5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELSIOR STUDENTS YOU CAN PASS THIS CLEP TEST!, May 7, 2006

By	Pete Hardison (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: CLEP Western Civilization II w/CD-ROM (REA): 1648 to the Present (REA Test Preps) (Paperback)

The Western Civilization II CLEP test is rarely taken and this is to my knowledge the only comprehensive study guide for it other than the recently released and unproven review by National Learning Corporation which lacks a CBT sample test for your home computer. This REA CLEP guide didn't hit the bookstores and Amazon until December 31, 2005. Before then if you took this CLEP test you had no idea what kind of material you where getting into or what exactly you were supposed to study in order to pass. Don't be fooled into thinking that this CLEP test is easy which its not. The actual test will be 119-122 questions and you will neeed a good understanding on everything from Louis XIV and the French Revolution to Gorbachev and his exact contributions to the Soviet system of government. You will also need to know what the political map of Europe looked like in each period from 1648 to the present. Yes you can pass this CLEP test but if you've have never taken a CLEP test before you might want to first try something easier such as Principles of Marketing. If you have taken and passed several CLEP tests before then yes you can study for and pass the Western Civilization II CLEP. In as little as ten days before the actual CLEP test you can test yourself each day on the computer with the CBT practice included with the book until you have memorized all of the answers and then read and have a good understanding of the detailed explanations in the back of the book and you will get a passing grade on this CLEP test. REA has done it again with this book and a good understanding of the material in it you can pass the Western Civilization II CLEP test!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not so great -Review book mostly, April 2, 2007

By	A. Jeangeorges "Canard" (FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: CLEP Western Civilization II w/CD-ROM (REA): 1648 to the Present (REA Test Preps) (Paperback)

I passed the clep Western Civilization II, not too long ago.
I used this book, but as i was taking the test i realized that most of the information was much harder than the one on the practice exam...
I was able to pass the test, because i knew some information that did not figure in the book.

Also the cd has the same 2 tests that are in the book also, so i would recommend buying the one with the CD to people who are not familiar with the Celp format.

If i were you, i would use this book, for review ONLY!! Use a college western civilization textbook also.....

Good luck!!!
