I have been working on IC (just studying for one test, US History II) for 3 weeks now. I feel like I have a much better grasp of events than I formerly did, but am not sure if I am actually ready to take the final test.
Is there a baseline I can go by to gauge when it's time? IC said to "try to get 90% at least 3 times in a row". Should I go through each subset of flashcards several times and check my score based on that? Or is there another way to figure this out?
Thank you!

I would suggest you see if you can get a copy of the CLEP official study guide from your library and take the practice test in there. I usually use practice tests scores to judge my readiness. It varies for every person, but the practice tests can be a nice indicator.

Thanks, HorseManiac (I like your username, BTW--I have two miniature horses). I had ordered that from the library last week and it is now in.  Is there a percent score that would indicate readiness when taking those (e.g. if I got __ out of 10)?

Thanks!! Well, it depends. There isn't a set number that you have to get in order to guarantee that you'll pass. Like I said it varies for each person..I usually like to try and be in the 60 - 70% range before I take a test.
Here's a post with some good information.... http://www.degreeforum.net/general-educa...post154295
Sorry I couldn't be more help. :o

There is a study guide available at History of the United States II CLEP Free Study Guide - Free-Clep-Prep.com They are usually helpful. A practice test is usually a good indicater if you only take it once. I usually try to get at least 60% correct. Remember you only need to get enough right to compare with what a C student could do. I also agree the specific exam feedback is worth its weight in gold

If you get above 65% on the Official Clep Study Guide practice test, and feel you have a good grasp of the material, you should be good On this test, be careful that you're learning not just "facts" but also social issues and feelings of the times.
