The reason I ask is, I am attending a 4-year traditional college that allows me to CLEP 30 credit hours of electives. I am trying to do this while also taking 1 traditional seated class, and 1 online class (both through the college). I am averaging about 5-6 hours of study time through IC a week. Does this sound sufficient?
Obviuosly without knowing my study habits and capacity, I don't expect anyone to give me an exact timeframe on preparedness, just trying to get an idea from those that take these exams every 3-4 weeks.
I am taking US History I and II, American Goverment, Business Law, and a few others once I get those out of the way. I only need 19 credits, the rest are coming from traditional means.
Thanks in advance...
I was enrolled in 12 credits of traditional school last semester, and managed to test out of 33 credits of classes during the same time. I was ALWAYS studying, and rarely saw my wife and kid, but at least I got it over with. I found that, with the help of IC, I enjoyed studying for tests much more than taking traditional courses. I could have tested out of much more, maybe twice as much, if I had not been taking so many traditional credits. I never studied for more than 2 weeks for any one test, even while enrolled in traditional school.
good luck!
