So I'm taking my 2 test on Saturday and I'm nervous as to the actual
Difficulty. I got 55 on the rea practice test. I'm going to study more.
Any input would be appreciated.

A & I Lit is one of the easier for most people. 55 on practice is OK. Make sure you study literary terms and you should be fine

Here some videos that you may find helpful:

Free Clep Prep has a list of terms to know, with some links to helpful websites towards the bottom of the page:

Cliff Notes on literary terms (looks VERY helpful!!):
Tools & Resources: Literary Terms & Poetry Glossary
Shmoop:

Learner.org:
Resource: Literary Visions
Your practice test score, though usually on the low side, should be okay for this exam -- the real test is much easier than the practice tests. There may be some of the same works of literature on both the practice tests and the real thing, so be sure to review all your answers for each practice test. Try to take more practice tests (including the Official CLEP Study Guide one) if you have time -- knowing the literary terms is good, but you also need to know how to apply them and really understand what the literature is expressing. Good luck!

The previous posts have given you lots of good info. I just wanted to suggest that you make sure and watch the clock on this exam. Many people have said that they spend too much time reading and tend to almost run out of time to finish the test. So just a heads up!

Good luck!

HorseManiac is right - this is a clock-watching test if there ever was one!

I just passed a practice test from the 2013 offical Clep study guide with a 61.
Is that a good score? Or should I go for higher?

Thats a good score! It's usually recommended to get a 60% on the OCSG, so that's perfect!! In addition, I found the practice tests to be generally harder than the real thing, so you should be good to go!
