Also be sure you have the current CLEP official study guide. It's $20 and has all the practice exams and official break down of what is covered. You'll be able to use it for all of your exams.

Here is my only caution- if you fail an exam, you have to wait 6 months to retake it. An extra week spent might be all that is necessary to earn a pass. Whoever told you that you need 90-95% correct is wrong- it's a scaled score of 50 or better. There is no benefit to earning 95% on the exam- it's pass/fail.

There is a lot of strategy in testing, searching here is a great tool to help you plan! Good Luck!
