4.0 out of 5 stars English CLEP so far...will comment more later, July 13, 2005

By	A. Cheek "Photo Chick" (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I passed the English Composition CLEP today using this book. It was not the only resource I used, however. I rated it four stars, but would rather give it 3.5, because there are so many practice tests included that you can drill yourself quite a bit. With two pre-tests (one for each part of the exam) a subject review, and two more post-tests, your progress is easy to track. The accompanying CD has differing tests from what are given in the book also.

The answer key doesn't always do a good job of explaining why a certain answer is best, especially on the CD (where there are no explanations, just a correct/incorrect statement - VERY frustrating). There were a couple of answer mistakes also, and before you think I'm exaggerating or beginning to sound bitter, some of the answers did not apply to their questions in any way whatsoever. It was as if the wrong set of answers were put with the wrong set of questions. While minor, these kinds of mistakes make a person start to doubt the rest of the book. The review in the middle is useful, however.

English Composition is the only subject I've tested in using this core requirement study guide. I will update this review when and if I pass other CLEP exams using it. I've taken the History II and the Analyzing Literature CLEPS also, and this test was the most difficult (even though English was one of my better subjects in school). It's been 20 years since I was in a classroom, and with a week and a half of study, I passed. That should say something for the content of this book. Although, Purdue University has wonderful language writing resources on the internet, which I also used.

I recommend this book in preparing for the English Comp CLEP, but I also recommend Strunk's "Elements of Style", as almost everything in that book applied to the grammar on the test. (It's also an excellent reference book for future classes.) This isn't the 5 star study guide I expected when I ordered it, but I'm glad I purchased it.

**Updated 8/25/05**

Since originally writing this review, I have taken the Social Sciences & History CLEP based on the materials provided within it. I passed this CLEP also with room to spare, and was happy with the overall review information. I think the exam was more economics-oriented than this book's practice tests demonstrated, but it was helpful in passing, and gives a nice body of info to review from. I also enrolled for 2 weeks at InstaCert, and while this helped in some respects, most of the test was economic/historic in nature...which is already contained in this review guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Overview at its best, August 15, 2003

By	gunngirl (Chicago, Illinois USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: CLEP Success 2003, 5th ed (Paperback)

The best thing about this is the overview after each section. There are over 100 test questions, so you at least have more than what the test gives you to practice with.

The CD rom is an added bonus and really has some great practice questions, the way the answers are shown is even better, with the little explanations.

However, the overview is fantastic. While it can't give you everthing, it gives you 99% of what you will need to know. That is really what you need to study because once you takee the test and know the right answer the test sort of become obsolete. The questions are good for timing yourself and gettting yourself ready to be able to skip the harder questions and answering ones you know are pretty sure of.

Overall, this is the best book I have seen for the Clep yet.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not Excellent, December 14, 2005

By	Naohime (Torrance, CA) - See all my reviews

I purchased this book first for CLEP exam prep. First, I was intimidated to know how much I've forgotten. Then I purchased Comex and Cracking the CLEP books after reading some of the reviews, and those books were really great. Compare to this Peterson's book, actual exam was much easier, only a few questions were on-per with questions in this book. It's been a while since I studied math, but I got the score I needed. I recommend to use Comex book and Cracking the CLEP first then use this book's review part as suppliment.
