Good CLEP, Bad CLEP?

    Good CLEP, Bad CLEP?

    Just looking for a little help in deciphering between all the CLEP study guides out there. I am looking to get my associates (on the way to a bachelors) with one 6 credit Humanities CLEP vs. two $900 apiece classes. I don't want to waste time and money with prep courses that don't really help and I am hoping to avoid reading 5 different books to get the information that I need to pass the CLEP. Any reviews or accounts on any CLEP aids that you all have used would be greatly appreciated. Thanks from a Marine Corps veteran trying to move on to the real world.

    I've heard that the Pass Your Class guides are concise and helpful, and you can buy them online as a PDF download if you want instant gratification.
