The CLEP Humanities exam is worth 6 college credits and tests a student's knowledge of literature, art, music, and architecture. This is a very broad exam consisting of 120 questions that need to be answered in 90 minutes.

All the questions are multiple choice and some incorporate visual elements, like works of art from various historic periods or drawings of ancient architecture from Rome and Greece.

Since this particular CLEP exam covers so many topics, most questions will be very general. For the art questions for instance, be familiar with the general characteristics of artistic periods: know the traits of baroque, neo-classical, and impressionism, to name a few. Questions on architecture will also focus on general features of buildings from broad historical periods.
