This is among the various CLEP exams that are administered by the College Board as a means of testing people's knowledge in relevant fields. Due to the fact that about three thousand colleges give credit for the English Literature Exam, many of those who would like to go to college like to take it. When you pass, you will skip some introductory lessons as you join college.

The English Literature exam covers a number of topics, which you need to be knowledgeable in. These include:

* 60%-65% - Follow imagery patterns, identifying characteristics of style, and the comprehension of reasoning of literary criticism excerpts; analyzing form elements, perceive meanings, identifying mood and tone.

* 35%-45% - Knowledge of significant authors, literary background, literary references, literary terms, and metrical patterns.

There are 95 questions with multiple choices in the English Literature exam that have to be answered in one hour and a half. Some institutions may also ask for an essay section that they will grade themselves, which is optional. In this section, you will be required to cover two themes within ninety minutes.

Unofficial score report is issued after the exam, which is graded from 20-80. According to the American Council on Education, you need to get at least 50 in order to get credit. The total score is calculated from the number of correct answers that are adjusted in line with the exam's difficulty.

It is recommended that you answer all questions since unanswered questions are treated as incorrect ones, and there are some pre-test questions that are not added to the total score. Such questions are used to set future exams.
