 Not what I expected May 9, 2008

The College Board CLEP Official Study Guide, 19th Edition (Clep Official Study Guide) (Purchased on 04/07/2008)
I expected a much more comprehensive study guide. I should have bought the subject specific study guide. My fault for believing all the hype of the advertizement. I am sure I would have been much happier with the CLEP study guide for Biology as I wanted for my son.
 CLEP official study guide - the best test prep resource February 14, 2008

If you plan to take CLEP tests to receive college credit for material you are already somewhat familiar with or can study on your own, this is THE book to use. With this book, I was able to earn over 54 semester credit hours in less than four months. These credits transferred directly to the college I was attending and I was able to complete my degree four semesters earlier than I would have otherwise. This book has study guides and sample tests for ALL of the CLEP tests available.
There are other CLEP review materials out there that cost more and don't cover as much ground. I tried them too and they were a waste of my time.
Bottom line: Stick with the study guide published by the people who write and grade the CLEP examinations.
Study Guide??? I don't think so. February 8, 2008

This book calls its self a study guide, but it is really just a collection of pre tests. It can give you a quick and easy idea if you should put the money out to take a full test. After having tried 2 of the tests for the sections that I was thinking about taking the tests for, one made me feel like it was worth taking the test, and the other section made me feel like the money I spent on this book saved me from wasting money and time on taking the second test. As far as the Study guide part, the first 25 pages are the general guidelines for any type of test, relax, look for key words, etcetera. They then have lots of examination guides, one for each test, and an answer key. The only help they give you for each test, is to suggest that you study from a good college text, and check to see that the text covers all of the topics listed for that test. Is it worth buying? I think if you are considering taking more than one test, it is. P.S. If you're reading this, good luck on your tests.
Better exam books out there February 5, 2008

These official guides are never the best but are usually where people start on finding out about college exams. The best book I found can be downloaded off the getyourcollegedegree website and not only gives information on CLEP but also how to get almost your entire degree using exams. I have accumulated over 63 credits myself.

This book did not live up to my expectations. I felt it contained errors. I would have been good for it to include proofs/rules/logic applied for the answers. It was a clep guide, but I could not consider it very official.
