Free Downloads Cracking The CLEP, 5th Edition (College Test Preparation)
Acing the CLEP is very different from getting straight A's in school, so The Princeton Review doesn't try to teach you everything there is to know about every subject -- only the techniques that you need to score higher on the CLEP. Cracking the CLEP focuses on the most popular CLEP subject tests, including English Composition, College Mathematics, Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences. This fully updated edition of Cracking the CLEP also includes 5 full-length sample exams. The questions on these tests are exactly like those on real CLEP exams, and there are complete explanations for every solution in the book. Cracking the CLEP, 5th Edition will teach you how to- Eliminate answer choices that look right but are planted to fool you- Avoid the tricky Restructuring Sentences and Analyzing Writing questions on the English exam- Tackle the Humanities exam by using clues in the questions- Crack the algebra problems by "plugging in" numbers in place of letters- Ace the Social and Natural Science exams by tailoring your review to the tests

I have just completed two CLEP test's and used this study guide for both. I had multitudes of study information and this one was by far the best resource. It is composed mostly of tests and practice tests. Their are explanations for the answers which not only helps with that question but also other questions that you may see on the test. I studied for one week prior for the Arts and Humanities, and a week prior for the Social Sciences and History and passed both of them. Warning these are very hard tests so all the study guides that you can get your hands on will help you pass.
I purchased this book a while ago, and I have to say the money was well worth it. In addition to Cracking the CLEP I have been using InstantCert.com for months, and have been really happy with it so far. I've passed 4 CLEP tests, and it has been my primary source for study information. It's definately worth checking out. They even have a money back guarantee in case you aren't satisfied with it!As soon as you're registered, I would also highly recommend to use the forums for exam-specific feedback. Oh yeah, and you can use the coupon code "66026" to get $5 off your first month's access fee. Good luck to all my fellow CLEPsters out there!
I think this is a very good book to use for CLEP preparation. I already owned the 4th edition and thought I could benefit from getting the latest edition. Not true! They are the same book just repackaged with a different cover. This is something that really burns me. As a college student I get burned nearly every semester with not being able to sell back books because a "new edition" is coming out. Then you find out that essentially only the cover is changed and not the book's content. There ought to be a law against such things. I'm done ranting, end soapbox mode.Aside from this issue, I think this is a pretty good book to use for preparing for CLEP testing. It gives good insight into what you need to study for a test. It also gives insight into what you don't need to know. That's very beneficial. It keeps you from learning unnecessary information. Many of the test taking tips are very helpful for any test you may be taking.
If you want to buy a book that actually contains study materials don't buy this book. This books has a general description of each test with 3 or 4 pages of content, the rest is all tests with explanations, which doesn't really help much in the study part but its good after you study to see where you are.
I always find the princeton review books a big waste of money( I tried them for GMAT as well). They give only generic tricks about attempting CLEP exams. If you are still inquisitive about this book, I strongly suggest checking it out in a public library first. You will see what I mean. Spend your money on a REA book instead. Their practice CDs are really invaluable.
took the natural science clep last night and is was murder, very complicated and much deeper then i though it would be. this book has a great prective test with great explenations for each right and wrong answer and i knew it all cold, problom is half of the questions on the actual test were not even mentioned in this book. tnk g-d i got a 55 but i literally guessed 20-25 questions and i studied hard for 3 weeks not just with this book but with tons of online materielthis is a very very hard test so good luck all
thought there would be actual topics to study, there is not. it just gives you an idea of what to expect.
This book provided good information to supplement the individual subject books. There was nice background information on how the test is set up, scored, etc..
