Books to Read for the Social Sciences and History CLEP

Books for Your Shelf
CLEP Official Study Guide 2014is by far my favorite resource I have on my shelf. It has the breakdown and official practice test for every CLEP exam. I highly recommend that you add this to your shelf before you take any tests. 5 out of 5 stars.
CLEP Social Sciences and History. REA is my “go to” resource for every CLEP exam. My shelf is covered with yellow and purple books and I just love their style. Each guide covers the basics of every topic you need to study. If you already know it, the guide serves as a review. If you don’t know it, the guide is a great place to get started! Practice tests are online or on CD. 5 out of 5 stars.
The Princeton Review Cracking The Clep. Princeton Review was the only test material I used for the ACT, and I loved their book. I was thrilled to learn they had written a CLEP prep book. The bad news is it only covers the General Five CLEPs, but the good news is, Social Sciences is one of those General Five! So I highly recommend Princeton Review for this test. I love their teaching style, and they have a great practice test for each exam. 5 out of 5 stars.
The Story of the World: Volume 4 The Story of the World Series has been on our shelves for years – for use as our homeschool curriculum. But when I started studying for this test, and needed a broad and sweeping view of world history from beginning to current times, I pulled out our Story of the World books. There are five books in the series, and I most highly recommend the last two, but the other three are very useful.
All American History Volume 2. And, since American History is such a huge part of this test, you need a good American history resource. Once again I went to our homeschool room and raided the bookshelves. I loved these books when I went through high school, and once again they were the perfect book. Because of the great concentration on later American history, I strongly recommend the second book, but I find the first to be just as good: All American History, Volume 1.
