Taking a CLEP with little/no prior knowledge?
#1
Hey all,

I'm new here and I was wondering if any of you have ever decided to take one of the lower level CLEP/DANTES for a subject that you didn't know all that much about.

Is it possible to simply choose a subject, study like nuts, and pass comfortably?

Thanks.

ps, this place rocks!

That's the name of the game here! Not just lower level either; many of us take UL exams on subjects we originally had little to no knowledge of. It's simply a matter of dedication and studying the right material.

Check the 'Specific Exam Feedback' section. There's a ton of great info on what many of us have done to prepare.

I'll be taking Natural Sciences in the near future. It's mostly about biology and chemistry, both of which are Greek to this History major. I'm finding the study for this a bit more challenging than the Humanities exam, which I could have passed without studying at all.

me thinks I'll be spending quite a bit of time on these boards!
