It was this time of year two years ago that I found CLEP tests and this forum. I can't believe it has been that long but it has.
Boy do I miss the rush of getting a new REA book, reading it cover to cover, and then trying my hand at the practice tests. I can tell you that graduate education is fulfilling but nothing beats the rush of the CLEP/DSST test experience.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
Wishing I was an undergrad..

I wish I had done more exams over the courses I sat. Very little compared to the happy rush of knowing an hour or two in front of a proctored computer completed 3 more credits for a fraction of the cost and put me one check mark on the evaluation closer to being done.

Yeah, if I had known before about all of this I'd have taken every one I could years ago for free while I was in the military. At least I completed 7 (1 was a DSST) at the time. Too bad they don't have CLEP and DSST exams for grad level.

We are truly weird here. It seems like most of the people I come across are afraid of high-stakes testing. I love it!

I agree CLEP and DSST exams are great! I am glad that I have been able to take full advantage of them.
I have already been missing them even though it is only 7 months since my last CLEP and 5 months since my last DSST. Although TECEP exams and Straighterline courses are also great, they are not the same as the CLEP/DSST experience.
