Welcome to the forum, Since we are all different and the tests are a Pass or Fail on your transcript there are usually two philosophies regarding exam score, the first is work hard and get the highest score possible for personal satisfaction. The second is work the key areas of an exam to perfection, ignore the rest and walking in to exam and score well enough to receive a Pass. I was of the former group but with 80 credits in I'm like "A pass is a pass why go above and beyond a pass!" I need to save my energy for the graded classes that I need to do, my scores are attached below but remember that as long as you score above 52 on a CLEP any college which accepts them will put them on your transcript. Yes some colleges require you to score better than the ACE recommended pass rate. It depends were you want to go to college.
Don't forget that gaining college credit by taking exams is one of the reason's we're here. That's mainly possible through the flashcards made available by the owner of this forum : InstantCert Plus of course your hard work in learning and reviewing

All I can say is use ACDC Macroeconomics by Mr. Clifford on youtube. The guy is a life saver. He explains all the concepts you need to know about the exam, just pay close attention to all the videos. I studied this course for just over 2 weeks, but I think I could of finished it in a week and a half of study. As I said, I watched all 5 units of Mr. Cliffords Macro videos (twice), watched the 15 min review (very helpful),and took the 2 REA practice tests. On the REA tests, i scored a 57 and 58, and on the 2 petersons tests I took, about 55% and above. I also took the OCSG a few days before i tested, and got a 64% on that. So, Study, study, study the acdc vidoes, take the petersons tests and study those, and I think in about 2 weeks you will be prepared to take the test. It is not a terribly hard test, just know all the graphs and how each of them shift around. Once again, Mr. Clifford ACDC will help you past this test with no problem. Good luck on your test!

Mr. Clifford is definitely an asset to whatever school he works for. I also mainly used him for micro made a 59 didn't really watch it all but once googled a few concepts but that's about it. Not quite a 60 but I had all the time consuming ones up front so I didn't have time to go back through my answers so I'm sure I could have scored better but I knew I passed my last 20 were all pretty much definitions almost. I've also passed marketing an management with upper 50s but i took them same day with one night of studying so 60 with minimal effort in those two is def achievable. Good luck and thanks

I'm Willing to be a tester of this. Here is a list of exams I plan on taking. You guys/girls pick which one you want me to attempt using only IC and I will report back once completed. Human Growth And Development, Introduction to Educational Psychology, Western Civilization I, Western Civilization II, American Government, English Literature, Humanities, Macroeconomics. Just as a notice, I have already taken Sociology and Psychology with different study materials and I'm currently taking Microeconomics class. (didn't want to but didn't have anything else to fill in for this semester, wanted to CLEP it). I need to take other ones but I don't feel confident enough to use just IC for them.

Not Going to be able to do this one legit. Plan on taking a few of the English ones prior to this and that would be considered more studying then IC because the exams overlap.
