Just passed my first CLEP exam, Principles of Management, with a respectable 63. Thanks to this forum and all of the great feedback and advice which had me going in relatively confident while not wasting too much time over preparing. Went through the IC and the College Board material a couple of times and spent approximately 10 total hours preparing. Also reviewed some of the study notes that Brittany had so graciously shared.
The level of difficulty was about what I had expected, and considering that I recently passed a very challenging PMP (Project Management Professional) exam which touched on some of the same topics as this CELP, my study strategy seemed to be about right.
Walked over to the Miami Dade College testing center on my lunch break since it is near where I work. Turned out not to be such a bright idea considering that between the registration process and the dang workstation I was taking the test on crashed twice (took some discipline to not let this become a distraction), I was away from the office for over two hours. Next time will need to tell the boss Iâm going to be out for a long lunch to avoid the anxiety of wondering if anyone was trying to get a hold of me half way through the test when I was incommunicado. Allâs well that ends well, though⦠Next up, Principles of Marketing. Thanks again one and all!

Great score! Good luck on your next test. I am in a marketing class right now, actually it ends tomorrow. I have been really enjoying the class. Are you getting your degree in business??? Again may I say Good Luck!

Good for you. Are you testing out on the whole degree? Do you already have some credits?

Congratulations! Doesn't it feel GREAT? That first CLEP was so stressful for me, but you sound like you took it in stride.

Iâve got 21 transfer credits from Excelsior for my various IT and Professional certifications and my Cisco Network Academy coursework. Looks like I will need to take 2 or 3 courses with Excelsior and the remainder I am planning to test out of. Being the 50 year old geezer that I am, gonna try to do this thing on a budget and a relative fast track. Seems a bit daunting at this stage, but I will just create a project plan for myself and tackle the exams one at a time...

So you are over 40 and fabulous! There are many of us on the boards that are at that number and even higher. Good Luck with your degree and just keep plugging away at it. Before you know it its done.

Donât know about fabulous, but my 6- and 3-year-old daughters definitely make me feel young at heart and motivate me to be the best I can be...
