I track my progress in a text file as I go along (posted below if you'd like to do something similar). For most tests I go through the study material 3 times but this one I only did twice because it's so long. On my first run through Humanities I only got 32.2% correct overall, including a whopping 7.7% in the Non-Fiction 2 subsection. I just took a LOT of notes as I did it, and then I seriously studied each section from my notebook before I went through it again. I also always take test in the CLEP Official Study Guide before I take the real one. Some of the questions on the real test will be the exact same questions. In the end I scored a 70.

Good luck!
