This is my first post on this website!
I am planning to take this test (which will be my first CLEP) on Monday (9/12). I am confused by my results on the practice tests. I have taken two REA practice tests and only scored a 48 and a 50. However, just now, I took a Peterson test and scored a 71. Which score is most accurate? I didn't feel ready with the REA tests, but the Peterson wasn't so bad... Should I take it or keep working?
Thanks,

In my personal experience, I found the Peterson's tests to more accurately reflect the difficulty of the actual CLEP. I also took the REA tests, and while those were very helpful, they were also much more difficult than the actual test (the answers there are often subjective with more than one potential correct answer, so you need to choose the most correct answer which can be tricky.)
If you can score 50+ on the REA you will pass easily. If you're scoring 71 in the Peterson's, I suspect you'll end up in the upper 60s to low 70s on the actual test.
