Sounds like the handsdown vote is A&I. I will take a stab at the one. I will spend some time brushing up on terminology more than anything and then take the practice exams and see where I am.
Thanks for the feedback!

We are still very new at this and need some advice. My 16 year old son is studying for A&I. He first took the Official Clep Guide practice test and scored really high. I then decided to have him take the REA practice test and he did horrible. Now, I don't know what to do. He got really down on himself and I just can't figure out what happened. Anyone out there had any luck with using the Official Clep tests or are they really easy?? PLEASE HELP. Thank you in advance!!!!

I didn't use it for this particular exam, but usually the official book is more accurate than REA.

I remember the REA tests for A&I Lit being brutal. They're a bit harder than the real thing. The CLEP Official Guide is about the same difficulty as the real test, however - just shorter.
I would go ahead and take the remaining REA tests and then, if he still isn't confident, take the
free Peterson's exams.
Hope it goes well!
