WOW! Thanks for the help, everyone! This is cool....I had no idea I had a calculator. Next time I won't have to go rummaging in my desk for one...... hilarious

This has soothed my nervousness some about the test.

Hi. I have been studying with a tutor for two weeks and she says I need two more weeks before I am ready to take the exam. This whole thing scares the daylights out of me. I would appreciate any feedback from all of you guys. Should I get the Cracking the CLEP book? I already have the actual study guide for the CLEP. How useful is the material on the IC site? Thanks guys.

I just returned from taking the college math clep and I passed it with a 62. I spent about 2 1/2 weeks studying for this exam. I used Cracking the Clep and the Collegeboard study guide only. The test was fairly easy.

For a moment I was alittle confused because I was expecting to see more probability questions than what was on there. Maybe they were on there, but they were so easy that I didn't think of them as probability questions. No dice or card questions was on my test. I had exactly one question on domain and range. I had no function graphs at all. The test was so different than what I expected from the study material that I used. It was actually kind of easy to me. There were a few questions that I had to guess on like the Standard Deviation ones but overall, it was a pretty ok test.

Some of the logic statements had two parts, for example:
I. When it is Saturday and sunny Ben goes to the beach
II. Ben does not go to the beach
It then goes on to say that both statements are true and to pick one that goes with it from the choices below.

For anyone who may be stressing about taking this test, don't. I is a lot easier than you expect it to be. Good luck.

Next for me is the Natural Science CLEP. Wish me luck.

Congrats on passing the College Math exam! I barely passed with a 51 when I took it, but...when I took it, it had actually been many years since I had done ANY type of math, so it was pretty tough for me.
