    Default Passed

    Hey everyone,

    Just came back from taking CLEP American Literature. Guess what I passed. Hurray, ice-cream for everyone.

    It wasn't an easy exam for me. I arrived at the University in NYC and was surprised to see about 200 people have a party(or get-together) in the hall outside of the small Testing Room. To make matters worse, there was an adjacent room with Kids and Loud-mouth adults screaming and kicking the walls. Also, the room wasn't sound proof, I could hear every noise emanating from the party.
    So I stuck my index fingers in my ear and tried to concentrate by reading the questions aloud. It worked, thus my score is 59 - cannot be more than happy with that.
    Regretably this was last clep, the other 2 being Micro Eco and Psy. But I'll still visit this forum once in a while and contribute, like the kind people that helped me get through with this beast of a clep.

    Bye for now.

    I recommend the complete idiots guide to American Literature. I used it as my prime source for studying. I can now tell people that this exam was not as intimidating as I first thought. And good luck on your upcoming exam.

    Ditto,......But my test had many, many questions on poetry which the idiots guide didn't cover. I knew about half of them, so I reccommend to also use a poetry book, The idiot's guide and IC. I only got a 47 and I blame it on the poetry section.


    P.S. There also a lot of questions about female writers. Who & what they wrote.
