How do you know you are ready to take the CLEP test?

[jgbenjamin]

Here's my formula for passing a CLEP test: go through the questions (one section at a time) filling in the blanks until IC says 90%. Try to get 90s in each section three times. Like go through them in consecutive order one day--score in all sections at 90 or 89 and above. Do the same the next day. And then go through once more on your test day (still making in the 90s or 89). It may take a while to reach 90 (for FA I've been studying 2 weeks and am finally seeing a 89 today), but you will see your scores rising steadily. You CAN pass it! Don't be conceited, but do be confident-- do your best and you'll stand the test.

One last thing: if you want to pass with a comfortably safe margin, I would recommend using the official CLEP practice guide. You don't have to study it but just go through once answering the questions and if you don't know an answer look at the answer key and make a mental note-and yes, if you have to look for every other question that's not a good sign but anyways I'd go through this test as a last prep step. The questions in the college board CLEP guide should look familiar to you. and pay attention to the guide's test description like no. of questions and time allotted. If you have something that looks tight on time. Take your time and study a few more days. By the way, it's a good idea to peek at the official CLEP guide test description in the guide right now without bothering about the actual content, so that you can have a feel for the difficulty and will know when you are ready. I've passed a total of 6 CLEPS (visit my profile and testing history), so hopefully you can breathe easier.
