Retesting in a few months and scared out of my mind! - 2L8 - 01-16-2018
Hey Guys , I'm currently gonna retest for some of the CLEPs I didn't do so good on College Composition and Human Development , But I'm so scared I won't pass even though I've been studying my butt off. I did the REA Guides/Diagnostics for ( Composition , Human Development , Psychology , Sociology) along with Petersons , Instacard ,Modernstates but I don't feel its enough. I'm aiming to take it in April but I'm still afraid that I'll end up doing the same thing over again! Has anyone retested for CLEP how did you feel? Is there anything you did different?

It sounds like you have been preparing very thoroughly for these two tests! Generally, if you can get a good score on the Peterson's tests, then you'll do great on the real test. Try to aim for 70% correct or higher. I took College Composition, and it's actually not that bad, especially if you can ace the grammar portion. I would practice writing timed essays every day, and that really helped.
Do you have the official CLEP book? Usually there are some questions in there that are on the real test. Would highly recommend it! There's no actual course material, just practice questions. Here's a link to it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/CLEP-Official-Study-Guide-2018/dp/1457309297/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1516134867&sr=8-1&keywords=clep+official+study+guide
Good luck!
