In these CLEP English Literature classes, you can get assistance in addressing anything on the exam you're struggling with. When your first CLEP English Literature class begins, a tutor can narrow down your strengths and weaknesses with certain parts of the test. Then, they can use their valuation as a guide for creating lessons that bring benefits to your personal needs. If necessary, a tutor can even change your CLEP English Literature course lesson plans. For example, if you're able to identify British authors by heart, then a tutor can make adjustments so that you can study other subjects like themes and style. What's wonderful about taking a CLEP English Literature course is that it's very flexible, so it doesn't conflict with any other obligations in your life.
In addition to being familiar with certain British writers, you need to know things like literary terms, meanings of works, and symbolism to do your best on the exam. Here's what the test requires in detail:
- Knowledge of:
- Literary background
- Identification of authors
- Metrical patterns
- Literary references
- Literary terms
- Ability to:
- Analyze the elements of form in a literary passage
- Perceive meanings
- Identify tone and mood
- Follow patterns of imagery
- Identify characteristics of style
- Comprehend the reasoning in an excerpt of literary criticism
With a CLEP English Literature prep class, a tutor doesn't only help you with specific portions of the exam, they also assist you with building effective study skills. Is procrastination one of your worst habits? A tutor can try to help you break the habit by giving you time management advice or suggest that you take care of underlying issues that contribute to procrastination such as distancing yourself away from potential distractions. Maybe you're nervous about the test and want to express your worries to someone. They can provide a listening ear as well as offer relaxation tips to attempt to calm your nerves.
Because you're finishing up your high school years and planning to attend college, it's important for you to apply yourself so that you can do your best on the exam. A tutor is able to make your CLEP English Literature prep course a little easier for you to endure by conducting sessions at the pace you desire. Each session takes place via our Live Learning Platform, letting you work with a tutor through your favorite mobile device.
