Summary: "Possession"
Comment: Lynne Ewing's book, "Possession", is a captivating and interesting novel about a small group of girls with special powers who live in central California. The main idea Ewing stresses within "Possession" is the importance of friendship and trust between yourself and others. She refers to this idea throughout the book and uses a variety of techniques to tell the story and aid her unique style of writing. One technique she uses is the allusion to the Greek goddess of the night, Selene. This goddess protected Greek mortals from darkness and evil through turmoil and times of sadness. Two other devices Ewing uses is imagery and metaphorical expressions, both of these devices add to the whole appeal and flow of the story, which makes her book an easy, and enjoyable read for the teenage level.

Summary: You need this book
Comment: This review is for those of us who have little or no knowledge in the test subjects, but need to pass the Clep in a hurry.

I used this book to pass the: Natural Sciences, Social Sciences and History, and English Comp w/essay tests. I took all tests from May 2002 - July 2002 (computerized versions.)

The clep tests are generalized tests. You need to know a little bit about a lot. The greatest strength of this book as well as it's companion book, The Best Test Preparation for Clep, it that it exposes the reader to a diverse area of knowledge that is likely to be on the test. While the actual questions on the real tests do not match the ones in any study book, the concepts do match. Learn enough general concepts, pass the tests!

If you use this book, the companion book, Cracking the Clep, and the Comex series books for your review, you will be exposed to enough concepts and ideas to pass the test. If you have no prior knowledge (or little knowledge), you should use all four books. They cover slightly different areas. But together they give a good, well rounded exposure to test question criteria.

I had no clue about Natural Sciences and Social Science and History before I started studying. I have been out of school for
22 years. However, after simply reading these books and taking the practice tests, I scored in the 94th Percentile in Natural Sciences and 98th percentile in Social Science and History.

(A passing score is somewhere about the 61th percentile, which requires approximately only 50% of the questions to be answered correctly.)

If you are clueless as I was, buy this book and the other three above. You should have no problem passing the tests.

Summary: Review questions have little similarity to test --
Comment: I used this book along with the companion book which had 360 practice questions ( filled with errors). I studied long and hard with these materials and the actual test differed greatly. I would recommend using these books as a slim refresher only. They are NOT worth the money nor the time in study ( you will be studying VERY general theory). However, most REA subject test booklets are excellent! I dont know why this edition is lacking. If you are about to take the test I would recommend purchasing "Cracking The Clep" as a reference of what to study. College Textbooks, internet, Cliff Notes, all of which are better resources than the clep review. Good Luck!
