Not one question was on the test
I expected to see at least one reviewed question on the test, but did not see any. I passed with a 52, but it was not because of this book. Other study guides helped somewhat. I'm just glad that it's over!!
Great Study Guide!!
I used this study guide along with the CLEP Success book to sstudy for the Humanities CLEP test. The information provided in both books and the sample test questions definitely helped me to pass this test. I studied for a week solid and passed the test with a high score.
Essential....would not have passed without it.
This Humanities CLEP study guide was the only reason I passed the test. The test is very broad and this study guide gave me the information I needed to pass the test. I really had very little knowledge about fine arts/humanities. I used this guide to study a week before the test. GREAT BOOK!
Very Helpful
Not much to add that any of the other reviewers haven't already said, just another recommendation.
I found this book extremely helpful, especially the general outline section that does a quick summary of the history of literature, art, music, and architecture. Because of the broad nature of the humanities test, you will have to find some additional material. If you plan on taking more than one of the general exams, I highly recommend REA's General CLEP exam study guide(which includes a CD-ROM), and CLEP Success 2004. Art history books with pictures are helpful, but may not be necessary since many of the questions are based off of well known works, but DK publishing had some good general books that fit the bill nicely.
Excellent guide!
While this guide does not teach you absolutely everything you need to know to pass the exam, it teaches most of it. It gives you excellent test taking skills, which is necessary if you haven't taken a computerized CLEP exam before. (I hadn't.) Next, it gives you a good grounding on all areas covered by the exam. About half of the questions in the book were on the exam I took. Another third of the questions taught me how to answer similar questions on the actual exam. I got full point: 80 out of 80 on the exam I took using only this guide, the 10 sample questions I got from College Board for $10, and a little bit of prior knowledge. You can easily pass (50%) with this guide. GOOD LUCK to you!
