    Default Last exam tomorrow...

    After 16 exams, I have my last test scheduled for tomorrow morning. This one will be a new experience because there are no specific flashcards for the Social Science and History CLEP.

    I am really winging this one...hopefully it works out.

    I have taken 2 Petersons practice tests and I got 53% correct on both. I am taking the last Petersons and the CLEP practice test today. Any last minute advise? I know most of the economic stuff and I have a good feel for the sociology/psychology part, but the history is killing me and I have no desire to go through all of the history flashcards...

    Anyway...wish me luck...I think that I am gonna need it...

    Default I have a PDF

    I have a PDF for this one, I am not sure where it originally came from. It is mostly Sociology but it does seem t have a good history of the world section that should hit the salient points for you. If you are interested PM me your e-mail

    You will do fine. The history questions are very generic.
