I need to pass US History I so I can start my teaching program at WGU (they wouldn't take my Western Civ I & II as my history- I have a BS already) Should I just study hard the rest of the week (been at this a month) and take a shot on the CLEP Monday? I feel like I'm never going to get this stuff down!
Oh and I got a 61 on the REA test in the book. don't know if that makes a difference.
Review your REA for the rest of the week and put this bad boy behind you. You are probably on the pass line, and the test bank is random- so you may end up with a good chunk of questions based on the areas you know well, and knock it out of the park...or they could sneak in a few of your weaker areas and cause you to fall short. Just study the REA and schedule it. Memorize the constitution stuff and brain dump if necessary. Worse thing you can do now is start going too deep. Remember to keep it general . Stick with one book- if you hit the internet, you're going to spin off course. Schedule it now, don't keep dragging it out. I always found that I did my best study in the day or two before the test. Good Luck!
