Hi,
I was wondering of the Crash Course vidoes on YT were any good for CLEP prep. Could they be my only source to pass? Has anyone used them exclusively to pass a CLEP?

This isn't helpful for your question, as I haven't had to use CLEP, but I love those videos. Even if just to gain some personal knowledge. I've used them as refreshers for actual online courses and they were great and generally a fun way to review.

I have found them to be generally well made and useful, mildly humorous, but I don't think I would rely on them exclusively for CLEP preparation.

The only thing I used for all of my CLEPs was Instantcert flashcards.

Also, someday maybe a MS in Forensic Psychology, just for fun. Oh, and a BS in Animal Behavior. And, maybe when I'm 85 a PhD in something fun.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
