Are CLEP tests always the same or are there usually different questions?
#1
I'm studying for the Chem CLEP and the College Board website does break down the topics and percentages pretty well, but are the percentages always the same? I don't want to burn myself out studying for things that won't be on the exam while ignoring things that will be major topics.

Yes, the College Board breakdown and practice questions are a great way to stay on track for this exam. I do believe that they try to have the actual questions follow the basic percentages given.

Cleps generally follow the percentage breakdown, but something to be aware of is that lots of times on the 5 general tests, the percentages of topics you get tested on will vary from what CollegeBoard says.

I am taking Western Civ 1 on Friday and I saw that you have taken it. I have done all the InstantCert modules for the exam and was just wondering if it was helpful for you?

Instacert works great, I always like a second reference.
But I'm betting you could pass with only IC.

I didn't use IC for this test so I can't comment on its usefulness; sorry! Try searching these Forums--there are a lot of good tips and info on here. REA and timelines are excellent.
