Does anybody have any suggestions in terms of tests that closely mirror the flashcards on this site? I am taking a test per week (8 of them, 6 to go) and would like to find examples of tests where the flashcards available here are most useful for passing the tests. I have done Substance Abuse and Personal Finance on 5 days of study and am looking for other candidates.

I studied for both using flashcards and Peterson's and did well. They are also fairly easy exams IMHO

Here are the exams I passed using only IC:

CLEP Sociology
CLEP Management
CLEP Marketing
CLEP Microeconomics
CLEP Macroeconomics
DSST Management Information Systems
DSST Statistics

Here are the exams I passed with no study specific to the exam, just prior learning or common knowledge. Note that these exams covered my strong areas of knowledge, save Algebra, so YMMV.

CLEP Algebra
CLEP Social Sci. & History
CLEP Natural Sci.
CLEP A&I Lit
CLEP Info Systems and Computer Apps
DSST Supervision
DSST Counseling

All other tests in my signature I used a book or other websites to study for.

The thread in question may be found here:

Another thread of interest involved the pass rate of IC-ers:

(BTW I thought that IC's cards best paralleled the real test for American Government and Humanities, though I wouldn't take American Gov until you have some background in US History. The easiest CLEP to prepare for would be A&I Lit. See if your library has the REA book.)
