Are you searching for CLEP English Literature test prep? Then, consider reaching out to Varsity Tutors. We provide excellent CLEP English Literature prep services to assist pupils in feeling prepared for the test. CLEP is an acronym for the College Level Examination Program, which offers 33 tests related to introductory college-level coursework. Earning a passing score on just one test can earn you college credit for courses at several colleges. If you think that you can benefit from CLEP English Literature tutoring, please contact us for more information about CLEP English Literature test prep programs.
The English Literature Exam involves material you'll expect in a university-level British literature course. While it usually features well-known authors like Shakespeare and Dickens, it includes lesser-known ones as well. The test also covers common literary words you're expected to know like simile, personification, and foreshadowing.
When beginning a CLEP English Literature prep program, you need to know what to expect on the test. Here's what you'll need to prepare for:
Knowledge and Skills Required:
- The exam deals with literature from Beowulf to the present.
- Familiarity with and understanding of major writers is expected, as is knowledge of literary periods and common literary terms, themes, and forms
- Some of the questions on the exam ask test takers to identify the author of a representative quotation or to recognize the period in which an excerpt was written.
With a Varsity Tutors CLEP English Literature course, you can build study skills that would come in handy upon entering college and beyond. Each CLEP English Literature test prep program is conducted by a tutor who's fluent in the subject of British English Literature. Therefore, they can help you try to comprehend anything you're struggling with.
You reap several benefits by taking CLEP English Literature courses. One of those benefits includes customized CLEP English Literature prep sessions that focus on your specific needs. What's great about private lessons is that there's not a specific CLEP English Literature preparation curriculum you have to adhere to. For example, if you need to work on understanding literary styles, a CLEP English Literature test preparation tutor is more than happy to provide as much time necessary to assist you with that subject. These CLEP English Literature tutors can also create lessons in a way that caters to your learning style such as reading a passage to you if you learn better by hearing something.
The test contains 95 questions along with an optional essay section. It has a time limit of 90 minutes. Below are examples of test questions you may receive:
Practice Questions:
- Choose the analogy that best matches the example provided. DRIP : GUSH
- DENT : DESTROY
- CURL : ROLL
- STREAM : TRIBUTARY
- CRY : LAUGH
- BEND : ANGLE
- Choose the analogy that best matches the example provided. WALK : LEGS
- GLEAM : EYES
- COVER : BOOK
- GRIND : NOSE
- DRESS : HEM
- CHEW : MOUTH
You can get hands-on experience with the test by taking practice exams in your CLEP English Literature class. This method not only reduces surprises; it has a higher chance of decreasing any test jitters you may possess.
As a college-bound high school student, it's important for you to set aside as much time as possible for you to focus on your studies in your CLEP English Literature classes. A tutor can make sure that you manage your time well by working at your side and keeping track of how you use your study hours. A major bonus about CLEP English Literature prep sessions is that they take place online, so you can speak with a tutor from the comfort of home or at a public space with Internet access. If you want to know more about how a CLEP English Literature test prep program can help you, contact a Varsity Tutors educational consultant today.

Robert: CLEP English Literature test prep instructor
Emerson said that the secret of education is respecting the student. I have the greatest respect for that part of the human spirit that is curious and wants to learn. I find that if students feel they are listened to and heard, this allows them to feel encouraged. When they begin to understand that learning can be fun, the whole process becomes exciting and joyful. We are all curious and like to learn.
