If you are knowledgeable about the literature of the United States, the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) Exam in American Literature can help you translate your subject mastery into college credit. It can even help you avoid taking a course that teaches material you have already mastered, giving you credit for lower-division prerequisites and allowing you into more advanced classes. Scoring well on this test allows you to receive credit for a two-semester American literature survey at certain colleges and universities.
The exam tests a great variety of detailed content, asking questions that assess your ability to recognize and analyze works of American poetry and prose (and some drama and nonfiction) from the colonial period to the present day. Questions about your understanding of the socio-historical contexts of these works and your mastery of vocabulary specific to literary analysis can also appear on the test. The exam can quickly become overwhelming due to the breadth and depth of subject matter with which it expects students to be familiar.
Studying for the test can be an equally imposing process, especially since self identifying your strengths and weaknesses and designing an appropriate study plan on your own can both be difficult endeavors. There are a lot of different study methods out there, but it can be difficult to figure out which ones are the most effective based on your personal learning style.
