I just returned from taking the HG&D CLEP exam --- with a passing score. (55/50)
I will say that while the exam was not as difficult as all of the practice materials I used to prepare for the exam, you still must know a great deal of information. Some of the reasons that make this exam difficult is the use of medical, psychological, and theorist terms and concepts that are very precise and virtually eliminate common sense answer choices. Either you knowthe material -- or you don't. In many cases there appear to be 2 answers that are 100% correct depending on how you intrepret what the question is asking. Plus, I would say that less than 50% of the time that one could eliminate 1 of the 5 choices for obvious reasons.
The woman at the exam center said that she didn't get very many students take this exam. I suppose I can see the reason why. Not a fun test to study for or take.
Regardless, I have just earned my final three credits for degree completion. cheersmate
Best of luck to all of you.
