Selecting A Clep Study Guide

By:


For any and all CLEP testing needs, a variety of study resources are available. Students wishing to enhance the quality of their CLEP study practices can benefit greatly by selecting the resource that best meets their needs. Understanding the differences between the CLEP study guide materials is an important step in selecting the right one.

CLEP study options

CLEP study guides are available in three different formats, one is software-based and two are text-based formats. In some cases, using a combination of formats is an effective means to comprehensively prepare for CLEP testing. Knowing what is offered by each simplifies discovering how to best use the CLEP study guides.

Sampler Software Students can reproduce the CLEP exam testing environment by using downloadable software available at the College Board website. In addition to demo questions, students can become familiar with the actual testing format and better understand what to expect.

While the demo software can be a helpful supplement for any student, those who have not sat for any CLEP exams, in particular, will find it a useful tool. Beyond the material covered, some students feel the familiarity gained from this practice environment helps lesson testing anxiety.

Comprehensive CLEP study guide This text contains information, sample questions and study tips for 35 CLEP exams. As the name implies, this guide includes full preparation materials for every testing situation.

Students planning to sit for more than one CLEP exam, especially, can benefit from this text. Those who have never taken the test before will also find the wealth of information it contains to be helpful.

Subject-specific study guides These texts are smaller versions of the comprehensive guide. Versions of the subject-specific guides are available for each of the CLEP exams. The same practice material, study tips and sample questions contained in the comprehensive version are included in the subject guides.

Students planning to only take one test will benefit most from these guides. Those already familiar with the exam format would also do well with this text.
No matter the testing need or level of familiarity with exam format, the variety of CLEP study materials available is very beneficial to students. Whether one resource alone is used or the materials are used in combination, students can tailor their study routine to fit their specific needs.
