Too many errors
In the English Composition preparation section, there are four practice tests to help you. The problem is that there are too many errors in the practice test questions. One answer tells you that "colonies" should be singular to agree with the singular verb, but the verb is plural in the question. Another answer tells you that "they" should be singular, but there is no "they" in the question. Also many of the sentences which Barron says are correct are poorly written and often lack proper punctuation. One run on sentence was called a dangling modifier. It is quite frustrating, to say the least.
Some helpful info; many mistakes
I actually picked this book up at the library for some early prep for a state subject-specific test I'll eventually have to take (not for the CLEP).However, while I know this is harder than anything I'll have to take, the questions are definitely difficult and cover all the different aspects (I was focusing on the social science area).However, there are many erros in the answer key.The detailed answer is correct but the letter corresponding to it may not be.My favorite question was: High Marks for a good review book
I needed a review book for the math CLEP. One of my friends recommended the Barrons CLEP review book.It turned out to be a very good recommendation.The types of questions in the book were almost identical to the types of questions on the test.There were no surprises, no types of examples or problems I had never seen before.Even the percentage breakdown the book described of the various problems was pretty accurate. There were 60 questions on each of the three practice exams in the book plus the book provided an additional trial examination. Plenty of practice that allowed me to sharpen my question/answer skills. I didn't notice any typo's in the answer part. The book also gives a brief explanation of each answer.This is where I though the review book was a little shallow. When I was familiar with the material, the explanation of the answer was fine. When I need more depth in the answer, the review book didn't have it. Well, it's a review book, not a text book so I did not lower my rating. Needless to say, I had a scale score equal to an 'A' on a 6 credit CLEP College math test. ... Read more

an excellent overview
A good summary of tactics, this book does not go into the detail of some other texts (see Norman's book) but provides a street level view of what you need when you need it.It keeps it simple, and when the situation is really bad, simple is what you will remember.

Very Informative, Easy to Read
Must have for the entry level ff to chief, provides a practical, experienced based no-nonsense review of ff tactics and strategies.

Great Gift!!!!!

If you are interested in Leadership, Inspiration and Transformation READ THIS BOOK
This book gave me a sense of clarity regarding my own values and beliefs when it comes to creating and sustaining learning relationships with others.It also lit a fire in my heart for the work...the work of developing learning and instruction in ways that are truly empowering of others.It was a jolt of energy in my own life journey.I'm humbled and grateful to have been introduced to the ideas and life of Mr. Horton - as well as the story of the Highlander learning community.Social change will always be a natural outcome of true learning and instruction in a world that confirms its being alive through the ever-changing, interdependent evolution of its cultural soceity.Change is good.

A fairy tale
This is more propoganda.Checkout the FBI's research first.
an inspiring memoir of struggle
This is a wonderful, engaging narrative of a life devoted to the struggle for justice, peace and freedom. In plain language, with humility, wit, and vigor, Horton recounts experiences, insights, and anecdotes gathered in his many years as an organizer and popular educator with the Highlander folk school in Tennessee, from the industrial union drives in the 30s, through the civil rights movement, and beyond. The book positively glows with Horton's courage, compassion, and intelligence. ... Read more
