My First CLEP Exam

My First CLEP Exam

I took my first CLEP exam today. I am pursuing the B.A. in English degree from Thomas Edison State College, so I took the Analyzing and Interpreting Literature exam first. Here is what I used to prepare:

1. http://www.guidancenet.com/testprep/code/bcaflame.asp

2. http://www.degreeforum.net/specific-...ture-clep.html

3. Amazon.com: CLEP Analyzing & Interpreting Literature (REA) - The Best Test Prep for the CLEP (Test Preps): The Staff of REA: Books

I spent a total of about 20 hours studying the book and taking practice exams. The real exam was just like the practice exams online and in the REA book. Both resources are excellent and give a true feel for the real exam.

I took the exam at a local university. I studied for about an hour before I took the exam. For me, this was essential; it helped get my mind off other things and on literature, archaic English, and general test taking strategies. It all paid off; I got a 78/80. The person working at the assessment desk said it was the highest score she had ever seen on a CLEP test.

Next up: Humanities for 6 credits and Social Science and History for 6 credits!

Don't stop, don't slow down, don't pat yourself on the back, don't get sidetracked, don't listen to the haters, and most certainly Don't take your eyes off the prize!

Keep up the good work.
