Scored a 68! I couldn’t believe I scored that well; I was pretty much sure I’d failed.
Lots of semi-educated guess-work on this one. However, there were also several analyzing and interpreting sections (go figure! I LOVED it!), and bits about various literary movements. “Beat generation”, “Lost Generation”, Grapes of Wrath, The Souls of Black Folk, and Feminine Mystique, etc. I haven’t entirely forgotten what I learned from studying for American Literature. There were a good many questions on movements. There were a TON of questions on civil rights, but again, I expected that. The Depression was focused on for a bit, as was WWI, WWII, and the Vietnam war. Korean War and Spanish-American War got about 1 question each, I think. Environmental concerns focused on for a question or two. I don’t remember any questions about much after 1980.
I used primarily InstantCert, REA, Wikipedia, and various videos and lectures to study for this one (oh, the same goes for US I in the previous post.). InstantCert helped the most. It was a good bit harder than US I, but I still had about 40 minutes left. I sure am glad this one’s done!
Next up: Social Sciences and History.

Out of curiosity (I’ve never done anything like CLEP tests at all) is there much politically correct history in the tests?

It’s all politically correct, I’d say. That’s part of what I had to learn when I started taking CLEPs: leave the worldview at the door and pick it back up when you come out.
There have been a few questions when one answer was what I thought or believed, but I didn’t choose it because I knew what the test-creators were looking for. Kinda maddening, but hey! It’s cheap college credit. 🙂

Yeah, I guess you’re right about the cheap college credit. What are you planning on majoring in?

That would drive me crazy!!!!!!!
Oh well, guess you’re right about the cheap college credit. What are you planning on majoring in?

Yep, it’s rather annoying, but as long as I don’t buy it, I reckon it’s okay.
Right now I’m working on a BA in History from Thomas Edison. Don’t know if I’ll actually make it all the way to the degree; life happens, you know. Still, I figured it’s good to have a goal. 🙂
BTW, found all these in the spam filter. I have no idea why it suddenly decided to catch your comments.

Sorry about that! 😦
I typed it up the first time and it didn’t post so i figured your site was down and typed it up a few more times.
So next time that happens, I won’t keep typing it! 🙂
That’s awesome about the history degree. I reckon that’s what I would do if I were going to college.
