I have a habit of taking several practice tests before I take the real CLEP exam. In the past I have only used Peterson's and REA for practice exams (Peterson's is my favorite).
Are there any other reliable practice exam sources, or are these basically the two major ones?
The reason I'm asking is that I am about to take the CLEP Precalc exam, and I can't find any good practice tests. The REA tests are okay, but they are often very inaccuate (for example, I took a REA A&I Literature practice exam and scored a 57, and the next day scored a 75 on the real test without even studying in between).
The Peterson's website doesn't offer full-length Precalc exams at this time.
Thanks.
P.S. I used the search feature for this forum, and couldn't seem to come up with anything.

The Official CLEP Study Guide has a practice exam for each subject, although they aren't full length. I haven't taken calc, but I've used this for some of the others and it was spot on.

Hi!
Have you tried Google?
I'm not familiar with PreCalc problems yet, but some of the examples on the first page of results look promising:
precalculus practice test - Google Search
Let me know what you think. I'll be taking this in the future. I also will be using Google a lot to find the practice tests I need.
When do you think you'll be taking this exam? My very best wishes to you!

Sunshine,
I forgot to mention that I do own the CLEP Official Study Guide. These are the most accurate questions available...even if the practice exams are not full length. Thanks for the post.
NAP,
There is an abundance of Precalc websites and sample questions. However, it is hard to find questions that are actually tailored to the actual CLEP. What I am trying to find is a practice test that I can take that will give an indication of how well I will perform on the real clep test (i.e. 45 questions in 90 minutes). Since the Precalc exam is relatively new, I am sure that, in time, people will continue to develop study resources for that test. In the meantime, I guess I will just have to try to make do with what I can find.
Thanks guys! If anyone else has any suggestions, please let me know.
I hope to take the test this Friday (4/17)...but, who knows? I may take it the next week.

Kaplan and Princeton Review have both published exam guides with practice tests for the General CLEP Exams, but as I can see, Andrew, you've already passed four of those.
