You may remember that we are planning to take a CLEP approach to homeschool high school. Originally, I started working with my 15 year old son, who passed the Analyzing and Interpreting Literature Exam, and before long my 13 year old wanted in on the fun.
We are now getting ready to take the History 1 Exam because my kids have a great grasp on history thanks to their Fine Arts and History program at Artios Academies.
I had them use Hippocampus.com to watch the history videos and take the quizzes. My daughter finished ahead of schedule so I had her take the short (65) question exam from the large blue College Board CLEP book. She did exceedingly well, answering 2/3 of the questions right when you need to answer 50% right to pass the test. Her unofficial score was equivalent to a B in a college level class! She hasn't even started using the recommended REA test prep book yet. My kids will take the test in about 2 weeks, giving them time for more review and practice tests.
