Love that Free Win Ratio LLL. Encouraged my brother to knock exams out while he was in the Airforce years ago but it just wasn't his thing. He is now a Fire Captain and jokes about being glad he didn't waste time on those darn CLEP/DSST exams

Ideas Wrote:I want to do two CLEP/DSST in a day, but the test centers aren't set up for that in my area.
It would really save me time on travel if I could speed through a few CLEPs in a day.
Ran into this same problem also, I found a test center about an hour away that could do it but the time saved by double or triple testing would have only been worth it if I knew I was going to pass them all or one was at least a 6cr CLEP. Then my test center switched it to once a month which made the further one a lot more appealing, however, I am all done with CLEP now so it doesn't matter. Look around you might be able to find one.

Three in three hours. All online / at home.
I plan on doing two today.
Historically, I have a photographic memory. And, I read, very, very quickly. I either know it, or I don't, and my flowchart for don't is pretty quick, too.
I find myself increasingly struggling since starting school. With my age, I guess that's a good thing.
God has blessed me with all passes, so far, but I am apprehensive about the Davar test. First one for me not based on previous chapter quizzes, so I have no previous recognition of the question.
Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies Thomas Edison State University 2018
Cert in Emergency Management - Three Rivers CC 2017
Cert in Basic Police Ed - Walters State CC 1996
Current Goal: new job
Working on: securing funding I don't have to pay back for a Masters.
Up Next: Toying with Masters Programs
Finished: First Degree
Older Experience with: PLA / Portfolios, RPNow, Proctor U, ACE, NCCRS, DAVAR Academy (formerly Tor), Straighterline, TESU, Ed4Credit, Study.com, The Institutes, Kaplan, ALEKS, FEMA IS, NFA IS, brick & mortar community colleges, LOTS of vocational schools...

A good thing?
Did you see the "chapter quizzes" folder?
Good luck!

I've only taken two exams a day (this is for Straighterline finals). Just the ones with the open book finals.
For closed book finals, I book them 3 days after I finish or close to finishing the course, so I retain the info.
I don't like to burn out (like I did with the ALEKS courses), took me a while to "recover" from that burnout.
