Thanks again!!
Spazz,
The REA book is completely unrelated to the Peterson mock exams. They are two separate resources.
The Peterson mocks used to be freely available through a "back door" for military personnel. However, they are in the process of shutting down access to them. It is possible that they have succeeded in this effort, in which case we will no longer be able to access them without a military activation code.
REA is the author of a line of study guides, each covering a different CLEP or DANTES exam. You must purchase each book you need from somewhere like amazon.com or half.com.
I have used several of the REA study books and, on the whole, they are quite good. For some subjects, REA may not be the best choice of study guide. Other options include Rudman's, COMEX, Cliff's Notes, Barron's, and Kaplan.
You can go to amazon.com or half.com and do a search for any of the above names and you should find a whole host of potential study resources.
Sometimes, Instantcert alone is enough to pass an exam. Where additional resources are recommended, you will often find various posts on this board alluding to which additional resources are helpful (either books or web sites). Or you can ask for advice if you don't find what you are looking for in the existing threads.
Hope that helps,
