To anyone that has taken the US History I CLEP---- are the REA or Peterson's practice tests closer to the real thing? I take this test Friday and need to know which practice tests to focus on with the little time I have left to study.
Thanks for any advice or help!

My REA scores were closest to my CLEP score. My Petersons scores were only a little lower, though. If you have the Official Clep SG, take that PTâit's really accurate. And don't forget to study the PTs when you finish taking them

Take them both. There's no such thing as taking TOO many practice tests. Read through the explanations as well (right or wrong). 6 total tests... take 3 Wednesday 'n 3 Thursday.
Best of luck to you!

1st REA pt: 64 scaled
2nd REA pt: 73 scaled 1st Peterson's pt: 59% (64 scaled) Official CLEP Study Guide: 78% On the real thing, I scored a 73. I posted thoughts and resources for this test near the bottom of this post ---> http://www.degreeforum.net/excelsior-tho...post136710 If you'd like, I can PM you a list of specific things to know for the CLEP. I would advise taking both the Peterson's and the REA practice tests - the more information you know, the better prepared you will be for the test! Good luck on your CLEP.

I'll post the scores I had if you want to compare them. In general, the REA practice tests are a bit easier, and the Peterson's are a bit harder than the real test.
REA 1: 52 scaled REA 2: 60 scaled REA 3: 58 scaled Official Clep: 72 percent Test: 56
