I just took two of the three Peterson practice tests for Principles of Microeconomics and scored a 54 and 71. I did so much better on the second test because I looked at what I did wrong on the first one. Can someone tell me how these scores compare with actual Clep scores? Also, is my score on the second test completely skewed because I looked at all of the answers and explanations to the first test before taking the second one?

if you understand the basic concepts -- I think the 54 would indicate that you'd pass the actual test. Just get the basic concepts down -- and take the last 2 Peterson's tests. If you get at least a 50 or so on both -- I'd take the actual test.

Having been great in English way back in high school, I thought the Analyzing and Interpreting Lit practice tests would be a breeze - I was wrong!
I just took the REA test and scored 57 (which was 56%; 45/80 questions right) so that can't possibly be a pass, can it? I got 70% on the Peterson's, so that's a bit better.
Is the actual test as difficult as the practice ones? I've been reading all of the tips posted here, so I'm hoping that will help, but I'm just not getting it.
Test is on Saturday, and I need these 6 credits by Dec. 1. :eek:
Thanks!

I think you'll do just fine, Kait!!
Remember, go through ALL the questions first - answering the easier ones -- and skipping the harder ones (and putting the check mark on them). After going through all the questions -- go back and answer the harder questions. This will save you so much stress!!! Looking forward to your good report Saturday!!!
