I'm planning on doing more and more CLEP/DSST's because honestly, I like this approach better.
I just have a few questions on studying for a few exams, the Intro to Computing and A&I Literature. I hear both are fairly "easy" but I don't want to walk in cold on either and fail them both (or either for that matter).
I'd say I'm very good with a computer and am planning to major in computers (A+ Certified too), but the Peterson's scores I'm getting aren't calming my nerves (72, 69, 70). I'd like to buy IC right now, but I'm waiting for my next paycheck and I want to do these while school has barely started with my load being low. (next Friday)

Those Petersen's scores are actually very good. Most people can score in the 50's on the Petersen's then score over 60 (A) on the actual exams. You should do fine! Good luck!

If I'd known I was gonna complete my degree thru TESC in the first place I could've saved thousands on tuition by testing out of the majority of my credits. The earlier you come to that conclusion the better off you will be.

Seriously?
Well, I'm not as uneasy anymore then! I was just worried because I did the same thing with Precalc and barely passed with a 53 and I'm pretty good at Math (minus the unit circle).
I guess I'm going to try out the Analyzing and Interpreting Literature Peterson's as well.

I'm going to schedule these soon.
I'm planning on also taking Management Information Systems along with Intro to Computing. Is there anything else I should be going through especially, I looked through Free Clep Prep, but I worry that covers only the older version of these tests. Idk if should hold of on A&I Literature until I finish both.
