You'll want to search the site for additional tips on this exam, but. . .
1. Check to see if there's a Peterson's practice test for this exam. That will give you a good idea of where you stand, quickly. Don't feel bad if you bomb it the first time through, as the Peterson's exams are MUCH harder than the actual CLEPs.
2. If you've signed up for the InstantCert program, make use of their flash cards, etc. and drill, drill, drill. This may actually prove to be more than enough to get you by.
3. Realize that if you work with computers every day, that'll help you WAY more than you can imagine right now. This exam will probably focus more on how businesses use computers than the bits and bytes of it.
4. Don't rush too furiously to take the exam. Granted, you have very little time left, but the more time you can give yourself to study the better you'll feel. For many, cramming too furiously can give extra stress with too few results to show for it.
All I can tell you. Good luck.
