For the CLEP and DSST that I took, I felt the Peterson's tests were always harder, which is a good thing! I knew that if I scored well on the Peterson's, then I was ready for the real test. REA generally is easier, but that depends on the test; sometimes their tests have been helpful, others not so much. I have not found FCP tests to be helpful. Maybe they're good for a bit of practice, but I'd stick with REA and Peterson's. I feel like the FCP website has not been updated in a while; anyone know if Justin is still active there?
The BEST resource when it comes to practice questions is the Official CLEP book. By far, they win every time. Sometimes I've seen questions on the real test that were word-for-word in the Official book.

Poster in the Specific Exam Feedback just said (4 hours ago) he failed the Bio CLEP after kicking butt on REA practice tests and FCP tests. I'm telling you, REA is excellent, but if you can't pass 2/3 Peterson's you have to keep studying.

I just want to make sure I'm adequately prepared for that behemoth Humanities exam, and since my practice test scores are all over the place, I'm worried about my actual chances of hitting 50 (and eventually I'm going to attempt the Biology CLEP as well, and everybody's saying that one's a beast, too).
*Sigh* I long for the day when we can just download all this stuff into our brains, like in The Matrix. 
This experience someone had with studying for BIO CLEP was recently posted on Reddit:
