American and English Lit CLEPs

[sirjake]

For anyone else that may want information on taking these tests, I post this information:

I passed American literature today (needed 50, scored a 60). I had three main sources:

Wikipedia's American Literature page. I read all of their main page on American Lit and branched off from there to read a few of the biographies or book synopsises.

Freeuniv.com's American Literature page. OK, so actually, this just pointed me to this page, but hey, credit where credit is due. This page was quite useful.

Then there was The Complete Idiots Guide to American Literature. I spent about two hours with it at Barnes & Noble last night. I only got to read about the first 200 pages before I needed to head home. I think it was rather helpful.

I probably could have passed with just the first two, but the third was certainly helpful.
