CLEP TEST

I just took the test this morning. As others stated I had about 10 questions refering to the "antebellum" period. I read this book twice then took the practice tests on the computer several times. I passed with 60. I would recommend this book even though I didn't shop around. Buy the book read it a few times take the computerized tests and you should do fine. CLEPS save time and money.

A great reference for base knowledge of US History I

This book was key in my passing of the CLEP US History I exam. I read it from cover to cover and did the practice tests repeatedly until I got the answers correct. The only shortfall of the book is that it doesn't cover the "antebellum" period to the level that matches the exam. I suggest supplementing this book with instantcert.com flashcards and I also used sparknotes US History flashcards and timeline. In the end I found an old high school history textbook and used it to cement all the facts I had learned. Pay key attention to the order things happened and who intitiated certain acts and movements. Overall, this book is a must-have for prepping. I passed with a 69.

Worked for me

Some of the other REA CLEP studies are just ok. I bought this book and studied it 3 consecutive nights. Took the test. 66. I hadn't studied any history since high school. It worked ok for me. Dont sweat the test either, its easy.

Passed CLEP with 69!

This book offers an excellent overview of History. I highly recommend using this in preparation for the American History I CLEP exam. In addition to this text, I used Baron's EZ-101 Study Keys, "American History to 1877." I read them simultaneously to get a broader perspective of each era of history, then wrote out key events and people on index cards for review. I also did a lot of the AP US HIstory quizzes on the historyteacher.net website. Combined...after studying for a little more than a week, I acheived a 69 out of 80 on the CLEP test.

Great Study Guide

I knew nothing about early history, but I needed a history class. So, I bought this book in hopes it could give me enough basic knowledge for the exam. I read the book for about 1-2 hours a day for 5 days (including the tests at the end). I scored myself on the practice test and score a 62. I took the test and scored a 64 (passing is a 50). The only thing I studied was this book...Good luck!!!
