One Review For “CLEP”

1. Howard F. Says:
   

   The history exams fit into the two miles wide and two feet deep club. A lot of information to cover but not too much specific details about any one particular topic.

   People and events. That is the theme here. For History I follow the official College Board recommendations:

   * The character of Colonial society
   * British relations with the Atlantic colonies in North America
   * The motivations and character of American expansionism
   * The content of the Constitution and its amendments, and their interpretation by the Supreme Court
   * The growth of political parties
   * The changing role of government in American life
   * The intellectual and political expressions of nationalism
   * Agrarianism, abolitionism, and other such movements
   * Long-term demographic trends
   * The process of economic growth and development
   * The origins and nature of Black slavery in America
   * Immigration and the history of racial and ethnic minorities
   * The causes and impacts of major wars in American history
   * Major movements and individual figures in the history of American arts and letters
   * Major movements and individual figures in the history of women and the family

   For History II (subtitled 1865 to the Present) there wasn’t that much “present” covered. InstantCert Academy does a great job covering these exams and should be all you need to pass. I would also recommend taking a few practice tests.
