You could take it without studying if you know the material. I used Modernstates.com. I took their tests to get the voucher, then studied the videos for a day.

That could be said about most tests I believe.


Anyway I found this link which may be useful to study for info systems clep:

In this case, I think it only rings true if you have an IT background and an understanding of the history of computing. When I took it a few years back, I just reviewed the example test in the Peterson's guide and found I was able to easily ace the questions based on the material that was covered, so I didn't have to do any additional study for it. However, someone with less familiarity with the subject matter will definitely have to study. Just knowing how to use a computer and surf the web won't be enough to pass.

I had tech knowledge, but I still had to study a bunch of topics because I didn't have formal IT learning. (Basically what Merlin said.) I felt like they asked some pretty hard stuff, but that there was a significant curve too.

I would suggest the DSST instead if you are attending a school that takes it. I did not take the DSST myself, but I believe it's much easier for anyone who has not taken formal IT courses.
