Help a Poor Newb?

[ncpenn]

I don't see American Lit on IC, what was the best way to study for that?

I think there are only two things you can do to prepare for this test. One is to get some familiarity with some lit terms (google for a list). However, there aren't a lot of questions about them.

Second, take a practice test or two to get a feel for what you'll see on the CLEP. I took a Peterson practice test, but REA has them as well (neither are free, but the REA one is cheaper if you buy their study guide as it comes with two practice tests).
