Hello people,
I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed with all of the information that I FEEL I have to know for this exam. I know that everyone says it is a moderately easy exam but I have also read so many posts of people who almost passed or barely missed passing, and I don't want to be that guy who missed two questions and ended up with a 49 instead of the needed 50. So far, I have gotten a 93 on the free-clep-prep, and 81,84,87 on the Peterson's practice tests and I am waiting to take the OCSG test until tomorrow as my real exam is on Tuesday. ONe concern I have is that the language/terminology of the IC cards sometimes conflicts with what I had already learned previously in my studying, and it makes it hard for me to push out the old info when I look at a test question. i.e with regard to one aspect of conflict resolution, one site refers to "forcing" while another calls it "competition" but they both mean the same thing. I guess I just have to learn both ways. Did anyone else feel that they were still learning new terms and theories right up until the day of the test or did you just focus on the main core info seen in the specific feedback forum to "just want to pass" ?
I'm pretty sure that my paragraph is more than slightly unintelligible, but its all I've got at this point as my brain feels like its melting from information overload. thanks for reading

In my opinion if you got a 93 on the free CLEP prep practice test then you will pass by a comfortable margin. Run through IC two days before your test and you will do great. With regards to terminology you should be able to narrow down the correct answer based on the studying you've already done.

I'm fairly sure you'll pass (although I'd never guarantee that to anyone). With all of the study work you've put in I'll guess you'll end up with a nice high score. My advice at this point is not to worry about it anymore and go take the exam. If you're feeling overloaded then it isn't going to help much to cram anymore thought into the exam.

Thanks for the support. Yeah, I wish I could have taken the exam already, but where I live the CLEP is only offered once a month. The anxiety of not knowing if I passed or not is what I think is getting to me. thanks again

You'll be fine I'm sure! Have some faith in yourself and you'll love the feeling that comes from a completed exam.

Lol, thanks guys... I have taken a CLEP before. I took US history 1 last year and passed, but I just remember feeling like I didn't know a lot of what it covered. I still managed a 66 somehow. And yeah, I have heard from some people that the petersons are harder, but then some say they weren't alike at all(like none of the same info) and some say they aced the Peterson and then completely punted the actual. Just stressed I guess, this is my last class credit(elective) for my AA from a brick and mortar school. I really wish I would have found out about this site sooner than 2 weeks ago, I feel like its a wealth of great info and deff the fast track to a degree.
