Just wanted to brag for a minute.
Today my 15 yr old dd passed Intro to Sociology, her first CLEP test. She has other credits but not due to CLEPS. I am just thrilled for her.
My 17 yr old DS took the Sociology clep about 3 weeks ago and passed also. Thrilled for him too.
These forums are great! Feed-back is just invaluable!
Now on to studying for their next test.

Thanks for the congrats, I will pass them on.
For the younger crowd, what we did was go over IC cards really well, take lots of tests. Though the main thing I think I stress to the kids, is not just to read the information but to WRITE it also. I believe that's what really concretes the info into their brains. Lots of note taking.
I left feedback for each child in the specific exam section on the different websites that we used. I'd be glad to pass the sites on to you if you're not a subscriber, just let me know.
Also when doing the REA test, to go over the reasons for the correct and incorrect answers, I really think that helps a lot.
Good luck to your children, the test is doable with enough prep.
