Humanities clep exam

[snazzlefrag]

I'm taking this one in the morning (17 Feb).
Although I have been hitting the Instacert hard for a couple of weeks and I have read through the study guide, there still seems like a lot material!!!
For those that have taken the exam, what was the one thing on it that you wish you had studied more?

Thanks!!

This exam covers a VAST amount of knowledge. However, because it is so WIDE, not much DEPTH is required.

Your best bet is to memorize as many of the following as possible:

Authors and their major works. For example:
- Who wrote "Catcher in the Rye"? (J.D. Salinger)
- What did Harper Lee write? (To Kill A Mockingbird)

Poets and their major works. For example:
- Who wrote "Sonnets of the Portuguese"? (Elizabeth Barrett Browning)
- Which Irish poet wrote "Sailing to Byzantium"? (Yeats)

Composers and their major works (and their period). For example:
- Which Romantic period composer composed "Peer Gynt"? (Greig)
- Haydn and Mozart both composed during which period? (Classical)

Artists and their major works (and their style). For example:
- Which artist painted "Geurnica"? (Picasso)
- Degas and Renoir painted in which style? (Impressionist)

In addition, review some basic mythology, some literary terminology, some architects, etc.

Write out a list of names from the categories above and memorize what their major work(s) are, and which period they represent.

The more you can memorize, the higher your score will be. This exam is mostly made up of questions which test your ability to recall names, famous works, and significant periods/styles etc.

I studied intensively for this exam (because I was frightened by it), and I ended up with a 73.

Hope that helps,
