DANTES are nothing to be afraid of.
I have taken 17 DANTES and 10 CLEPs so far, and I can honestly say that I don't even think about whether my next exam is CLEP or DANTES anymore. They are BOTH just as doable.
The benefit of DANTES is that they are untimed. This will probably feel great after only having done CLEPs up until now. Take your time, kick your shoes off, and just relax. If a question throws you, just leave it for now and come back to it later. There's no rush!
Try not to panic as you work your way through the questions. There WILL be some questions that you find difficult. Most people feel uncertain about how they have done on DANTES exams because of this. But nobody expects you to get EVERY question correct, and the exams are scaled to reward those who do better than the average test taker. So you can still score high even if you get questions wrong. So just do your best, and you will most likely be pleased when your score report arrives.
Seriously, if you have studied IC and you have already passed the Peterson mock, you are most likely in a good position to do well tomorrow. Light review this afternoon and tonight will ensure you do GREAT.
Don't stress out Mary.
You're going to do fine,
