Sorry, had to mention it, and it wouldntve been possible without all the wise and helpful degreeforum people. Thank for everything guys!
Congrats!
I feel wiped just reading that you took four exams in two days of schedule.
I need to step up my pace... Very motivating post. How long did it take to study/prepare for the A&I Lit portion?

That's cool I need to start clepping! I never clepped an exam in my life!
I did College Algebra, General Calculus I, General Calculus II, Economics I, Economics II, Accounting I, Accounting II all from Straighterline in a week. 21 credits. I finished in one week! A day for each course basically. I used my brothers old community college textbooks and I reviewed them before I took the exams. Got A's in each subjects expect darn Calculus I, and Calculus II had a 88% and a 89%. Never was good in math. But I'm going to fight it , because the ones I got wrong we're fill in the blank! Either way I'm going to TESC so it'll be a "Pass"/Fail. Expect the ones being transferred to FHSU. So I can get a FHSU transcript for 15 credits lol.

Great job! My calc II was taught by a Russian teacher that could barely speak english. It was an engineering calculus class too so it was extra hard and sadistic. I got through it but had a C

If you're wondering why I chose to do this, it's because I have to take an international flight to get anywhere that offers CLEPs, so may as well make it epic and get'er'done in one shot. However I think these particular exams were sorta easy...
A&I Lit, more or less took cold. I did practice exams, but felt it was easy because I'm a reader, and love poetry.
French...well I think this is something you either know or you don't, can't learn it overnight.
College Math...I recently finished a lot of ALEKS courses and this is a JOKE by comparison!
Social Sciences and History...I was most worried about this one and so did it first, got it out of the way. I studied a fair bit, but there's just so much material, I feel my score might have been a little lucky.

A BIT of a high?! Wow! If I managed 30 credits in 2 days, I would have practically floated out of the testing center! AMAZING! Congratulations!
Just out of curiosity, how did you reward yourself after such an impressive accomplishment?

OK, that's it, I've had it. I am hereby enacting executive order #11875 making the act of obtaining more than six credits in one week a crime against the state with unlimited detention without trial. Break out the waterboards.
I mean seriously, why do you really want to make the rest of us look so bad? Do you hate us that much? :nopity:
Ok, "really" seriously now, congratulations!
My question to you and others who knock multiple tests out in one day or very close together, is this:
How the [bleep] do you do that?
I mean really, what are your study strategies and methods? What is your background on the material? How long/often do you study?
What is your secret mojo and how do I buy it?
I really think everyone else would benefit from knowing the elite training secrets of the superstar NFL running backs of CLEP testing...
