Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could recommend study notes or material for the English Lit. CLEP? I am taking it in a couple of weeks and would really appreciate any feedback. Thank YOU!

I just took and passed that CLEP last week. I highly recommend the InstantCert specific exam feedback AND Baron's EZ-101 Study Keys for English Literature. Between the two, you should be able to pass no problem.
