Hey all. Been lurking (thanks for the help), but not posted before today. My question is on the above CLEP which i can find very little info on here. I have been using Petersen's General CLEP exams book, and getting roughly 75% on the practive exams, and roughly 60% on IC. In your opinion, which is closer to actual CLEP content, and would I, based on the practice scores, be OK to take and pass?

Secondly, any areas of particular focus? I find the History and Civics questions remedial, but struggle a bit with Sociology, particularly psychology.

Thanks for your help!!!

IC does not have a SS & History section. However, if I go to the Air Force site (which is REALLY hard), I get 50-60%. Which is more accurate... The Air Force site, or the Petersen's exam book?

Peterson's hands down.

To answer the first post, this exam isn't heavy on Sociology or Pyschology. It's mostly on history and how to interpret information given. I have taken this ICE COLD and scored well. I think I have left feedback for this exam, if not, PM me.

Just a follow up....

I took SS&H today with very little studying. I decided to just take it based on the pre-test in the book. I scored a 67.

2.5 credits to go.....

Took this test today and passed. Could have done better the site I am using for testing (only one that I can get scheduled at in my city) has a bunch of students talking, fax machine going, doors opening and closing right next to test computer not to mention the copier going. Good God help. Somehow thanks to all the wonderful suggestions that was offered by everyone here I still managed to pass. Thanks again.

Is that book the same as the Cracking the Clep book?

What lies before us and what lies behind us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Cracking the CLEP is from Princeton Review, not Peterson's.
