    There is no essay on this exam.

    The REA book will teach you "how" to work the exam.

    Use the "SEARCH" feature to look for other A&I Lit threads, they're packed with great info!

    Good Luck!!

    I took this exam cold with zero knowledge of the subject ..... I managed to squeak by with a 52! Luck was the only reason I passed this exam! I would not recommend taking this test cold!

    Wow, congratulations! Hey, a pass is a pass, and that's 6 nice new credits you got! So if I studied REA and some other materials suggested for about a month, would my chances be pretty good that I would pass? I am looking to take this one after the Humanities exam.

    All I did for this test is I took the three practice exams in the REA book and the practice exam in the Official CLEP Guide. I think you'll do just fine. I am not a good test taker, it was my first test ever and I did okay. If you get 60% on the official practice test then I say go for it!

    Very easy in my opinion (as you can see from my signature it isn't very credible! ) for 6 credits. Good luck!
