HELP - Need an answer ASAP (by today) about this exam...?

Test Preparation

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I was wondering if studying AP US Government and Politics was enough for the CLEP Exam on American Government.</p>

<p>You see, I bought the book "CLEP: American Government" (publisher REA) a few weeks ago but while studying out of that, everything seemed too simple. I looked online and realized that the book had very bad reviews from virtually everyone that the book does not prepare one for the CLEP exam at all.</p>

<p>My CLEP exam is scheduled in a week, but it's a week of summer so I have a somewhat-decent amount of time to study if I really work it hard. Will getting the AP US Gov/Politics book from a nearby Barnes&Noble suffice?</p>

<p>*edit: Instead of that, what about the CLEP® American Government Exam Guide (electronic format) by College Board? Does anyone know the efficacy of this guide towards the end goal of passing the CLEP exam?</p>

<p>Thank you soooooo much.... just need an answer soon since my dad is about to go to Barnes in an hour or so, and I don't know when we'll be stopping by there again (but hopefully soon). Thank you soo so so much!</p>

<p>Wouldn’t hurt to pick up the Princeton Review AP U.S. Government review book. I treated that like my bible before the AP test for a weekend and it got me a 5. There is a good deal of information in it and it is well organized.</p>

<p>Yeah, but I don’t know if that will effectively correspond to the material on the CLEP exam…</p>

<p>…any more advice anyone?</p>

<p>The CLEP exam shouldn’t be too different from the AP content wise though. CLEP exams are just like multiple choice only forms of the AP test. If you need the CLEP in the title for assurance then go with the online class. That class would definitely give you the info you need.</p>
