College Mathematics CLEP Triumph
#1
A True Hollywood Story…….for those of us who just suck at math.


Today I attempted the computer based College Mathematics Clep for the third time. I passed barely with a score of 51 (you have to love knowing your score right away, you just can’t beat it).

The previous two times I attempted this exam, I tried every known study material (except instacert) to prepare myself without any success. I studied REA, Standard Deviants, Math Media, Passyourclep, I.E> everything!!!. The first two scores I got were a 47 and a 49. All I needed was a 50!!!! Frustrated and disappointed, I waited yet another 6 months to retake the test. EERRR!!!!:mad: :mad:

So, for the third time I decided to try using the instacert website. I figured, what the hell, I’m willing to give it a shot.

Amazing, I found the instacert flash cards and database of questions with detailed explanations to be extremely helpful because there were no complicated explanations, just plain answer descriptions for a bunch of ungodly complicated problems. Anyways, I studied for seven whole days and nights (compared to two months of study for each of the previous attempts). Confident I took the exam and passed. FYI…If I failed this time I was going to give up.

So, give instacert a good whole-hearted try. What’s the worst that could happen? You fail? I did, TWICE, before I considered using instacert.



I graduate with an Associates of Applied Science Degree in Aviation Maintenance Technology, from Eastern New Mexico University of Roswell this semester.
