That is a tough call. According to the REA chart in the US History I book which is also a 120 question exam, 68% of the questions correct would be an 81 raw score and a 69 scaled score. I think they tend to be on the generous side of things. For instance, on this chart you can get 20 questions wrong and still get an 80 (perfect score).
According to the formula ShotoJuku likes, 120 questions would be worth .5 points each, so adding 40 (81 times .5) to a base score of 20 would give a scaled score of 60.
Plus with Gill18's experience, it is even harder to tell what your score means.
Sorry, this isn't really any help, but it gives you some ways to look at it so you can make sure you are prepared.
I have read on the board that the sound quality on the CLEP exam can be poor. That would add to the challenge.
My best wishes on your exam!
