Social Sciences and History CLEP Test

The Social Sciences and History CLEP Test covers the material that is taught in a two-semester class at the 101 college level with any combination of the following names/subjects: United States history, Western civilization, world history, government, political science, geography, economics, sociology, psychology, and anthropology.

This exam covers a wide variety of information and areas of study. Because of the broad scope, this may be one of the more difficult CLEP tests to study for. As with all CLEP tests, the student must demonstrate that they have the same knowledge and ability as a student who has passed this same type of class.

By the way, my husband passed the Social Science History CLEP test. I hope he
does the same with the Natural Sciences test. - Barbara :) 1/23/06

I just wanted to drop you guys a line and tell you that I passed my final CLEP exam last Monday which gives me all of the credits I need to graduate. I have taken 30 credits worth of CLEP exams and I’ve passed them all by using your study guides. I actually purchased one of your study guides and failed my first test. I didn’t fail because of your guide though, I failed because I didn’t manage my time effectively and I ran short. I looked at your study guide after failing though, and a lot of the information on your study guide was very relevant to what was on the test. So, I tried again with a different test and a different study guide of yours. I passed. This pattern continues for 30 credits. I graduate on June 9th thanks to you guys, so I wanted to say thank you. The guides were worth every penny. Thanks, -John S 5/21/07
