Woooo! Passed the Precalculus CLEP with a nice 66. It was a pretty easy exam, especially if you've got functions and trig identities down. Everything else on the exam seemed like Algebra II review.
Major thanks to Levi_1989 and auburngal_india for all the help and support.
Some resources that I would reccomend for the Precalculus CLEP:
Math Tutor DVD - Pre-calculus
REA's precalculus book
Peterson's practice exams
I have mixed feelings towards REA's book. Everything in there was helpful, but their examples were much much harder than what was actually on the test. I suppose that's good, but it really made me put off studying for this exam, as it seemed awfully difficult. I would reccomend using REA's book for the material, and if you don't understand the examples (which was quite often for me), look up examples online.
Math Tutor DVD was pretty helpful for a precalculus primer. Definitely reccomended.
Also, the Peterson's practice exams were really helpful and accurate as far as the material presented. They seemed more difficult than what was on the exam, but again, that's probably helpful.
Good luck to everybody who plans on taking it!
