Thanks for taking us along with you...there isn't much feedback out there for this one. Sounds like you're preparing yourself well. Best of luck on Friday!!

I went in today to take the CLEP Chemistry and The system was down. The soonest I can take it is The 3rd So then I will post my score. I am not mad though. I will just use this extra weekend to increase my chances, But I was all excited. So kind of a let down. Ok one more time for good measure.

Next Post: My score:

Hey MM,

Sorry to hear about the delay, but glad you have a few more days of study time. Just wanted to post a few other resources for anyone thinking about taking this exam. This list is for chem novices (like myself)-

Rader's CHEM4KIDS.COM
CHEMTUTOR
Chemistry Study Guides - SparkNotes
Virtual Chemistry Textbook
MIT OpenCourseWare | Chemistry | 5.111 Principles of Chemical Science, Fall 2005 | Video Lectures

Chemistry for Dummies- John T. Moore, Ed.D
Chemistry Demystified- Linda Williams
Chemistry Concepts & Problems- Clifford C. Houk, Richard Post

Good luck!

My Score: 47

Yours will hopefully be better.

I clearly lost the test on molarity and mass questions by far. I just seemed to draw a blank formula wise. Preperation in that area is necessary. This sets me back and it adds time to my degree. So, yeah I wanted to have this one, however My failure will be in route to success not the deciding factor. If you give yourself 6 weeks instead of 4 or you are extremely talented in Chemistry I am confident you will pass. Give it your best.

Petersons was helpful.

Chemistry Concepts was on point. and the study guide was there

It was formulas involved with moles where I seemed to draw a blank. And other areas probably with reactions. All the best to you guys and I think its passable. Just give yourself the time necessary. One tip. Dont fret about the old Periodic Table before the test. just know how to USE it. You will see what I mean if you take the electronic version of the test.

Sincerely, Sadly and ina little bit of pain

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. Too bad. Glad you're not letting it keep you from your end goal.

So sorry to hear about your exam today. Some things to keep in mind:
This test has one of the lowest pass rates of any CLEP/DSST--it ain't easy.
You can always retake it in six months and still make your 2010 graduation goal (think of this as a practice run). With score of 47, you're bound to knock it out of the park next time.
