Instantcert for Credit By Examination

Hey i'm new to this so just wanted to ask a quick question. My school doesn't allow CLEP credits but does give credit by examination where if you get a 80% or higher you get credit and exemption from the course. I'm taking Macroecon and Microecon in 3 weeks and wanted to know if the questions on the CLEP would be the same on a college comprehensive exam. Thanks

Hopefully, someone else will jump on board, until you get a more comprehensive answer directly to your question. Let's keep it going, so that may happen.
All I can share, is that I "challenged" two subjects with my college, which is what they called this. One was a subject I knew, as I teach it already. The other one, I asked what the requirements were, asked if there was a specific textbook I might use to prepare and the school told me which book it was based upon. You might want to get to the department head/chair and see if they will share this type of information.

I agree with Judy. When I give a college challenge exam it is usually the same as a comprehsive course final exam. It would be best to know the text book it is based on and also to get a look at the course syllabus so you know what material is covered in the actual course. I believe the IC flashcards would give you some good basic coverage of the subject matter, but normally I only recommend challenge exams for subject matter that you know well, such as you already took the course but it is too old for credit or you it is in a subject that you work with on a daily basis etc. Good luck!

When I took Macro and Microecon in a B&M environment, the finals were quite a bit tougher than the CLEP exams. Get the textbooks used for the courses and syllabuses.

Are the answers multiple choice? This could make it significantly more difficult. Does your college accept Straighterline credits? That could be a cheaper way to get your macro and micro done in case you don't do well on the tests.
