I took these today with virtually no studying and passed them. I know I didn't get the greatest scores but if I told you I studied more than 4 hours for all of the exams combined I'd be lying.
Astronomy is very doable, I breezed through spark notes and had some cheesy time life book and gazed through that.
Social Science, I took US history 1 and 2 and it helped a bit with this exam. I didn't take any Economic classes but if you know with GDP is and GNP you can pretty much answer those questions with common sense
Org Behavior DSST was the hardest of the day. But I literally studied an hour before the exam.
The DSST book is great, I would recommend buying that book. I like IC but I think it gets boring going through flash cards. The DSST book gives you exactly what you need to pass the exams.

Is that right?!?!?! You just went in and coldly took 4 exams, and passed all 4?! You may have just won the 'ballsiest dude I know' award. CONGRATS X4!!! (this will likely be the only time I ever get to say that!)
You can't fail if you never give up

lol thanks, I only took 3 exams. I lost my motivation to study and I was like screw it.
I went in and took them. I wouldn't say cold but I would say very minimal studying involved. Social Sciences was cold but I already took other cleps that helped. Astronomy I studied for about 3 hours and Org behavior was about an hour of study

Great job! 12 credits in an afternoon is nothing to sneeze at!

Hello there. I am scheduled to take the Astronomy test on Wednesday, should I just rely on instantcert study guide?
Can you give me guidance to what I should focus on for the couple days I have put aside to go through the flashcards.
Thank you for your assistance.
