Anytime you need information on CLEP, the best place to look for general information is the College Board website. Here is a link to the College Mathematics exam description which tells you what types of problems you can expect on the test:

Please check with your college before taking either CLEP. Not all schools grant credit for both of these exams. My college accepts the College Algebra CLEP, but not the College Mathematics CLEP. Also make sure that whichever one you’re interested in taking will meet your degree requirements. Your advisor can help you determine that.

I’ve not taken either of these tests yet, but for study resources, you may want to look into purchasing the REA books. They’re available on Amazon and contain a CD of practice tests. Make sure to read the reviews though, because some are better than others.

InstantCert is a good study resource. They offer study materials for the College Mathematics CLEP, but not for College Algebra. InstantCert is $ 20 a month, but will give you access to materials for all the tests that they currently offer (in case you plan to CLEP out of other courses). And if you aren’t happy, they have a money-back guarantee. If you decide to give InstantCert a shot, you can get $ 5 off your first month’s fee with coupon code “36438”.
