This is the second CLEP test I've finished. I took US History II this past May and got a 64. And despite having a fever yesterday, I took US History One today and got a 69. (Phew!) Glad I finished that!
That means I have 6 credits completed, 8 in progress via PSEO (with 4 more planned), and a number of CLEP credits planned. I hope to get between 45 and 50 credits, which means I'll be graduating from highschool with almost half of my bachelor's degree complete.
So, which test should I take next? I'm thinking seriously about Sociology. Humanities, College Math, and English Composition are all on the immediate agenda as well.
(Do you guys ever get bored during tests? I had to force myself to go through that last review of the questions.)

Dear Ruddigore,
Yes, this is from your dear mother. I just want to say that I'm proud of you for sticking with this, not just for the good score, but that you didn't give up even when you were getting over being sick. Okay, I won't get too sentimental, but you
are my most favorite son!
Signed,
Your most favorite mom

Ruddigore, congratulations on US History. It's fantastic that you have the ability and the motivation to do this at such a young age. Mom, you've got a heck of a boy there!
I too wind up losing steam at the end, and frankly, I'm of the opinion that your first look at a question is usually right. The last three exams I've purposefully refused to review, regardless of how much time I have available.
I haven't taken any of the exams your pending list, so I'll leave the recommendations to others. Best of luck
Matt

Ya know what? You're kickin' butt!
I'm a homeschool mom too, so let me just keep encouraging you to go forward and do not stop! It doesn't matter what test you take next, pick one that interests you. I'm just giddy over all young people taking advantage of earning college credit during high school.
Do I get bored?....I shouldn't say this, but I never review my answers. I'm usually too nervous and try to get out of there as quick as possible. In fact, I will admit to probably answering too quickly and have probably missed a few due to careless understanding of the question. So, I don't get bored, I race- it's not a good example. If I remember correctly, I think my anthropology exam took me something like 25 minutes :eek:
I think if you can make yourself go back through and check your answers, (and clearly your scores are good, so you are doing something right) then just keep doing what your doing!! Don't worry about how everyone else does it, we are all just trying to figure it out as we go too.
All the best!!!
