    Default Pointers on taking the clep exams

    I'm taking my first 2 clep exams next Friday. The subjects I'm taking them on is principles of management and introductory psychology. I'm going to cram hard for 7 days and hopefully pass both with flying colors. What do I need to do to successfully prepare myself to pass both tests?
    Thanks

    Principles of Management is a lot of common sense (even for me. i'm young and inexperienced, especially in the business field). I used just the instacert to study with, then took a practice test or two, and did great! Psychology has a few more terminology, names, etc that have to be learned. I used both instacert and the REA study guide. I took a practice test for that as well and did really well. They're both fairly simple tests.

    Always take practice tests when you can. Petersons.com has practice tests for both of these exams. I'd suggest using those to gage your knowledge. You want to score at least 50% to be safe. I myself won't take a CLEP until I get at least 60% on them, but I like to be sure.

    I took the Principles of Management a couple months ago and that was a fairly simple test. If you know the IC questions you will do well.

    I also took two petersons practice tests and got 66% and 65%. What I've seen from many other posts is that you will most likely get a few points below your percentage on the Petersons. I got 66/65% on the Petersons, and I scored a 63 on the actual test.

    Again, if you know the IC flashcards, you will do great!
