4.0 out of 5 stars could use more sample questions, August 23, 2000
This book is a very good overview of what to expect on both the Clep subject and general exams. It goes into depth on test timing, scoring, and score averages. It has sample questions from every test; as well as the break down of question subject matter. It goes a little bit into test strategy, and touches on about everything you need to know. I recommend it to people who have never taken a Clep exam, or are not sure if a Clep exam is right for them. I do wish it had more sample questions for each exam.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book was a big help!, March 17, 2000
I really got my money's worth out of this book. By using the example tests, which were very similar to the real CLEP tests, I was able to decide which tests I was ready to take. I saved over $1500 by being able to get college credit for what I already know instead of having to take classes. If you're heading back to school after spending time in the work force, this is an excellent tool.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best single reference for CLEP, July 25, 2001
By Jeane Redsecker (San Rafael, CA USA) - See all my reviews
If you are exploring the CLEP and want to buy just one book, this is it. Unlike some other preparation books, this one has 20-50 sample questions for ALL the available tests. It also lists topics covered in the test, and an estimate of the percentage of the test devoted to each topic. One effective strategy for using this book is to take the sample tests, without studying, in the subjects you know something about, and then pursue the ones you do best on. The book gives the correct answers for each sample question, but does not provide explanations or instruction in the subject.

I bought this book with the intention to take the exams at college, but it seems that most colleges do not accept these advanced placement exams for graduation credit?
