5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Material., July 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Review for the CLEP Social Science and History Examination (Paperback)

This review is for those of us that had/have little or no background in the subject area, but need to pass the clep.

This book is an excellent start. It covers a wide array of material and the sample tests are appropriate to the type
of material on the real Clep. However, If you do not already
have a background in the subject area, this book is not enough.

In order to pass the clep, you should use four books.

1. This book
2. Cracking the Clep
3. The Best Test Preparation for the Clep (R.E.A.)
4. The Best Review for the Clep (R.E.A.)

All of these books together cover enough material and expose you to enough various concepts, that you should be more than prepared to pass the Clep.

While none of the Clep books contained any actual test questions, the concepts covered in the materials definately were on the test. This book was an enormous help.

ps. I passed the the test in the 98th percentile with an hour
and 18 minutes still left on the clock.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not even close!, October 12, 2002

This review is from: Review for the CLEP Social Science and History Examination (Paperback)

I used this book solely as a review for the CLEP exam, and received a score of 55 (barely passing) as opposed to the actual CLEP books - I got a 96 using the "official CLEP guide".

This book barely has any of the actual test material included in it, and the test had many, many things not even remotely touched upon in the book. I definitely will NOT use this brand again.

2.0 out of 5 stars a little help, March 12, 2006

This review is from: Review for the CLEP Social Science and History Examination (Paperback)

This book is NOT enough to pass the CLEP. It IS easy to read and does provide much knowledge. HOWEVER, I would have failed had I relied solely on this book. I also used Peterson's CLEP Success which helped me pass the exam much more than this book. I would suggest using them both.
