Hi! So I have been practicing for the U.S. History l CLEP with InstantCert. The last three times I have done the practice I have received the following marks in that order: 91%, 93%, and 94%. Do these marks indicate that I am ready to take the CLEP, or should I practice a bit more?
Thank you so much, I look forward to reading your responses!

If you are getting those scores on the Peterson's pretests, you are over-prepared. I typically get a passing score after getting 60s on the pretests.

It depends on which tests you are getting scores on. If it just the flashcards you should review the exam specific forum and read what has recently been helpful for others.

My 13 year old just took this test today and passed with a 62. He used instantcert plus the forum threads and watched the ed portal videos. He said there were a lot of questions from ed portal that were not on instant cert.

Update please!
Don't miss out on something great just because it might also be difficult.

Great stuff! Whats next? U.S History II is a little more difficult but worth focusing on the exam specific feedback section available as an instantcert subscriber.
