I'll definitely be praying. :-) The added pressure of mom & dad....oh I don't miss those days.

OK, I hate to be the one to ask, but why are your parents pushing for a 70? Curiosity has got the better of me......:o

I don't know my self why they where asking for a 70. Well anyways i didn't pass and i was kind of disappointed about it. Only about 5 of the questions where ones i had acctually studyed on.

Aww, I'm sorry you didn't pass.
Don't give up...keep studying. You'll get it next time. How close were you to passing?

45 that was my score. I guess its not too bad giving the amount of stuff i knew about it (which wasnt much). its such a broad range of information to process. I think they should really split the history tests (Western Civ 1 and 2 and American History 1 and 2) into 3 parts not just 2.

You mean...you think it should be Western Civ. I, II, and III? Then US History I, II and III?

Don't beat yourself up about it.....Western Civ I was by far one of the most difficult exams for me, just because of the sheer volume of information (and I was also homeschooled). When you retake it, I strongly suggest reading your highschool world history book again, getting the REA CLEP Western Civ. guide Amazon.com: CLEP Western Civilization I w/ CD-ROM (REA) -- Ancient Near East to 1648: Ancient Near East to 1648 (REA Test Preps): Books: Robert M Ziomkowski,Larissa Juliet Taylor and doing its practice tests several times (and reading the answers) and doing IC over and over. Plan to spend about 2-3 weeks of extensive study on it.
Also, do you have the general book of CLEP practice tests? Amazon.com: CLEP Official Study Guide: 18th Edition (Clep Official Study Guide): Books: The College Board I always take the practice test a day or two before taking the real thing. Personally, if I didn't get over half of the questions right, I would reschedule the test. I can't recommend this book highly enough--it gives you some idea of what stuff will be covered and allows you to gauge your readiness.
Better luck next time!
