The Analyzing and Interpreting Literature course covers material learned in a one-semester college course. The course will increase the student’s ability to understand and analyze a broad range of historical writings in poetry, drama, fiction, and nonfiction taken from the Classical through modern eras. The course will provide texts over which the student will answer questions. Earlier experience with the texts is not required. Students will need to have a basic understanding of literary terminology. The texts will be primarily drawn from British and American literature. Deep knowledge of authors and historical literary movements is not required.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”24852″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

CLEP™ Exam – 3 Credit Hours

[/vc_message][vc_column_text]The exam contains approximately 80 multiple choice questions to be answered in 90 minutes. Some of these are pretest questions that will not be scored. The College Board provides the parameters for the exam which we have listed below.

* An optional essay section can be taken in addition to the multiple-choice section; however, SpeedyPrep cannot at this time prepare the student for the essay, but will prepare the student for the multiple-choice exam section.
