[Spencebr]

Hey everyone, im new to this clep dsst stuff. I posted somethining similar to this regarding world religions... however I plan on taking Analyzing and interpreting literature on saturday, so far I have scored 59/54 percents on the practice exams on petersons?

Is this is enough to pass this test or should I wait..... I know there is no real way to study and im active duty military so the test is free, however im just curious if you guys think im prepared enought to pass this test..

Sorry if im asking stupid questions im just trying to set myself up for sucess.

Get the Official CLEP Study Guide at your library or Amazon. It is the best example of the content of the tests and will help you determine when you are ready to take them. (If you are taking multiple CLEPs, it is better to buy the book for about $16, but you can download the individual subject guide for $10 from the CLEP website.)

For this exam, many have said that REA is harder and Peterson's are easier than the real exam, which is the reverse of most subjects.

Thank you for the feed back.... I was wondering more specifically what percentage should i be looknig to get on these practice test to achieve a passing score on Clep test ... I understand the scores are scaled so therefor a lower grade me be allowed for passing?

Just for clarification purposes, CLEP and DSST tests are not "free", but are funded by the DANTES program. In other words, we all pay for the exams. Don't get me wrong, I'm military and I take full advantage of testing, but I feel we have a moral responsibility to make sure we make a best effort and are fully prepared to take an exam the tax payers funded for us.

Look, all im trying to get at is acording to other people in this forum with test taking experience is what they feel a percentage on a practice test would equate to a passing scaled score on a clep test. The nature of this specific exam makes it hard to study and im trying to get a guage at how prepared I am. Not trying to abuse a systyem in the least.

Btw Just took the third practice exam on petersons and got a 67%

I think you will do fine. As I'm sure you understand it's a reading comprehension test. Your scores, especially the last one, look solid. Stay on top of your time during the test and I think you will be OK.

Best,

About 65% or above on Petersons is a good indication that you’ll pass the Clep.

I just took the test last week on Friday and passed with a 50...sigh...my score in Peterson practice test was around the same amount of the actually clep test score. However my score was 45, 53, 56 in Peterson, so I figured that's good enough for me. Mind you, I did a lot of guessing and still got a passing score in practice and actual test too. Good Luck! Because it sucks and I do not care for all that mumble jumbo talk! LOL
