Just got back from taking this test. I was EXTREMELY NERVOUS since my scores on the REA practice tests were: 53, 56, 48.
I did so horribly on the Official CLEP study guide practice test that I didn't even bother to score it.
I am proud to say I passed today with a 66. The choices and the actual test were straightforward and not at all tricky like on the Practice tests. I was able to pretty much guess the last 10 questions since I was confident I had done well.
There were only 3 or 4 questions about literary terms. And only 2 passages that were written in Ye Olde English.
I have no idea why the practice tests are ten times more difficult than the actual test. Maybe they don't want people to complain if they pass the practice test(s) but fail the CLEP.
