 CD assistance with REA ( melissafurlong )
I bought this brand new off Amazon. The CD was BLANK, it had no files or program on it. When I called REA, they said they would send me another disk, which they never did.

 Good study guide
How do you cover American History from the late 1400's to 1877 in about 120 pages? It's not possible to cover it all, and this book doesn't do that. But it does cover the high points and many items that are important in passing the CLEP exam. Much of the material covered was on the version of the CLEP that I got, and the material was covered in concise form.
The only complaint I have about this book is that the language is sometimes difficult and laborious to read. I guess I would classify it as "poor sentence structure." However, the material is there, and if you take your time reading it, you should get out of it what you need.
The tests on the accompanying CD were probably the best thing about this book. They are spot on as far as being similar to the material you should see on the real CLEP, and the format is similar enough that you will feel right at home when you take the real thing.
This book and the CD were my best weapon in passing this exam.

Perfect groundwork for an easy A
For my RN-MSN program I needed to take 2 history courses ASAP. I had no desire to waste time sitting in a class room so I decided to try the CLEP exams. I took the US History exam yesterday. To be able to look at each test question and think " My gosh I know this" is a great feeling.
This book was the basis of my preparation; used in conjunction with Barons EZ 101 American History to 1877 and America A Narrative History. The REA CLEP book covered some topics in more depth than others but when used with the other references , I was more than prepared. The best part of this book is the practice exams and the answer explanations. Some of the practice questions were on my actual CLEP exam word for word others were rephrased but still strongly resembled the practice questions . This book is worth every penny and I have already purchased the REA CLEP book for the Western Civilization test that I will take in 4 weeks. When time is of the essence, you will find this book to be an excellent investment in your success.

 CLEP History of the United States I w/CD ( ken49731 )
CD helped a lot. The real test was a little harder than the practice test but did pass.

3 Credits!
I'm a college student who takes CLEP tests to get general education requirements out of the way. REA makes good products; I passed with a 69. Definitely worth buying, but make sure you take advantage of other resources in addition to this book.
