    I have to agree with everyone that the peterson paractice tests along with IC is by far enough to pass this test. I also purchased the Comex book and it went into more detail about some of the info but the extra info was not really needed for the basis of the test. I was scoring about 65 on the peterson practice tests, so I think you should do fine with obtaining a 65.

    Good luck to you!


    Welcome to the IC Group.....AND.....Great Job on your FIRST EXAM!!!!

    Hearty Welcome to the IC Forum also and Congratulations on a great score.

    This was my first CLEP (of many) also and it is IMHO one of the easiest of the bunch for Bus majors. It definitely gets your appetite whetted for more exams. By the way, I used the COMEX guide you mentioned along with IC as well.

    Good luck on your next attempts. Be sure to come back and post your scores.

    I just passed my first clep exam last week, American Government with a 73. I'm off to take Principles of Management in about two hours. I discovered Instacert a week ago, loved the flashcards, and also used the REA book.....I'll post my score when I get back...wish me luck.

    Congratulations on your AG score nwbo,

    It's not easy to score so high on that exam. So well done!

    Best of luck on your management exam. I doubt you will have much trouble with it.

    Do well,
    Snazzlefrag

    Woohoo! I got a 76 this morning.

    Either the REA book of the instacert flashcards would have been sufficient to score the required 50.

    VERY well done! I'll bet it felt great when you saw your score!

    I've just decided that I'm going to squeeze that test inbetween taking two DANTES tests in a couple weeks, especially since everyone here has said it's one of the easiest.

    Keep up the good work!
