Correct me if I'm wrong, but...

If you randomly select an answer on every question, that'd give you a 20% chance to be correct. Edit *MA2 is right, there's 5 questions, so the math goes down from 25% to 20%*

I have not done many CLEPs, only 2 so far. That being said I think the rate of difficulty depends on what someone's particular intellectual skill set allows them to do.

I view it more as a risk to reward ratio. For me, an easy CLEP test equals a 55-65 score thus far over a small sample size. My skill set doesn't allow me to study for only one week and turn in an outstanding score. I believe I'm capable of turning in passing scores for a majority of the time though.

I remember seeing a statistics sheet showing only about 38-40% of the DSST tests have 50% pass rates. I think military stats showed about 25% of the CLEP tests to have 50% pass rates. I'd imagine the general public doesn't drive these statistics up too far.

So that being said, statistically, anyone that claims they're all easy is the exception and not the norm. Otherwise these stats would be reversed and the percentage of passing rates would be much much higher.
