Hey everyone,
Just wanted to let you know I signed up to take this test on Friday. I have done the peterson's and got at least half right with minimal concentration, so I think I am going to take a stab at it. Any suggestions are welcome. Please keep your fingers crossed for me. Thank you for your help and support as always....

Thanks all. I have used the search methods and seem pretty confident. When I say "minimal", there are so many distractions in my house that I can't really concentrate like I need to. I hope I am not jinxing myself. Wish me luck!

One thing I noticed on this exam: If the passage is unintelligible, they'll give you a few easy questions (an example of alliteration is...). If the passage is actually in modern English and makes sense--don't get too excited. The questions for those are unintelligible. All in all, most people seem to pass and my practice test experience was pretty close to yours. Obviously--watch the time. I saved the gobbledegook passages for last to make sure that I gave the passages I had a chance of understanding enough time to get those questions correct. That got me a 61.

I'm taking this test tomorrow. I need 6 humanities credits and it seems alot of posters were saying this was a cake walk. So I signed up for this instead of the dreaded humanities. Well, I did tests from the Rea book and Peterson's and passed those. But....I still am not comfortable. I was used to getting 70's and 80's during clep practice tests and I barely got a 60 when I did these. Half the time I was thinking, "Is this written in English?" Now wishing I decided to just go ahead and do the humanities exam. I will let you all know how I do.

Good Luck!!!

April004,

I studied a lot for Humanities and I think that it warranted it. I would much rather take A&I Lit of the two. I didn't need to study for it and passed.
