accomplish. All the reader has to do is expend the effort and get prepared.

1.0 out of 5 stars this book is a complete waste of money!, April 16, 2009

By	Sarah Hippler - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book offers nothing that the CLEP website does not. There is not one word of study material in this book. The first 27 pages are: how to take the exams, where to take the exams,and how to study. The rest of the book was small practice tests for each subject. There is zero study material in this book.
