Principles of Marketing practice tests? - WendyR - 04-11-2008
I've used the test in my CLEP study guide and the one on 4tests.com. I'm going to rest my eyes for a few and then finish the tests in my REA guide and look over the IC flashcards one more time.
Is there any other practice test I'm missing for this exam? I don't see one on the Peterson's site.
Thanks -

There is no Peterson's practice test for Principles of Marketing. If you are getting a >65-70% on the REA tests IMO I think you can be confident that you are probably in good shape for the exam - but obviously only you know how ready you feel. I took this CLEP today and scored a 74/80 with 20 minutes to spare - I did leave the calculations to last. The only other test I practiced with besides REA was the actual Collegeboard practice test (Exam description with 50 questions, downloaded from collegeboard.com - $10) - I did that one about an hour before taking the actual CLEP test at school and I scored an 88% easily and decided I was ready.
I did not find this to be a hard test and there were only 4 calculations required. If you know REA/Instantcert you should be in good shape!

Wendy, I forgot to say that I was scoring 70% on REA yesterday - I did 2 out of the 3 tests and did fine on the actual exam as you can see in my other post.

Thanks for the info. I'm on my last hour of brushing up before I go take this exam. I'm nervous about the calculations, but if there are only four that shouldn't be too bad. I have the way to calculate the markups down, so hopefully that will be the hardest part.

Oh, and congratulations for doing so well!!
I hope to be able to say the same, or that I at least passed, within the next couple of hours hilarious

Wendy,
I am sure you will!
I do not like math questions on time sensitive exams so I often leave them to last. Do not be surprised to see a question similar to the first math question on Test #2 in REA's book. However, I always tell myself it's worth the same # of points (in this case 1) as the rest of the questions!
Good Luck!

This was the first test I ever took and I did it before I found IC. All I used was a sparknotes chart and I looked up some terms and made a 55. I found it to be extremely easy.

I also agree that this is an easy test. I took it yesterday with only some light 1-2 hours of studying right before the exam and I scored a 59.

Another "class" bites the dust!!

[SIZE="2"][COLOR="Navy"]Congratulations on your pass! That feels really good doesn't it?
"Another class bites the dust." I loved that quote because it accurately describes how I feel when I pass a CLEP. You put it into words perfectly!
Principles of Marketing is on my top 10 here. Did you think that IC provided the baisc knowledge that you needed to pass? [/COLOR][/SIZE]
