I got a 66% on Peterson's College Math pre-test. Does anyone have experience with how Petersons compares to the real thing? Can I expect to pass with this kind of score?

Thanks a lot

Definitely. A 60% on a Peterson's Test means a pass on a CLEP. For College Math, the Peterson's tests are harder than the REA tests, and the REA tests are harder than the real test is!

Hope it goes splendidly,

Both Peterson's and REA practice tests seem to be slightly harder than the actual exam questions, in my experience. Smile
