I haven't attended college in 12 years; I purchased this book and studied it for approximately 2 weeks, took the Freshman English Comp exam without the essay and passed with a 68. I would highly reccommend this book for the CLEP but you do need to review the material and utilize the practice exams. Good Luck!

I reviewed the material included for approximately one week and passed the test with a score of 66. I found the actual examination to be more difficult than the practice exams. I was able to complete the practice exams in a fraction of the time allotted, but almost ran out of time when taking the actual CLEP.

I attempted the Eng Comp I & II CLEP last October and had studied primarily from this workbook. I was very reasured after working through all the exercises and tests of this workbook that my CLEP would reflect the high scores. It did not. I scored 49 and did not pass. The actual CLEP was an order of magnitude greater in difficulty than the workbook and indicated to me that I was not adequately prepared. I am a 3.85 student, study intensely, and have many professors with degrees in English ask if I write professionally. Although this does not qualify me for anything other than a probablility of passing the CLEP, my expectations to perform exceptionally well was high.

I am planning to take the test again and my strategy this time is to study from several different sources which, perhaps, was my mistake previously, but quite honestly, I was very confident from working the exercises in this book that I would have no worries with the actual test. Best wishes to all looking to CLEP, as it is indeed a challenge not to be underestimated, no matter how great you percieve your ability to achieve.

Excellent companion material to the official CLEP guide. Dteailed explainations to practice problems - written in "mini" text book format covering the subject matter and not only test questions.

I purchase this item as new, when it arrived it had pen marks all over. I could have requested an used copy but I paid for a new one and that is not what I got.
