Are these scores good enough to pass? Humanities - tresmom - 11-13-2011
I know this question gets asked a lot so I apologize for asking again, but I am not sure that studying more is going to change my score at this point and I think I am just going to take the test tomorrow and hope for the best, but wanted to post here first just in case I am being way too optimistic.
Here are the scores I've gotten from practice tests.
REA tests
test 1 -52%
test 2 - 54%
test 3 - 52%
CLEP's Humanities practice test
71%
Peterson's practice test
test 1 - 47%
test 2 - 52%
I haven't taken test 3 yet. I was going to take that either later tonight or tomorrow morning. I wasn't planning to take the test until late tomorrow. I had really wanted to be scoring in the 60-65% on the REA and Peterson tests and closer to 80-85% on the CLEP's practice test, but I just can't seem to get my test scores to budge. They are at least very consistent, but not as high as I wanted. Any last minute suggestions? Also do you think I am stupid for just going ahead and taking the test tomorrow and hoping for the best?

I can't remember exactly, as I took the Humanities quite a few years ago, but I think those scores are right about on the borderline, maybe a touch better. I recall that the Peterson's for Humanities were quite a bit harder... I doubt I got any higher than low 60s and I passed the CLEP with a 70. You'll probably be fine... it comes down to your attitude. If you're fairly confident you can pull it out, I'd say go for it, but if you have enough lingering doubts, you're probably better off waiting and studying another week. Those lingering doubts can snowball during a test if you nerve up and then you could end up missing questions that you actually know.
Basically, my advice is, you're not crazy to take it tomorrow, but if you're gonna commit to that, commit to it fully. Stay positive and don't second guess yourself.
