    There isn't any singular formula that will work for all of the exams, in fact it's a closely guarded secret with the college board - .

    You can however take comfort in the notion that in all probability if you get at least half of the questions correct on an exam you should pass.

    Business Law! eesh. I took this one, it's not bad at all. I learned some basic terminology type stuff, and some of it is basic info needed to survive in this world. I used the Comex study guide for Introductory Business Law in addition to the IC. It worked great. I didn't do exceedingly well on it (a 55), but I passed and that's all that matters. (oh and just a side note, if you take Business Law II, it's much much harder) Good luck!

    The REA Guide to Marketing has a conversion table in it for converting their test score into an approximation of a CLEP score, though it states very clearly that this is not indicative of your actual score but rather a gross estimate.
