Is CLEP English Lit the ONLY exam you could take to complete your degree? Let us know what specific requirement you are trying to fulfill, and perhaps we can come up with some alternatives for you.

Of course, you can still take the English Lit exam in September. But it might be helpful if you know you have several other options available to you as well.

Just a thought,

Actually, my school gives six UL credits for the English Lit CLEP exam, and I need those six UL credits to complete the number of UL units they require. I was hoping to get it all done in one fell swoop with one test, and as far as I know, that is the only one I can do that with. If anyone knows of another option, I would be happy to hear it.

I think what tripped me up most about the English Lit exam was deciphering the meaning of various poems--especially the stuff written in Old English. Also, I remember getting a few questions on Virginia Woolf. I knew almost nothing about her, but I will read up on her more before taking the test again. Who knows, maybe that would have been all I needed to know to bring my score of 49 up to a 50!

If memory serves, I believe the exam covers the periods from Beowulf 449 A.D. to the present time. That is a looooong time period to go over, and it is virtually impossible to know which poems will be covered in it.

Does anyone who has passed the Eng Lit CLEP have any advice on what materials I should use to pass this exam? Apparently, my study materials were not sufficient enough. --Thanks
