  Very Helpful!

I used this book to study for the English Composition CLEP test, and the test was exactly how the book said it would be! This book reviews basic grammar and the types of questions that are going to be asked. It is very down-to-earth, and yes, even quite humorous.

I also passed the Freshman College Composition CLEP test with a 60, and I barely looked over this book before taking it! If you take the English Comp test and do well on it, then take the Freshman College Composition!

Now I just need to find more CLEP study guides to pass particular subject exams...

 
  the clep in itself

I bought this book on a whim....when it came down to test taking time, I read over the chapters I needed and any problems I couldn't understand, there was a simple and easy to read understanding of how to solve the problem. After taking the College Mathematics Clep, I would encourage anyone to take it and also buy this book. It was just as if I was going over the book again when I took the test.
 
  The best clep book ever

This book has helped me in passing the college mathematics exam. I did not understand college math until I read this book. In the book the techniques that they show you to use are very comprehensive, and that is considered a plus for myself since I've never attended college or high school.
 
  BEST CLEP STUDY GUIDE

Of all the General Exam study guides I've purchased, this was the most useful. The subject reviews were detailed, but comprehensive. The explanations of ALL the answers of the sample tests, both right and wrong were extremely helpful because they taught me how to "logic" through the choices.
 
  Test taking tips alone are worth the price!

I used this book as my only review for the College Math CLEP exam. While I am confident I could have passed the exam without the book, this book served as an excellent refresher for math concepts I havent used in over 10 years.

You will be tempted to just dive right into the "meat" of this book, but as the author advises DONT DO IT. Yes, you should actually read the first two chapters that focus on test taking techniques and tips. I consider myself a vetran test taker, having past numerous technical certification tests in the past. However, it had never occured to me to use some of the simple techniques they offer to keep myself from making stupid mistakes. I estimate that by using their techniques, I "saved" myself from missing at least 4 of the 60 questions on the exam. The same tips also helped me to avoid having to do the "real" algebra to arrive at the right answer; probably saving me 10 minutes or more of time during the exam.

Summary: Using this book and the recommended techniques in the book, I passed the College Math CLEP with a 77 out of 80. Had I not used this book, I believe I would have scored somewhere around 68-70.
