I am averaging 80 on my Peterson's practice tests.
Is that score sufficient enough that I can feel comfortable about the actual exam on Monday? Thanks...

hell, yes! typically, i get between 55-75% on those tests and my scores on the actual exams are consistently in the upper 60's (50 is passing on most of the cleps, with 80 being perfect). the peterson's tests are notorious for being harder than the actual thing.
btw, i've taken and passed 12 clep/dsst tests now, with no failures and i never once got a practice score over 80%, even on the western civ test where i got a 75/80 on the actual test. you'll be fine. good luck!

You should be fine. Good luck on your exam.

Since I know a bit (pardon the pun) about computers, I thought it would be the way to go to get my feet wet in the CLEP world. I will post my results Monday afternoon. My test is scheduled for 1:30pm Central Time.

Here's hoping Monday is a good day for you!
I would recommend going over the problems you are missing just to find out why, and looking at the ones that were a total guess. Have a great test.

You must really know your computers...
 Like everyone else said, CLEP and DSST are very forgiving, probably more so than any other test you've ever taken. A good general knowledge of the subject and good test taking skills are usually more than enough to pass.
