Hey everyone,
I recently found out that I need to pass the Humanities CLEP (it is the only one I can take-I cannot substitute any other exams) by the end of December in order to graduate in Spring. I took a Pearson Practice test to get a baseline and was discouraged to find I only scored a 44. I picked up the REA CLEP book and have started reading. I noticed that by using the REA scoring guidelines I actually would have passed the Pearson practice test! I was just wondering if anyone knew if the Pearson tests were a little harder than the actual test? I still have a few weeks to study and take practice tests so I know I can improve my score. It was just discouraging to see a failing grade. Also I have already searched the threads here, does anyone have any other advice for the Humanities exam? Since I need this to graduate I am just a little stressed out over it. Thanks everyone!
