Record Straight.
#1
Ok so I am done with all 3 of the Petersons trial exams on Westeren Civ 1 and out of 120 here is my followign scores on those practice exams:

Exam 1: 53 Correct/ 67 Incorrect

Exam 2: 61 Correct/ 59 Incorrect

Exam 3: 58 Correct/ 62 Incorrect

Ok, so the way they score it on the CLEP is basiclly 1 point for a correct answer and thats it? Its not a % of correct answers to incorrect ones? I know questions not answered dont count against you so I just need soem clarification please :p The score needed to pass the CLEP at my school is 50.

Barely cracking 50% on one of three practice exams doesn't sound like ready to me. But I never used Peterson's practice exams, so take it for what it's worth. I think you should buy a copy of the CLEP Official Guide, and you should score at least 60% on the practice exam there before you schedule the real exam.

Oh and questions not answered do count against you -- they count as a wrong answer.

Supposedly the Peterson practice exams are a lot harder than the actual CLEP from what I've heard on this forum so that might be why he said I was ready. Not sure though.

I'm in the same boat, I took the three exams for sociology and got a 49, 47 and a 43. I was freaking out but was told the Peterson is much harder the the clep tests. I went to take my first exam today after work only to find out the testing center had changed their hours!!!!! Sad

Well, I have 4 days left till I sit my first test which will be the Western Civ 1 CLEP. As stated above I have already did the three petersons test and I got the REA guide for this test and did the 2 tests in it yesterday with about the same results as the Petersons, kind of discouraging. The way they word questions is what scares me as it basiclly alters the way I approach a question. Am I nervous?....... Oh definetly! Im gonna keep reading the guide over again and retaking the test without the answers and see if I can boost my scores.
