I took the CLEP 6 Credit Accounting last month and failed by 2 points, got a 48. Has anyone took this new Clep 3 Credit Fianancial Accounting, and if so how difficult was it? I am scheduled it take it next week in Florida while I am on vacation.

I haven't taken it, but have you gotten the CLEP official study guide for it?

Thats the first thing I did was download the new Clep guide. I am using it as a guide on what to study for. Hopefully it will lead me in the right direction.

There is also A REA for Financial accounting that would really help

I would imagine the Financial Accounting exam should be easier than the Principles of Accounting exam, as it only covers financial accounting, not managerial accounting.
