I guess I'm at 34 then. Not 37

Nixi is right- TESU does it differently for now.

You're scaring me now haha. 34 37????

It is indeed 37, hence the "jk" and cheers emoticon. :p

Any tips for last minute cramming and memorizing?

Get some sleep. Eat a good breakfast. Walk in like you own it.

Passed both exams this morning! What a relief.

American Lit with a 56, and A&I with a 54. Honestly, American Lit (if you know your terms) was pretty easy. Just know the eras with the major works and authors and you'll be okay. A lot of "match this with the author" questions.

A&I on the other hand was a monster. Definitely didn't expect it to be that hard. Don't overlook this one, and make sure to review as much as you can before you submit!

Completely agree on A&I. A lot of people consider it one of the easiest CLEPs... I'd disagree with my score of 53 milelol:

Congratulations!

I call that one an "endurance" race. Both my husband and I took it on the same day. I read a lot but realized I DON'T do THAT kind of reading a lot lol. It requires focused hard reading for the whole length of the test- I think I had fewer than a minute to spare walking out of there. Hubby said it was the worst experience of his life lol. He HATED that exam. He passed, I can't remember his score- low 50's. I would say if your reading comprehension is even a little shaky you're going to hate this test- and I don't mean regular reading, I mean reading like King James Bible, old classics and poetry.

I purchased the College Board CLEP practice exam for $20 for Am. Lit. My test is tomorrow and I am still double checking passages from the authors covered. I have a feeling the test questions aren't going to mirror the actual questions so I will do a lot of skimming major works tonight. Ughghg. Using tips mentioned in this thread like identifying eras, authors, and the major works. I may create my own matching test.
