CLEP American Government Examination Guide

The American Government exam covers material that is usually taught in a one-semester introductory course in American Government and politics at the college level. It emphasizes national government and includes topics such as the institutions and policy processes of the federal government, the federal courts and civil liberties, political parties and interest groups, political beliefs and behavior, and the content and history of the Constitution. The exam is 90 minutes long and includes approximately 100 questions. This examination guide contains a complete exam description, including knowledge and skills required, sample questions and answers, test-taking strategies, scoring information, and study resources. Please note that the examination guides contain the same content that appears in the CLEP Official Study Guide. In other words, if you have already purchased the book, there is no additional information to be gained by also purchasing the exam guide in a particular subject.
