I am taking this test a week from today...not sure what to study if I need to study at all? Any words of advice from those who have taken this CLEP? Thanks...I know I could review different literary terms on the internet, but what else?

Hi Boston nurse, I currently am in long term care & rehab in Revere. I just took that CLEP last week at North Shore Community College. I found that there was not enough time to really think to hard about the questions there is a lot of reading. There is really no way to study for it it's all analyzing what they give you for poems and play writings. I just winged it and someone got the highest score my advisor at excelsior has seen in a long time. Don't spend to much time on each ? Just give you best answer because the time goes by very fast. If English is your first language you should be fine. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone else because the ? Are deep and really require to read English and know what they mean the way they write. There are 78 ? and they only score you on the ones that are right and you have to get at least 50.

Nice, I am taking it at NSCC too. I have heard you can't really studyfor it, but thought I would ask. Good to know about the time limits. Thanks!

Just literary terms, and honestly, those didn't really help me much. I just winged it. Be sure to read fast........I would read the question first then read the passage. You will need all the time they give.
