Help! Social Sciences and History - annegirl - 10-07-2008
I am scheduled to take the SS & History CLEP this Thursday. I got a 69% on the CLEP pre test. I've done 2 full Petersen's tests and only gotten 43% on both of them. I'm going through the IC flashcards but there is so much to assimilate I'm not sure it's helping....
Are these scores good enough to get a pass? I haven't failed a CLEP yet and I really don't want to start now, but I don't really want to reschedule....any ideas?
Thanks!

What area is weak? Is it history? History is 50%, so if you say it's history, I say reschedule.
Pick subjects that you know well and study those harder. It may seem counter-intuitive, but if you KNOW you'll nail every psych question, or every govt. question, you raise your odds.

What I'm missing seems to be scattered in a couple of different areas. I just feel very overwhelmed with the amount of material that could be studied.

Hey Autumn! It's your HSA buddy here!
Something you might consider is going through the IC flashcards for the US History I & II tests, Psychology and Sociology. Those will be more in-depth than the actual SS&H test but might give you a better overview.
When you say "on the CLEP pre-test" are you talking about the Official CLEP study guide test? Because if you're scoring a 69% on that, you should be more than ready to pass the real thing.

Yes, I'm getting a 69 on the official study test. Thanks for the info...I feel a leetle better!
I think I will follow your advice on the flashcards. Congrats on the degree by the way!!
