I need to take this test this week. I have been studying for over a month...I just took the last of the three peterson exams and only got a 42
that is what I got on the second one. For those that have taken it is a 42 on the peterson going to be good for a 50+ on the actual exam?

I would recommend REA also. Have you done the flashcards on IC?

Also I probably would not take the test until I felt very good about this one, because you can not take it again for 6 months. If you need the test then make sure you are ready. Sometimes we are a little better off maybe waiting.

I'm very solid with the IC flashcards the Petersons tests just seem so differant. The IC cards helped a ton and I was able to figure out some of the Peterson questions by process of elimination by things I learned from the flashcards. I found the area I am having the hardest time with is Arts:eek: I am scoring very well in the Lit section (80%) and I thought that was going to be my weakest point. I will need it by the time I finish, I am pushing for completion in the next 9 months.

Arts was the thing I felt shaky on, but lots of Wikipedia study and the perusal of an art history book helped a lot. As long as you know most of the major painters and architects you should be fine. I thought the real test was somewhat easier than the practice tests, but I wouldn't take it until you score close to 50% on a practice test. Do you have the CLEP Official Guide? Those tests tend to be good indicators of how you'll score - better than Peterson's at least.
Hope it goes well,
R.
