American Literature Clep Test Questions

Also look at the free videos and practice quizzes for this subject found at education-portal.com.

I second this. I found the website very helpful.

A lot of questions: who wrote the following book based on the passage, lots of interpret the meaning of this poem, a few: order these books in chronological order. There were a handful of authors I never heard of in the questions, and a few authors I never heard of in the answers.(Probably something to throw you off). All in all, I used educational portal and Barron's study keys as a reference and passed. You definitely need something that go's into analysis of the work and short synopsis is very helpful.

I found the hardest part of the test was the interpreting poems sections. Some were clear, but others were so confusing I had no idea what the right answer was and put forth my best guess. Thanks to educational portal, I was able to save time and answer a number of these because the purpose had already been discussed.

(Disclaimer: I also took 2 semesters of American Literature in HS. Moons ago)
