CLEP Western Civilization I Practice Test 1

Answer all 90 questions in approximately 68 minutes, a proportional share of the official exam's 90-minute limit for its roughly 120 questions. Every question has one best answer chosen from five options (A--E). Questions are grouped beneath shared stimuli---a paraphrased primary-source excerpt, a data table, a map, a timeline diagram, or a comparison chart---covering the period from the Ancient Near East through the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. Coverage follows the official content weighting: Ancient Near East, 8--10 percent; Ancient Greece and Hellenistic Civilization, 15--17 percent; Ancient Rome, 15--17 percent; Medieval History, 23--27 percent; Renaissance and Reformation, 13--17 percent; and Early Modern Europe (1560--1648), 10--15 percent. All stimuli are constructed for this practice set or explicitly paraphrased from period arguments; no passage is presented as a verbatim historical document. This independently written practice test is not an official CLEP exam form and is not endorsed by or affiliated with the College Board.
