SIMPLY_HUGO,
I just started studying for Western Europe since 1945 v2 and thought about how it might be very useful for you since you're an auditory learner. Here's to Your Health uses v2 and hopefully it will work out well.
I'm very impressed with V2 and feel like its going to give me that extra voice come test time and hopefully it will do the same for you.
I usually don't type out the words for the flashcards but V2 gives you some extra features that makes typing out the words even more valuable than the original flashcards (it seems to be very Intuitive. V2 is almost like ALEKS you start and then you can't stop because you're actually having a great time learning.
Good luck and let us know how it works out for you.
Keep the Faith!

Try the REA books for the CLEPS. They give you a 50-100 page summary of the subject, then two or three sample tests. They work for me.
Sometimes I use IC, sometimes REA. I Always peek at the exam specific forum though.

It sounds to me like you are dionig enogh study and should be able to pass,I wonder it it id just the testing method and wording that can send you off.. If you try the 3 peterson tes online (free to Active Military) and can pass them you shouls be finr. If you think you might have testing angsyity maybe a course on overcome that is avalable.

Another thing....
Flashcards are a way of learning if you have some exposure to the background material. You may need to read about the subject first.
In your case, I would try the REA books to get the background, then take the included practice tests. When you are all done with REA, use the IC resources. I find flashcards to be a very choppy way to learn, since they do not flow like a book.
You may also need a lesson in test taking strategy. This is very important! I know people that can walk into almost any multiple choice test and pass, since they know how to analyze the answers. There are often non-sensical answers that you can rule out, and other techniques.
Keep working at it until you figure out what you are doing wrong. Maybe you can find a friend or family member that knows the subject material to help you figure out where you keep having trouble. Your trouble MAY NOT be with the subject material, and may be with technique.
By the way, I have mostly As and Bs on the tests that I have taken, and I typically don't know what 25% of the questions are talking about. In most of those questions I find answers that I know are from some other question, or just distractor answers. I have received a number of Bs on tests that I swore I would fail.
