CLEP Humanities

[Ruddigore]

Yes, I'd say it'd doable. I used about a month to prepare even though I had quite a bit of background. I probably could have taken it after a week or two if I had really needed to. Here's some of the feedback I posted in the Specific Exam Feedback Section:

• InstantCert (IC) flash cards
• Kaplan practice exam
• Peterson’s practice exam
• Princeton Review practice exam
• Two REA practice exams
• An art history book, which I gave a cursory reading
• Wikipedia

IC is invaluable. Do it at least twice. Doing it once would be going over it until you can get most all the questions right; doing it twice is going over to see how much you remember (and to refresh your memory). Every time you get a question wrong, look the answer up (particularly if it’s a person) on Wikipedia and learn something about it. One of Wikipedia’s strengths is the “influenced/influenced by” section beneath authors’ photos. With it, you can guide your self to related information not covered in IC (since IC is not all-encompassing).

Of the exams, the Princeton Review test was the easiest, and the Peterson’s or REA tests the hardest. One thing that made the REA tests difficult was how they mixed up all the questions. The Petersons’s exam was more like the real thing in how it organized its questions by subject.

Hope it turns out well! Just keep plugging away.
