5.0 out of 5 stars Great book to prepare for Humanities CLEP

This was an excellent tool in preparing to take the Humanities CLEP. On the pretest I only felt comfortable with the sections on music. But thanks to the information in the book, was able to learn enough in the literature, visual arts and architecture, philosophy, and performing arts sections to pass the test. It was a lot to learn, but this book helped me do it!

This is a great book. If you have knowledge of the topics you should do ok. It is not for someone looking for the easy credit. I did this and it was brutal, I did pass. It would have been easir to take the regular class. If I had not been in the desert I would have choosen the class.

4.0 out of 5 stars Advanced CLEP test, be careful without background knowledge
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2006

This review volume was quite useful. I looked at everything Amazon was offering (from the collections with about 50 pgs. specific to the CLEP to full Humanities volumes like this), the reviews LAPL had in circulation, and some used book stores' offerings. I settled on this book and another called Mastering the CLEP (both written recently and I assumed would give me the most update scenarios for questions and review examinations).

Overall, I was impressed with REA's volume. However, a word of caution. The Humanities test is CHALLENGING. REA's book can seem like a maze of unfamiliar, and highly detailed, or even irrelevant ideas, people, places, dates, and movements if you are not well versed TO BEGIN WITH in the Humanities. The review book itself was simply a sweeping overview of the major sections of the possible test questions: Literature, Music, Art, Philosophy & Anthropology type subjects. It covered things in more broad catagories (Enlightenment, Industrial Revolutionary thought), but also was extrememly specific with the people and places which were relevant to the test.

Ultimately, I could not have passed the test without THIS review book, if that tells you anything. I needed a 50 for credit and received a 63, much due to the helpful review specifics I found in here. I read the entire book in a single day, reviewed the notes I took the morning of, went over the timeline of people and things in the index and took the test. This is NOT normal however. I studied Milton, Shakespeare, Philosophy, and music in undergraduate. My professors were excellent and personal and I read incessantly. It is hard on purpose (you are receving a semester of credit for taking a 140 question test...)

I would highly recommend the REA review book. It was at times too detailed (music section, ballet entries [ie. names of the position of the feet], etc.), but even though that slowed the reading down, it helped jog the memory and stimulate thinking for the test day questions.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice book, unreliable software
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2007

As a returning student 18 years out of the game, I wanted to get off to a big start in a subject area where I already felt pretty comfortable. I picked the CLEP Humanities because it would get me 6 hours of credit for knowledge I already possessed. After getting 61/70 correct on the College Board's "official" practice exam, I scheduled a testing date.

Then I got cold feet, decided a little preparation couldn't hurt, and ordered this book. The good reviews here were encouraging, and the "Testware" software put REA above the rest for me.

The good: The book contains concise yet comprehensive reviews of all the major subject areas covered on the test. (I thought I was pretty savvy, but I still learned a lot.) Each chapter ends with a drill on the subject matter -- including material that wasn't covered. If you learn all the material presented, you're sure to pass the test. There are three complete practice tests, all of which turned out to be much harder than the actual exam. I found the heightened difficulty level to be a plus: Better to not get too cocky and to be a little better prepared than necessary than to not be prepared enough. (If you're *that* close to the pass/fail line, maybe you need to just take the courses.)

The back of the book contains nice glossaries of (1) important literary figures by period and (2) literary terms. There's also a conventional subject index.

The not so good: Testware is a good idea executed badly. I used it to take the first practice test and it scored me with 55 correct answers out of 140. This was a little discouraging, as I thought I'd done better. As I reviewed the correct answers and explanations, I soon found 2 questions I was sure I had given the correct answers to that Testware said I answered incorrectly. Then I *knew* there was a glitch when a question I had answered incorrectly was scored as correct.

This was all within the first 27 questions, so I stopped right there and re-did the first test, duplicating my answers from before. This time, I created an Excel spreadsheet, entering first my answers and then the correct answers from the key. My actual number of correct answers on test 1 was 78, not 55 -- more in line with how I felt I had done. I didn't use Testware to take the second practice test, but stuck to my spreadsheet method for it and test 3 (which is only offered in the book, anyway).

I was disappointed that the book didn't have much in the way of timelines, and much key information was "buried" in the text such that I felt the continuous urge to highlight in the book, which I didn't want to do because I intended to sell it when I was finished. Glossaries on artists, artistic movements, musical terms, and architects would have been nice but were absent.

Bottom line: REA's CLEP Humanities book makes an excellent component to your test preparation. The software might be helpful in acclimating yourself to computerized testing if, like me, you've never done it before. Just don't rely on the software to score you correctly. For added security, I recommend using a second preparatory book. Toward the end of my studying, I picked up a 2005 copy of Kaplan's CLEP general exam book, which filled in some gaps for me. It also contains practice tests, and, unlike REA's book, also includes book recommendations for independent study. (But it's not as thorough for review purposes.)

I just took the test today. I scored 78/80. I would likely have passed without studying at all, but it was worth the extra time and money to go in feeling uber-prepared, and to earn a score that will translate to a grade of A.
