    Default Peterson's tests result: Intro Psychology

    Hey everyone,

    My clep is tomorrow I have been studying for Intro to Psychology for approximately 2 weeks. I have studied the Instacert, read the REA book, and have taken one Peterson's Practice Exam today. (the day before the test) I only got a 43 on that exam...I am a little dissappointed and nervous about taking it tomorrow!! What do you all think? Thanks!

    Petersons exams are typically harder than the real thing so you may not always do as well as you would like........BUT - I NEVER sat an exam until I scored well enough on any practice/mock exam first.

    Have you taken the practice exam from the "OFFICIAL" CLEP GUIDE?? If not, do so as those sample question questions are closer to the real thing.

    GOOD LUCK!!

    I took the second one and got a 55!!! I feel as if I am definitely ready now! The only reason why I got that score was because I did not actually take the time to read each question thoroughly. What do you all think...

    Like Shoto said, I wouldn't take it if I didn't pass the practice one...but its not like that's a particularly hard exam, just pick the most politically correct answer!
