Also, I noticed that in instacert and in the spreadsheet (for fiction/non-fiction) it simple lists the works that authors have done. Is this because it is unlikely that the CLEP will ask you any specifics about the story? Or are they more focused on just knowing if you can identify which author wrote what?
Thanks
I've heard the exam is a combo of trivia (who wrote what and what is it about) and what genre/style/time period is this, plus the poetry/lit analysis. I'm going to Sparks Notes for major works of lit and reading the plot summary and character list and taking the quiz. We watched Othello, Hamlet, MacBeth, Gulliver's Travels, Jane Eyre, Romeo and Juliet, King Lear and I've rented Raisin in the Sun and Taming of the Shrew. We are using youtube videos for Vivaldi, Puccini, Mozart, Walt Whitman's My Captain, Beethoven's Ode to Joy, pavane and polonaise dances and more. My laptop is overheating....
If I don't know the work or the author I look it up, find an image or video clip to help me remember. Have I mentioned that I'm a visual/auditory learner? I even think googling something helps if you are a tactile learner.
Tomorrow I'm taking over the kitchen table and making a big posterboard graph of the big players and googling what we don't remember. My son wants to be ready to test on Thursday and we're "boiling the water".
