Best Book for CLEP: College Algebra

<p>Does anyone know what the best book is?</p>

<p>What is the highest score you could get?</p>

<p>Thanks =]</p>

<p>Do you need a book to teach yourself the subject matter? Or are you looking for a test-prep book? </p>

<p>If you need a refresher on college algebra, I’d suggest [Khan</a> Academy](<a href=“http://www.khanacademy.org/]Khan”>http://www.khanacademy.org/) or [Virtual</a> Math Lab - College Algebra](<a href=“http://www.wtamu.edu/academic/anns/mps/math/mathlab/col_algebra/index.htm]Virtual”>Virtual Math Lab - College Algebra).</p>

<p>To prepare for the test, I’d recommend taking practice tests. Sources for practice tests are here: [Degree</a> Planners - Sample Questions and Practice Tests](<a href=“HugeDomains.com”>HugeDomains.com)</p>

<p>The College Algebra CLEP has 60 multiple choice questions, and it’s scored on a scale of 20 to 80. Colleges set their own requirements for passing, but the American Council on Education recommends 50 as passing at a C and 63 as passing at a B. So if your college accepts this CLEP, chances are the score they require is between 50 and 63. (In my experience, 50 is the most common passing score.)</p>
