I read multiple threads that the Peterson exams are easier than the CLEP ones. I tried 1 practice exam from the DoD Petersons (my dad is ex-military, so thankful for that). The actual test has 2 sections of total 48 questions;
Calculator section of 25 questions for 50mins
Non-calculator section of 20 questions for 40mins
I know how to use the calculator, so I feel ok about that. But if what you say is true, then im scared crapless. I dont know if Im describing this right, but the Official Guide had some tricky questions to it, I mean dont get me wrong, I got them right but it took me a bit to think through and knowing that the fact that I'm timed is making me feel Im going to fail.
There is no time to double check my answers.
I reallly reallly hope that the Petersons exam is almost like the CLEP one, despite people saying its easier. 60mins to answer 100 questions is exhausting so I stopped at 71 and found that I got 58 of them right.
