I chose biology and went through the REA book, half of all of the Khan Academy videos, half of the AP book, have scored 62 then 64 on REA tests, and 65 then 51 on my first two Petersons. After the 51, I am feeling a lack of confidence. I need a 50 to pass. Test is tomorrow morning. I have the option to push the test off for one more week but if I fail that one, consequences would be pretty bad. Opinions? I am not naive enough to make such a decision based solely on what someone says here so don't hesitate to share your opinion please.
On a side note, regardless of how I do, thank you all so much for the valuable feedback you have given thus far. A lot of it has proven invaluable.

On another more interesting note. I have noticed at least three separate incorrect statistics questions (graphs, what can be concluded from them etc..) on the Petersons exams. The errors are immediately apparent to someone with my background so don't be too turned off if you happen to get some of those wrong. Hopefully the actual CLEP won't be the same.

65!!! Thank you all again so much, I could not have done it without you.
PS: It was much harder than I expected but I guess a good deal of educated guessing worked.
