CONGRATULATIONS!! That's a difficult test for your first one... took guts! Remember - "A pass is a pass"... your score doesn't matter - what does matter is that you just completed a full semester of Amer History, in a sitting - great job!
You can't fail if you never give up

I'm the king of procrastination. I first submitted my app to TESC in 1993. THIS will be the year of my degree completion![/COLOR]

PASSED:
CLEP-Information Systems & Computer Applications: Scored 62; Nov 07
CLEP-Analyzing & Interpreting Literature: Scored 57; Feb 08
DANTES-Criminal Justice: Scored 54; Jan 08
DANTES-Fundamentals of College Algebra: Scored 47 (and 47 is the req'd pass score! :eek: ); Jan 08
DANTES-Drug & Alcohol Abuse: Scored 57; Feb 08
DANTES-Ethics in America: Scored 55; Feb 08
DANTES-Organizational Behavior: Score 54; Mar 08
DANTES-Technical Writing: Score 58; Mar 08

FELL SHORT OF A PASSING SCORE (I'll never say the 'F' word):
ECE-Organizational Behavior: Score D (but passed DANTES version 2 hours later! Big Grin )

Congratulations, I know how you feel. I just passed my first CLEP (Macroeconomics 53) this morning. I got a 49 on Microeconomics last month and was very dissappointed. Now I have my second wind and hope to pass more. I am scheduled for Intro to sociology next. Congratulations again and good luck.

Congrats! Getting the first one out of the way is a great step towards your degree. It builds confidence and inspires YOU to believe in yourself to be able to succeed. Keep up the good work and continue to trust and believe in yourself. To quote many Adam Sandler movies....YOU CAN DO IT! Big Grin

I studied for about 3 weeks, I used IC but I found it to be no help. I read the REA and that helped the best. I also took the peterson's test. That was just about it.
