How much of the Humanities Clep has to do dates/times. Things like "When was the baroque period?" or "So-in-so won a Pulitzer Prize in ________ for Some Novel." I'm very bad at that sort of thing. Dates drain out of my head like a sieve.

Also in regards to poetry, how well should you know the poems/excerpts on the flashcards? (Should you have them memorized verbatim?)


I’m only in the first real week of studying for this exam and the amount of information seems overwhelming. I searched previous posts, and found a lot of great tips and help, but these questions didn’t seem to be addressed. I’m thinking 3-4 weeks of study should get me to pass.

The information will seem overwhelming, but remember, you don't have to recall information on the test; you just need to recognize correct answers.

So here's what I recommend; read each question and explanation thoroughly, but don't agonize over any question for more than a few seconds. Go through all of the questions like this 3, 4, 5, or 10 times until you start feeling comfortable with the information.

For additional reassurance (but not mandatory), take the Petersons exams and the CLEP sample test. They can boost your score by a few points, so I personally think they're worth the investment.

Good luck!

I forgot to ask about the Comex guides.
I've seen them mentioned. Where do you get these guides, and are they good, and do you need to worry about publication years?

Thanks!

CLEP This - Excelsior Students!!, March 3, 2006
Reviewer: Brian R. Fey Sr. "ShotoJuku-Kaicho" (Tampa Bay, Fl) - See all my reviews

This book by far is a MUST HAVE if you want to PASS the Humanities CLEP exam. This book offers a broader yet pinpoint review of the material covered on the actual exam than the REA book. I passed with a 64. GET THIS BOOK!!!!

Thanks for the replies and I'll definitely get the comex guide. I'm still worried though about all the timelines and dates. Am I just stressing for nothing?

I'm a very avid fan of the Peterson exams. They are high quality, and honestly the best way I have to gauge my level of where I'm at on a CLEP. If you are at all nervous about this particular CLEP, I'd strongly urge you to take the Peterson's practice Humanities. If you are getting over 50% right, you should be good. I'd suggest going with the 60% rule just to be safe however.
