Hello, Welcome to the forum, and Congrats on nearing completion of your degree!
I too was a bit intimidated with the Info Systems CLEP. I studied my keester off using the IC cards and totally bombed the Peterson's tests; it really shook my confidence in my ability to pass the real exam. Thanks to the encouragement from several members on this forum, I went ahead and took the test anyway and earned an A. Just as Peterdude stated, the Peterson's tests are much more difficult than the real tests, the Info Systems practice tests were ridiculously more difficult; almost like they were for a completely different subject. I personally wouldn't suggest taking them as they did more damage than good. If you have the info on the IC cards memorized (questions, answers AND explanations) you will do fine. Good Luck!
