Joules Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Ds talked to his advisor and plans to take a few CLEP tests this summer to get some core out of the way so he can focus on other classes. I was going to buy him study books with sample tests since it's been awhile since he had these classes in high school. Any suggestions for: American History I and II American Government English, not sure which one yet Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristayl Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Dd passed both US History CLEPs and the Government CLEP using the REA practice tests. I bought the older versions with the tests on CD-ROMs so that she could re-take the tests. The current versions they sell with online tests can't be retaken. Studying missed questions and retaking the tests was the most valuable prep. I found the CD-ROM versions at online used bookstores, but if you do this, make sure the description specifies that the CD is included. Here are the ISBNs: 978-0878912728 978-0878912735 978-0738603063 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaConquest Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I would use the flash cards on InstaCert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomsintheGarden Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) My children have successfully used REA prep books and the online flashcards at Speedyprep and Instantcert. They have passed every CLEP they have taken so far. Edited March 15, 2017 by MomsintheGarden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamee Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Anyone have insight on these? I found a few at our library. Otherwise, I've been using REA too. http://www.passyourclass.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Anyone have insight on these? I found a few at our library. Otherwise, I've been using REA too. http://www.passyourclass.com Our library has those also. They offer more of an outline and flashcards. Before we discovered instantcert my kids found these flashcards really helpful. The brown books simply aren't as complete. You must add more resources to be confident of passing I think. There were a couple of exams (think they may have been Dsst's) that did not have a REA book just the brown one. My dc's combined the brown book with one of the recommended textbooks (bought used cheaply) and did fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 We used REA for both CLEPs and SAT IIs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
