I decided to bite the bullet and scheduled my 1st Clep (Introductory Sociology) for tomorrow morning. I only need 2 cleps and 2 ece tests to complete my degree. I am soooo nervous. I don't know how to tell if I am ready. I studied instantcert for three weeks and can get 150 out of 157 cards right, scored 54, 63 and 64 on Petersons and scaled scores of 59 and 58 on REA...why am I so nervous? I will post my result in the member forum tomorrow at lunch..thanks everyone for the help!..

If you only need these couple of credits to finish your degree, then you have taken many, many tests during your college career. These are just the same, except you do them on a computer, have only multiple choice questions (no essay on this one), and know your score right away!
God bless you in your endeavors today!

RELAX!!! You're gonna pass. I just took the plunge 2 weeks ago and it was a cakewalk. My studying and scores were similar to yours for a similar test (social studies and history).
I just got over some crazy test nerves, so I can really sympathize with you. I took my FDNY Refrigeration Machine Operator practical test and scored a 93% which is almost unheard of according to my instructor at the union training center.
Despite being well prepared, I was so nervous last night I hardly slept. It took 4 benadryls to knock me out!

If you pass the Peterson's, the CLEP is now a formality. Go pass it and enjoy the 3 credits for 80 bucks.
