I just want to confirm this. Steer clear of the humanities exam unless it's one you absolutely have to take. I've taken 14 of these suckers and Humanities was the most difficult, by far. It's a mile wide and a mile deep.
Regarding passing tips, the greatest advice I can give is to never trust a single source of information. Collect practice exams and study content from multiple resources. No single resource will cover everything you need.
I definitely agree with others who stated that practice exams are your best indicator. Check to see if your school or library will give you access to the PrepStep exams through Learning Express Hub. They have two practice exams for each CLEP subject, and I've found them to be on-the-money.
I'm not the biggest fan of Instantcert's flash cards, but the subscription gives you access to the 'exam feedback' forum, and the resources in there are more than worth the cost of subscribing. That forum has been gold for me.
Don't get down about your first two exams. It's all part of the learning process and discovering more about how your brain works best. Once you find your best study routine, you'll be off to the races. I've found that I typically need a minimum of 30 hours of study time before I feel confident enough to test.
