Invited to CLEP Market Research Session!!!
#11
Quote:What an interesting group. They were savvy enough to attempt CLEP exams for college credit yet somehow apparently don't know how to type "CLEP" in a Google search. A lack of accessible test prep. info????

I nearly broke the skin while biting my tongue. I really felt like saying "Did you ever considering googling "clep preparation" or "credit by examination" or typing "clep" into the amazon search box." Many of these people were b & m graduates. It just kind of blew me away, especially considering that these people likely had to research a variety of topics as part of their studies, not to mention that some of them were graduate students.


Quote:Thanks for going out there and representing for the ICers.

You're welcome!!! They paid me a $100 for an hour and a half, fed me, gave me some sodas... I have to hand it to the college board; while the clep software may look like a relic from 15 years ago they do hire some top notch people to do their market research.

Just amazing. I still can't get over it. It seems so "duh" to me! Google is my friends, and will be unless they decide to take over the world. Wink

Do you think they complained about available material because they couldn't find anything, or more because what they did find didn't help them pass?
