Social Sciences and History CLEP -- HELP! - Ubuntu_user - 11-09-2010

Okay, I've been studying for the SS&H test, and I'm only getting 50% on the Petersons practice tests. I got 55% on the official clep practice test. Is this good enough to pass the actual test? I'm sooo scared that I'll flunk the test by a point or two, but I really don't want to do that since it would set me back 6 months.
I've taken Economics (both micro and macro), Sociology, and Western Civ. I & II.
I can cram in some study this week and take the test this friday, or I can study for the next two weeks and then take the test.

What should I do?

I think you have answered your own question.

Cram it and go is what I would do. But then again I do my best work under pressure, you may not be that way.

in the grand scheme of things what is two weeks? if you fail it will set you back 6 months.

Mhm. This is what I'm kind of thinking...

You think it'd be best to do IC flashcards in the next two weeks? Or what's my best study options (I've used up all my practice tests and I've read the comex study guide)?

Your only about 5% off on the Official practice test (I always aim for a 60%). If I were you I would look for your weak spot. Which part of the breakdown are you having trouble with? How many questions are you lacking for a 60%? Only you can really decide if your ready. I usually cram and take it (I'm so tired of studing it). I hope this helps. Sincerely, Elizabeth
