Sorry if this is answered elsewhere, things are a bit confusing on this board.
Ok I've been studying all month (using this site) and I just took two of the peterson's practice tests and got a 41 and 47% respectively. Am I doing something wrong? If so what?
Thanks for whatever!

You're not doing anything wrong! This test is kinda broad and it takes a while to study for it.
You're almost there! I usually sit the test when I can get 50% or more on the Petersen's. Just keep at it on the flashcards and make sure to go over the questions that you missed on the Petersen's (if you haven't already)
Good luck!

Did you have a weak spot on the test? I've been studying for the humanities but I'm nervous because I keep hearing negative stories about it.
Has anybody here passed the humanities test and maybe have some guidance for those of us who need it (like me)? Thanks in advance.

Also keep in mind, Peterson's questions seem designed to make you over-prepare a bit. Maybe it's intentional so you don't get over-confident. 47% on Peterson's would probably equal 60%-70% on the CLEP.

You guys were totally right, I nearly panicked for no reason lol. I took the final Peterson's and got a 53%. So I took the CLEP and got a 70 out of 80 score
.
I pretty much studied this site's materials and the practice tests answers I got wrong for about a month few hours a day. This past week I started on the Peterson's and for a minute there I thought all my prep was wasted but it worked out.
. I'm going to log(not that it's not needed anymore) off this site now so I may be not be able to respond but thanks again for the extra confidence boost!
