I am so glad to find this thread. For Sociology I studied for two weeks before I felt comfortable enough to take the test. For the psych clep same thing. Am. History II? 1 week. Humanities.....in my 3rd week of studying and still not comfortable. But reading this thread gives me hope. Went over some instant cert questions.....did surprisingly well on visual art. Somewhere in my brain is stored the names of the painters and I was able to somehow retrieve it. And on the ones I got wrong I figured if it was a multiple choice test I would have been able to pick the correct answer. I guess it paid to be roomates with a Fine Arts Major a few years back. On top of our coffeetable was an assortment of books with famous paintings. Who knew that they actually entered my brain when I was just browsing through them, waiting for my roomie to hurry up and wash her hair before embarking upon a night on the town.

But poetry...I bombed. Completely bombed. Ordered the Comex book to go along with the Rea book I've been studying. I'm hoping to retain some of it. But all the stuff about iambic pentameters. I think my head is about to explode. Thought I'd take a break from it and sat down to watch Frasier a few nights ago. What subject does Niles bring up but Iambic Pentameters!!! Is this a sign I ought to be studying instead of taking break?

Am thinking of scheduling to take this test in two or three weeks. I was on a roll with my cleps but I seem to have lost steam with this one. Still nervous about it but feel a little better about the test after reading this thread.
