Mastering Multiple-Choice Questions

Tackle the Test With Confidence

Multiple-choice questions are the heart of the CLEP US History I exam. Read each question carefully, eliminate obviously wrong answers, and look for clues in the wording. If stuck, make your best guess—there’s no penalty for guessing!

Practice with sample questions to get comfortable with the format.

Examples
