I am taking the CLEP this Friday and I am very concerned. I have been studying the whole month of February, but when I do practice tests (I've been using the REA book), I have been getting many questions wrong. Even some of the IC questions are a bit confusing. I am worried the test will be really hard and I have been seeing that the CLEP now has a financial math section. Does anybody who took the CLEP recently know exactly what type of financial problems it includes? I've looked over simple interest, compound interest, tax, markups, etc. I am really worrying now that I am not prepared.

I'm guessing the financial math is
you deposit $100 in the bank at 0.25% interest compounded yearly
how much money do you have in 10 years

What are your scores on the REA exams? I used the REA book and practice tests as well. Passed in the high 60's if I remember (and that was 15 years after my last math class at the time).
Have you tried this one?

It's pretty close to what you'll see on the actual test.
As for the financial math, bluebooger is pointing you in the right direction.
