Humanities Clep
I took it last week score and scored a 69. I did not find it too difficult and Instacert certaintly helped; alot. One word of advice and one that has been repeated throughout this forum is to read the Instacert answer's text. Sure you can memorize the answers but in my opinion many answers lie within the explanations and the questions are just a prompt for those explanations.
For example you get a tough question and have practically no idea what the answer is. You look at the choices and see 4 names you have never seen on instacert anywhere and one that you have seen several times. Hmmm.... Chose the name that you were exposed to.... Chances are if you have seen the name in the instacert questions or their explanations then chances are it is the correct answer. Note: this is not a hard and fast rule but it worked for me... Heck, there were some names in their I have never heard of and even a search of Wikipedia found nothing... weird..I guess they were minor players in humanities world...
Also, many questions asked to pick from a group of names and then decide which group were associated with dance, film, existentialism, surrealists, etc..
If you can recognize even one from each answer choice you can go a long way towards eliminating the wrong answer. Obviously if you were asked to pick choreographers out of a group of names an answer choice with Delacroix or Pei would not be the right answer.
Simply put.. study..use instacert... research to augment you knowledge and take practice tests along the way and enjoy the process. In any event, its good small talk for cocktail parties..... Good Luck.
