Best order for Clep business/finance tests?

I'm hoping to go in and take 3 CLEPS on Saturday.
I'll be taking:
Analyzing and Interpreting Literature (Peterson Practice test 1, 76%)
Introductory Sociology (Peterson Practice test 1, 78%)
Information Systems  (Peterson Practice test 1, 77%)

I took a Peterson practice test for each of them. I only took one practice test each out of the three available because I wanted to still have one to use if I need to study more and practice test again. I know that retakes don't count, so, only used one practice test.

Are my scores good enough to take the CLEP tests?

I always found there to be a fair amount of difference between the Peterson tests and the real thing, so I always made sure to use multiple sources when studying. At the least, I'd incorporate the InstantCert flashcards with the Peterson tests. I'd also recommend using the REA sample exams as well.

Ultimately it's up to your level of tolerance. You generally need a 70% to pass, so if you feel that getting 76-78% on the practice tests (which I always assume to have at least a 20% margin of error) is good enough, then go for it. Personally, I didn't sit tests until I was able to hit 90% or better on the practice tests and was able to get through all the flashcards, but I tend to be conservative and don't want to come back to retake a test considering the costs and inconvenience of travel. Though given they're free through Modern States, I might be less conservative now.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
