Son Passed US History I!

[Julie S.]

Just wanted to share our good news! Our 17yo homeschooled son just passed this CLEP yesterday! We were a little worried since the studying had to be interupted for an emergency trip to Boston (a friend's 14yo daughter almost didn't pull through her cancer treatment) and a family reunion in CA for 2 weeks. But he pulled it off and now that's over with

We used Vol. 1 of Exploring America (Notgrass) as our text and then studied the REA book extensively including taking each of the practice tests twice. He also watched some of the videos listed on this site (Resource: A Biography of America) and did a few of the quizzes on the AP site. A few events/people he googled for further research. Oh, he also skimmed through portions of the Sparknotes US History book.

Thanks for letting me share our joy!
