Answer 1

It's funny how the more you study, the easier it is to pass a test! Seriously find a good study guide and put in the time and you should hopefully do well enough.

Here are some to consider:

Answer 2

I haven't taken this particular CLEP test, but the two resources that I've used almost exclusively for the CLEP tests that I have taken are the REA books and InstantCert.  I've been very happy with my test results using these resources.  You can find the REA books on Amazon or at most large bookstores. They cost around $25 and come with a CD of practice tests. Make sure to read the reviews for the specific test you're taking, as some of the REA books are better than others.

InstantCert is an online study resource. They charge a $20 a month fee, but you have access the study questions for many different subjects. They also have an excellent forum where people give feedback and advice on specific CLEP tests. If you're interested in checking it out, you can get $5 off your first month's fee with coupon code "36438".
