Wow. This is more than humorous. I'm glad someone stumbled across it again or I may have never seen it.

Excellent work, Snazzlefrag!

I'm afraid I've already taken the first (five) tests, however, and must deal with the consequences. Big Grin

WOW, now I understand why I just have to take another test instead of a class. What a wonderful sense of humor. But really, I laughed till I cried, but inside I really feel like I just want to continue testing instead of doing classes. It is addictive.

That was the greatest! Snazz wrote it a few months before I first found the group, and I hadn't seen it before. It's timely for me now, as I took my last CLEP in April 2009. I'm taking an ECE 15-week course now, and it's *different*. <sniff>

In the fall, I have some DSSTs to take. Maybe they will fill my CLEP void, if only a little.

This is most definitely a classic post! I understand exactly how he felt when he wrote that. Too bad nobody around me understands the jubilation of passing a clep that I studied so hard for.

Heck, most of the time when I try to explain what a clep is to someone, their eyes just sorta glaze over.

We are trailblazers!
