Hi there. I'm studying to take the principles of marketing CLEP. I was looking for practice tests and came upon this:
CLEP Principles of Marketing | DOME Exam Prep - CLEP
I scored 85% overall on this test, do you think that could be an indication that I'm ready to take the actual exam? I thought it seemed a little too easy except for the markup questions which I can't easily do in my head unless it's multiples of 10.
I took the practice test in the CLEP study book and got 68%.
What do you think? I keep putting off the exam feeling like I should study more, but with me that could go on forever.

I decide how much study I do based on a number of factors. First of all, do you have to have Marketing? If this is a must-have, you should do a little bit more studying and then take my suggestions below. If it's just one way to fill elective credits, then don't waste any more time, go down and test and get on to the next topic
Suggestions if you need to score well on marketing:
Go through IC cards
Go through the specific feedback and know everything that people discuss.
Review a few study guides that members have attached.
Do another practice test.
Edit to add: marketing is not one of the more difficult tests, so while I am a proponent of "over-studying," especially if you HAVE to have this CLEP, don't spend more than 4 days to a week on this. It's really not that hard.

Yes I have to have credit for principles of marketing for my degree. I've never taken a CLEP before. I've already spent 2 weeks on this reading a textbook. I don't have IC cards and don't plan on spending any more money on materials, for this one at least. Where can I find study guides attached?
