Western Civilization I

[aadjodha1]

Just passed the Western Civilization I with a 62. I recommend studying Instant Cert along with REA Western Civ I. The questions on REA really helped and really need to be studied together.

CONGRAT's!! I need to take either Western Civilization I or II. Which one would you say is easier? And what is REA? I'm so nervous about it being very difficult to pass.

I took the Western Civ I test and passed with a 56. I prepared by re-taking the REA practice exams until I could get all the answers right. I didn't find this site as useful as the REA material.

I recently passed the Western Civ 1 test with a 65 using the REA Western Civ 1 book, a high school ancient history text, and the InstantCert flashcards.
The REA book included what you need to know and I would highly recommend anyone taking this test to get the book. I got mine from Amazon. Just search on REA Western Civilization 1 and it will come up. I would advise you to get the version which includes the CD of practice tests. The book includes printed versions of the tests, but I found it very helpful to practice on the computer with an official time restraint. It also scores it for you as well.
InstantCert and the high school text book I got for this were both also extremely helpful to me. They both supplemented the REA's weak spots wonderfully.

Good luck and I hope that this helps you.

Congrats!!! Don't it feel gooood? I just passed West Civ 1 today too! I scored a 70 after doing better on the paterson's test, which were much harder but a great study aid.

I think this is the most intense clep I have studied for (soc, psych, us hist1)
because of all the artists, writers and "reasons why" for so many different civilizations you needed to know.

I watched a handful of historical documentaries, which I highly recommend doing before you hit the texts if you want to stay sane.

Ic posts were invaluable to me, thanks to all who shared the great info!
