This review is from: CLEP German (w/audio CD) (College-Level Examination Program) (Plastic Comb)

I used this book to test my German skills, not to learn German. I was scoring around 90% on the tests in the book. I scored high enough in the actual CLEP exam to achieve credit for four semesters German.

There were a few problems (multiple choice questions not in the same order as the verbal questions), but the tests were very similar to the actual CLEP sections. It allowed me to evaluate my knowledge.

3.0 out of 5 stars Low quality Audio CD, Inaccuracy, December 3, 2005

This review is from: CLEP German (w/audio CD) (College-Level Examination Program) (Plastic Comb)

I bought this book to prepare for the German CLEP Test. I wanted to see what the exam looks like. I sure hope the exam is more accurate than this book is. It is full of mistakes (answer key is not always correct) and some of the questions are not even in the order of the book (see other review). I am a disappointed. I'd think a published book would undergo serious proofreading. It does not seem to be the case. Also the quality of the audio CD is really low, I had to crank out the volume to hear what was on the CD.

I am glad I got asked to do this review. I grew up bi-lingual - English/German. I got this book, because I need to Clep out of some of the german classes for my master's program. It is supposed to help you with grammar and correct usage of german... There are many, many, many spelling and even grammatical mistakes in the sample tests, in the reviews... Furthermore the CD's often don't match up with the book!! Incredible!! The quality of the CD's are often so bad, you can't understand - amateurish at best!!
DON'T BUY THIS BOOK!!!
