Don't buy this book if u don't want to spend time on learning the hard questions that will not appear on real clep tests. I registered for one exam of natural science and after reading this book, i felt that i did'nt know anything about natural science; cancelled and postponed the exam. But actually the exam was very easy with all the simplest and straightforward questions .The books that I felt useful for clep are Barron's , REA and cracking the clep

I studied out of 7 different preparation books, and this one, by far is the worst one! The questions in this book are really difficult, tricky and unlike the CLEP exam! The questions in the actual CLEP exam arent tricky like the SAT or GRE, they are straightforward. For some reason, Peterson's has decided to put in SAT-like questions on their practice exam. This book should be thrown out of the market because its NOTHING like the real exams! I would recommend Princeton Review's Cracking the CLEP, and Review for Clep Examination by Comex Systems. The REA also writes really accurate practice exams. If you are taking English, I also recommend you purchase "The Writer's Reference" by Diana Hacker. That was probably the most helpful book in brushing up on your English.

Looking to maximize my ability on the CLEP tests to avoid taking numerous classes that I have no interest in. If you'd like to get practice on these tests, than this book may help.

I found the practice exercises in this book to be very helpful, and I did really well when I took the CLEP afterwards.
