Thanks, I passed with a 64!
I started with Humanities because I thought that it would be the toughest for me as I knew next to nothing about the material covered.

I have not tried Humanities because it seemd like so much to learn. If you can do so well on that you can do any test.
Congratulations

This test was so broad - I used everything! Peterson's, REA, Cracking the CLEP, IC, text books, Wiki and videos. I worked really hard. My method (for the most part) was taking practice tests and then going over the things I got wrong.
Netflix was helpful for Shakespeare (Standard Deviants), the classics(Dickens, F.Scott Fitzgerald,Orwell etc) and "The History of Western Art".
