To Analyze or Not to Analyze, That is the Question!

Snickerdoodle Wrote:I was barely passing on the REA practice tests (nearly in tears!!) and then I got a 78 on the real thing. The analyzing was mostly common sense. And you don't really need to read anything. Big Grin I didn't for this test.

I began my CLEP journey with A & I, and did so poorly on the REA A & I practice tests I switched over to Psychology! I've since had very good experiences with the REA guides, but this one scared me silly. Thanks so much - I feel A LOT better!Smile

FYI check the Specific Feedback forum thread for this test for lots of useful info. Also, this test has a lot of reading so make sure you have a good strategy, e.g. skim the passage, skim the questions + answers for that passage, then for each question read from a few lines before the specified line to a few lines after.

Just wanted to thank everyone once again for all your help, encouragement and support. Even though I'm not an IC member at the present time, I do have the Specific Exam notes for the A & I test and they're very helpful - as they are for all the exams. I highly recommend joining IC just for this info alone!

I too benefit from a full-immersion multi-media approach to studying (my brain just doesn't like fill-in-the-blanks.) I'm not fast but I am thorough, so I'll concentrate on reviewing the literary terms (they're very fresh in my mind as I just took the Am Lit CLEP last Thursday) and go over my weakest area - English poetry. I was helped a lot with Am Lit poetry by listening to poetry readings on YouTube (there's a guy there with fantastic "James Earl Jones-type" voice called "SpokenVerse" who reads many of the major works) and check out dcan's study site. I have a "Poetry For Dummies" book that I've found helpful as well - it explains a lot about the mindset you need to interpret poetry, not just read it.

As a big bonus, I'm VERY happy to learn I don't have to know Old or Middle English!

When I think I've reached some sort of comfort level, I'll try my luck with Peterson's and see how I do.

Again, many thanks!Smile
