Is College Math easier than College Algebra?
#1
I easily passed CLEP College Algebra without any preparation. Should I expect to be able to do the same with College Mathematics? Does passing College Algebra mean I should be able to pass College Mathematics?

Yes. College math is a lower math than college algebra.

I don't think that it hurts to go through the IC cards at least once before taking the test. There are some concepts on College math that might not be on College Alg. Don't take my word for it, because I've only taken the Math test, but there are some relatively basic concepts that took me a few minutes to brush up on that I had forgotten.. It couldn't hurt just to look!

I made a 75 on the Peterson's College Math practice test 1. Is that good enough to go for the real test?

The College Math CLEP covers a much broader range than College Algebra. I recommend going through the IC cards at least once.

I don't rely on just 1 PT score, I like to take a few and be consistently scoring at the level I would like to be. So if you keep scoring like that on the PTs, you will be ready. (Btw, I thought you didn't like Petersons PTs for the College Math CLEP?)

I don't like Peterson's College Math practice tests at all. I took the practice test before the actual test. After taking the real test, I realized how far off the Peterson's College Math tests are. All other Peterson's practice tests I took were reasonably close to the real thing.
