BIBL 104 Liberty Study Notes and Guides
Basic Info:
This exam is worth 4 credits. If you don’t pass, you have to take the course, so make 100% sure
you are ready to test before you sign up. You have about 30 days after registering to take the
exam. I would (peyton here) recommend studying before signing up to take it. That way you
aren’t stressed. When you sign up to take it, you have to sign a waiver type document saying
that you won’t cheat. THIS IS NOT OPEN BOOK!!! You have to know everything! NO notes or
anything. But, the nice thing is there is no proctoring. You sign up to take it and then you take it
when you are ready. I found it a very nice way of testing (I already took THEO 104.). For this
exam, here are links to study information. I can’t personally vouch for everything, but it’s always
nice to have too many resources than too few.

If you don’t have the forums, here is what they say:
“Definitely check out the Quizlet sets made by people who took the real class! (e.g. if you are taking
BIBL 104, search Quizlet for that class name.) Some of them will have errors, but if you go through
enough of them, you can figure out which are wrong.
Read through the books and take notes. If you look at the Course Guides4 for the class, they have a
list of the books that are typically used in the class and that will match the material. If it was an
e-Textbook, I typically did not use it unless it was reasonably priced (which most aren't) or the only
book listed. I typically used about 1-2 books per exam.
Also, there are plenty of T/F questions compared to multiple choice like in CLEPs. It does take some
adjustment coming off of multiple choice, so make sure you know the material.
