why do they pick on scoring this test?

Guys. I failed my American Government test this morning. The first thing I did after the test is coming here. I am not mad but sad. And I don't blame anyone but myself. I didn't study hard enough and now I have to wait six month to retake it. But I learn something that "don't ever take the risk when you are not sure about if you are ready for the test".

Well I need some advice from you guys. Now there four more tests that I have to take before graducate.

Freshman College Composition (w/ essay),
History of the U.S. I (w/ essay) or History of the U.S. II (w/ essay)
Western Civil. I (w/ essay) or Western Civil. II (w/ essay)
Biology, General

Which one is the easiest and which one should I take first to rebuild my confidence ? Thank you in advance.

Have you had a World History class or studied current events? If so, then take the Western Civilization. It was my first CLEP test and I took it and never even thought about studying for it and I passed. I did NOT have to do the essay, though, just the multiple choice. There were some questions I wasn't sure of, but you can find some good world history information to study - I seem to remember quite a bit about WWII, Japan and Germany - and study current events, you should do fine. I took it at least 8 years ago, so I don't really remember that much.

I also used CliffsQuickReview American Government as well as InstantCert to prepare for the CLEP exam. In August 2008, I easily scored a 62 with minimal studying.
