I am taking this test Wednesday (21st) and would appreciate any info as well. I took the official pre-test and scored 65% so I think I will do just fine but any extra assurance is always welcome!
Are there many questions about Markup and Markdown? I am wondering if I should study up more on that...
Thanks!

For Marketing, know the information in IC and you can't go wrong. I passed Marketing last week and scored a 72.
I studied approx. 12-14 hours with a very sketchy study schedule over a few days. I only used IC and practice tests in both the Official CLEP Guide and
4tests.com (make sure you review both right and wrong answers comparing them to the questions). I didn't even finish all the IC sections. (reviewed 1-3 twice; 4-6 once. Didn't make it to section 7). I don't say this to discourage you from hard study on the Marketing exam, as minimal effort reaps minimal results. But, I do encourage you in the fact that this exam is very doable despite the crazy curves life may throw you over the next several days before the 22nd. If money is an issue, I personally wouldn't purchase the REA on this one (I didn't) as IC and a little common sense---combined with the great support on this forum---is more than enough to pass with a good score. You may want to utilize the "search" feature on the main page if you haven't already. It ease my nerves reviewing imput from those who have surmounted the obstacle already. Best wishes!!!
SB,
Great post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to take this test next Saturday. I began studying today. With everybody saying it is an easy test. I will study each section 2 or 3 times and roll with it.
I have found that after you take a couple of Clep's, you sort of know what to expect and this boosts your confidence.
Before my first one (English Composition) I was petrified. When I took Business Law last week, not even nervous.
Anybody else have thoughts about this?
