To whom it may concern:
I must say that my knowledge of Humanities is/was very limited. I used the Flash Card and the other available materials from this site to prepare for the test. While I understand that CLEP has several different tests for the same subject, these materials only helped 10 to 15 percent for this particular test. I was very disappointed. I would still recommend anyone to take the test, if you understand that you have a 50-50 chance at passing. Yes, one point hurts!

Pineland,
I feel your pain! How long did you study before taking the exam? I am taking the Humanities CLEP in two weeks and have very limited knowledge, though I am in my mid 40s. This is the last exam I need to pass to finish my degree. I just took History and Social Science in December and passed with a 54 only using the CLEP study guide, which after going over the 85 questions several times, I was acing. Only about 10% of that was actually on the exam and I literally guessed the rest. That was scary! Thanks for supplying the feedback from your experience.

I could also use some help. I'm taking a modern post modern Humanities CLEP but the flash cards on this site aren't organized by type and I seem to be studying periods of all ages. Is there a way to hone in on what I need to study for? I'm beginning to feel I wasted my money.

Honestly, that's what you need to study for this CLEP—everything. Try to get as wide a range of knowledge and learn as much trivia as possible
