Peterson Tests - colerd1 - 04-16-2009

I took one of the Western Civ II Peterson Tests and got 62 right out of 120 questions. To me this seems bad. How do I correlate this to a CLEP score?
Thanks.

It's kind of difficult to convert your raw score (62) to a scaled score. However, as a general rule, if you answer at least 50 percent of the questions correctly, you pass the test. So, on your practice tests, try to get a number higher than 50 percent, so you will have a cushion to fall back on when you take the real exam.

Does this make sense? :eek:

Thanks for the reply. I took the Western Civ II CLEP this morning and passed with a 53. I'm happy to have this one behind me. Guess the Peterson was a good indicator as I had 51%.
