Over the last few years I have taken a number of Cleps.  I started by using my public library and my old high school books.  I was able to do very well on the Clep exams using this method.  The problem was that it was very time consuming.  Thus I started researching review books. 

I went onto amazon and purchased about 10 different books that had been highly recommended.  Out of all the books and methods I tried, by far the REA books were the best.  REA, Research & Education Association's series of review books are inexpensive and concise.  Out of all the review books I had tried, they were the only ones that could be used alone and pass!  All the information was packed in a very condensed notes chapter.  Also, the practice exams were excellent. 

Most of the books in this series offer a CD ROM with practice tests for a few bucks more.  Buy it!  This is the best preparation you'll find for the now computer based Clep Exams.  I believe I purchased them for about $20 each with CDs.

I would recommend giving yourself a week or two, studying one of these books an hour per day and you should have no trouble passing the exam.  It is by far the best method I have found to passing the Clep.  I'm now on my 7th test having passed each one the first time.

Hope this helps and good luck on the test!  ~Justin
