Am Gov. was the first test I took. I used IC exclusively and I didn't know about the Specific Feedback forum that would have made some very good suggestions on what to study. Two days before taking the test, I ambled into Barnes & Noble and found the REA book on Am. Govt. - I sat in the store and went through the questions only. When I took the clep, I passed the test with a 68, which at the time, I didn't realize was a pretty good score. The test is tough, mainly because it concentrates on your interpretation of facts as opposed to dates and stuff.
You might want to amble over to free clep prep .com - The fellow there offers a very realistic assessment of Am. Govt. and tons of study materials.
Just remember one thing - cleps are scored 50-80 - 80 being 100% and 50 being passing (it depends on what your school accepts).
Good luck.
