I was wanting to sign up to use the flash cards for the A&I Literature CLEP, but didn't see it on the list for courses offered? Does anyone know if this site offers this course?

Sorry there are no flashcards for A&I Lit; you may want to try the REA book.

Many of us have passed CLEP Analyzing and Interpreting Literature without any preparation whatsoever. Search to find out what others have done to pass.

What would flashcards teach you anyway? They can't analyze every piece of literature for you
Just learn some basic English terms like metaphor, allegory, etc and take it.. that's what I did and I scored a 68.
But watch the clock! This is the only test I've ever taken where I've needed EVERY minute available.

There is a Peterson's test available. As MA2 mentioned, go over a few literary terms. Then, take a Peterson's or two. If you score well on the Peterson's, don't waste any more time. Get to the testing center pronto.
Unless reading/English are a serious weak point for you, I think you'll be ok. The practice tests would let you know what to expect and whether you're ready, though my guess is, you probably are..

They put the scores in Peterson in %. So what is a good % Peterson score?

I had a brain fart about the score. They have the score above the percentage. So I am guessing anything above a 50 is good?!?!?

If I recall I scored about a 60% on the Peterson's exams... and I got a 68 on the real test, which I believe equates to an "A."
So I would imagine getting half right is good enough... but study those literary terms and you might get a few more right. Also, in my opinion, the Petersons practice tests were harder than the real one.
