Question about Peterson's "free" practice exams
#1
hello again! i was going through the resources sticky and found the peterson's "free" tests link. i tried clicking the "principles of management" practice exam link towards the bottom of the page (http://www.petersons.com/airforce/clepce...?sponsor=8) but it asks me to register. i see they also ask for an activation code while registering and was wondering where i can get that? i have the collegeboard CLEP book but just want some more exams to test myself with. thanks! =]

Blue,
Register, it's quick and painless, and input FL5518 for the code. Enjoy! Lee

haha thanks! actually i found out how the code's structured and i typed in 4 random numbers which actually worked :p

but yeah, so i took a practice exam for principles of management and according to the score, it says i got a 73%. but the way they say this score is calculated is based on how many i got correct/incorrect. how does the 73% translate to the CLEP scoring system of out of 80?

sorry if i seem really clueless but i'm still getting to know the system since this will be my first exam. thanks for your tips and patience guys! i appreciate it =]

Hi Blue,

As a very general rule of thumb, if you are scoring higher than 50% on the Peterson mocks, you are likely to pass the real exam.

Most people (including myself) feel that the Peterson exams are usually a little bit harder than the real thing.

Since you scored 73%, I would say you are probably ready to take the Management exam.

If in doubt, or if you are still nervous, by all means study some more.

Hope that helps,

Hey,

I tried that activation code and it didn't work (maybe because it's already taken). Does anyone know of any other codes that would work for this?

Thanks

i've been using FL5682. i randomly made up the 4 digits and it's worked for me so far. but i don't know exactly how often they change their code and so forth. good luck! =]

Hey,

Thanks Blue for the ID. It'll let me in now, but when I press "Continue" it gives me an internal site error. Am I the only one getting this? I'm trying to get all the practice tests I can for US Hist II, if anyone knows of any others that would be awesome.

Thanks

The activation codes are assigned to education centers on military posts. I just found out today that the army also has a free site.

http://www.petersons.com/army


The code for the army post I'm stationed is 064. The education counsler was handing them out to everyone, so the code a try. I wish the site was for DSST.

My wife picked this one up at the library last week, FL5587. Hope this works for you, I know it does for me.
