CLEP Social Sciences and History Examination Guide

​​The Social Sciences and History examination covers the following subjects: United States History, Western Civilization, World History, Economics, Geography, and Political Science. While the exam is based on no specific course, its content is drawn from introductory college courses in these subjects. The primary objective of the exam is to give candidates the opportunity to demonstrate that they possess the level of knowledge and understanding expected of college students who meet a distribution or general education requirement in the social sciences/history areas. 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.​
