Editorial Reviews

Review

“Thank you, CLEP! I took CLEP exams for the last three classes I needed to graduate. It saved me $3,000 and the computer format was user friendly.”
Julie Thornton
2004 graduate of Concordia University, Austin, Texas
 
“The 12 credits I earned by taking CLEP exams helped me have the time and funds to take additional classes and graduate on time. That never would have happened without CLEP.”

2.0 out of 5 stars This is supposed to help?, August 23, 2005
By dsmall (slidell, la) - See all my reviews
This book has very limited information. I bought it because I am taking several clep exams and thought this would be suffiecient. Wrong! The information covered in the book is not even the same as the exam. Don't waste your money on this book, especially if you're taking an exam in which you have little backround. The clep's are very difficult and require several resources to prepare.

1.0 out of 5 stars Marginally Useful, October 4, 2005
By JeanMarie (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
I'm sorry that I paid good money for this "study guide". The practice tests offer some insight into the test questions but that's about all this book is good for. One thing that really ticked me off about the tests are that you can't even find out if you would have passed the test! There is an answer key but the book explains that there is some secret formula for grading the actual test.

2.0 out of 5 stars There are better resources out there, November 29, 2005
This book is not a good resource to prepare you for these exams. The included practice exams do not even have answers. I just finished my degree and have earned over 80 credits using exams. I recommend the getyourcollegedegree website ebook as it outlines everything you will need with several complete study guides.

The guide is helpful because it has sample tests. You need more than just this guide to study for the individual tests.
