I need to pass 2 CLEP exams by the 27th, please help

[BF21]

I need to pass two clep exams by the 27th of this January. I have been looking over some material of certain topics but do not really know what to take. I like to think I am okay at most subjects but not exactly really strong at one in particular. I have been thinking of Marketing, Analyzing and interpreting literature, college algebra and management. What is the best way to study ? Again I need to pass ASAP and also how can I take peterson test ? Thanks.

What is the need to pass two exams coming from? Have you taken any exams? What are your degree plans?

A&I is pretty simple.

It is due to eligibility purposes.

BF21, your college should have a list of CLEP exams they take on their website. Check to make sure they will accept these exams before you take them. How many credits do you need to complete?

Also, will any college credit work, or does it have to be a CLEP test? If you need 6 credits, for example, you could take the no-cost, online, Kaplan PLA course for 3 hours, and three one-hour National Fire Academy online classes, for 6 no-stress hours to put on an ACE transcript to transfer to your school... IF your university accepts ACE credits.

Another option might be to take online FEMA classes (another low-stress option) and have them transcripted at Frederick Community College for $80 per credit. This is spendy, but very manageable, and the credits would be on an actual college transcript instead of an ACE transcript.

Hello, If your school will accept Analyzing and interpreting you could really brush up for a few days and then take it. You can knock out two cleps by the 27th for sure! Good luck.

I agree A&I is doable for 6 units. Read the back of the REA book where it gives you the info on why one answer is correct and another is not. It helps you know how to think on the exam.

I am going to take the A & I as well as either college mathematics, marketing or algebra. Any suggestions ? The only bad thing about the A&I is I will have to write an essay after as well for my school. Any info on that ? What it asks you to do ? Thanks.

BF21, if you're taking a math-related exam be aware that many colleges won't let you get credit for a lower level math course if you have already completed a higher level.

What test is easiest varies per person, but one list is here Clep Difficulty List - Free-Clep-Prep.com

I hope you're able to reach your goal so your eligibility continues.

BF21, the essay portion of A & I does not have any bearing on your CLEP score; it is forwarded by CLEP (after receiving from your test center) to your school. You might want to ask your school what they will be using it for. Be aware that these essays need to be ordered by your test center from CLEP (and you will need to pay an additional $10 for this). Some candidates like to complete the multiple-choice portion of the exam and the essays in the same day; others like to plan these to take place on different days (some candidates don't even want to order the essays until they see that they have received a passing score on the MC). No matter what, make sure to talk with your test center so this can be planned. The MC is 90 minutes and the two essays are given 90 minutes.

Since I hate writing essays I would recommend doing both college mathematics and college algebra, but I like math. If that's not possible I would substitute one for marketing. I remember that one being pretty easy
