US History Clep, please help
#11
REA, Petersons, Instantcert, Online Videos, combo got me a 61 with four days of relaxed studying.

If anyone needs the REA History I book, let me know. I will ship free of cost. Really helpful, but no longer needed!

Hi all and thank you for this post it seems to give me some ideas to prepare to take the exam.
I am new and would hope some feed back to prepare for the exam.

Which Rea book edition would you recommend, besides InstantCert will help me pass the US History 1?

I posted my thoughts on this CLEP at the bottom of this post. I used an pretty old edition of the REA guide, and it was still very helpful.

Besides the REA book, if you have or can get a high school textbook, it'll greatly help to fill in the chinks and tie everything together.
