CLEP Precalculus - HELP @_@
#1
Ok so Im taking the CLEP precalculus (or scheduled to take it) this friday (the 16th of December) which is 2 days roughly from this post.

I have gone through a precalculus textbook (Precalculus by Larson & Hoestler 6th edition), I have taken the clep practice test from the Official Guide, and got 58 out of 71 total questions right (there were a 100 questions; on my first peterson test (which i skipped 29 questions because crap, 100 questions in 1 hour, I just felt drained rushing through, so i said screw it.)

anywho, I have been practicing for a total of a week maybe, a little bit more.

I have seen the other threads about this CLEP exam and I still cant gauge the difficulty of it. I fear whats going to get me is the time, because I'll get each answer right once I have time to think about it but its the fact that im on a time limit that im rushing through.

I know how to plot a graph, find intercepts, zeros on the calculator portion and calculate trig functions and logs as well on the calculator so I think Im ok, unless theres something more.


I know my logarithms and natural log properties and what not
Im refreshing on polynomials, and understand how to solve them as well as functions (getting the zeros of a polynomial are a B***** because of how time consuming they can be when your using the Rational Theorem)

I know trig accounts for almost half the test.

I want to know what kind of trig problems am I to expect. If its such like in the official guide, I might be ok. The graphs of trig functions are tricky, there are some that I cant figure out why they are such.

Anywho these have been my study material for the total of a week roughly. I have been cramming for the last 2-3 days.

College precalc book (Larson and Hoestler 6th edition)
Official CLEP Study Guide practice ----- I understand a majority of the questions however when I first took it, I nearly bombed it (this is without any studying) now I understand why they are as such though I wish I had more practice exams. I just dont want to pay for it.
Precalc Demystified -- This is a long book, I jump around a lot.


Sorry if im rambling but I am scared I wont pass this test. I really need this test as well as the test date so I can sign up for Calculus 1 spring term (mech engineering major). I understand the concepts of trig, I just hope its not as hard as the official guide.
