Yep, I used the Barron's book as well for both exams. I liked it more for the Business Law II DSST than the Business Law CLEP, but it covers both fairly well.
If I had to choose between the REA or Barron's for the CLEP exam, I'd probably go with REA. Personal opinion only, but it just worked better for me. For the DSST it was Barron's all the way.

Totally off topic but I just got my CISSP test results on Friday!
I guess I better update my sig!
Of course I still have to fill out the paperwork and have my friend who is a CISSP endorse me.

Congrats on passing the CISSP! It's a beast, but well worth the effort. Most of my job offers these days are from recruiters running searches for those five little letters. It's a skill-set which is going to be needed for quite some time.
Get the paperwork done ASAP and submit to ISC2. The turnaround on that part of the process is usually pretty quick.
Congrats again and good luck on the CLEP!

I am taking this exam next week. I need to get a 63 on the exam (raw score) to pass it. I took a Peterson's test and got a 64 on it and took the official clep practice test and got a 59 out of 80. I have two more Peterson tests I am taking this week before the real thing next Monday. Any advice?

Thanks. I don't know how to start a new thread but it seems like you are familiar with B Law so maybe you can help me. I've heard that Peterson's tests are more difficult than the actual exam and based on my scores from their test and the official practice test I would concur. Which do you think is a better indicator of what to expect on the actual exam?

To get a 63 raw score, you need to get 70-71 correct on the exam. This is from the 2012-2013 update.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
