I have to take the social science and history clep tomorrow. I have been taking the REA practice exams and have only been getting about a 52 on them. Is this enough to pass the real thing tomorrow ? (I also have to take the lifespand developmental psychology dantes tomorrw ) If anyone has any advice or experience on either of these exams I would love to hear from you. Seems like the posts for the SS and History clep are pretty old. Anything new ? Thanks

Amazon.com: Cracking the AP U.S. History Exam, 2008 Edition (College Test Prep): Princeton Review: Books is IMO the best prep material and basically all I used for the History portion of the SS&H CLEP. I supplemented the other sections(Economics, Sociology, etc...) with IC. Took it 5 weeks ago and got a 64 on the exam.

Seems like the posts for the SS and History clep are pretty old. Anything new ? Thanks I just posted the other day (like yesterday). No guarantees, but if you're getting 50+ % on the REA, you'll probably do allright. I found the actual exam a bit easier than the REA's. Got a 65 this past saturday with just 3 or 4practice exams as study.

Wow !! That is really encouraging. I hope I can do as well as you.... If I can just pass I will be happy... Thanks so much !

I'm glad you brought this up. Which score do you look at on the REA's? What I THOUGHT were good scores might not be. I scored a 73% (percent of correct questions) out of 95 today. However, I looked at the bottom score, and it said a 53 ("your score"). Please tell me it's the 73 I should be looking at?:o

There are two scores with the REA... Your raw score and your scaled score. The raw is how many questions you got right, and your scaled is what you would actually score on the real thing. But don't worry, sounds like you are doing good. Everyone was right. I passed yesterday with a 56 !! Yes ...I was so glad... Good luck.

Would that be reflected as a 53% or something on the REA's? Does the real CLEP score the same way?

Great job Mary. I would have been as happy with a 56 as with the 65. A pass is a pass! Especially on the 6 credit broad based exams. There is just too much breadth to study for so it's practice tests and crossed fingers. We passed, yay! Onward and upward!
