Principles of Management CLEP

[crunk1000]

Okay thanks guys. I guess more specifically.....when it comes to the flash cards there are a total of 640 blanks. I haven't been through them all due to having 3 finals to study for but it just seems like too much for a 100 question test. I have read on different sites the percentages of what is to be on the test I guess I just need to memorize as much as possible in 18 days and hope I pass it.

I attached two study guides that some other member did up. Hope this helps. I retake the test tomorrow. So, i'll let you how it goes.

Okay thanks! One more question...how are the tests laid out...multiple choice/true/false/fill in the blank?

[cooperalex2004]

On the actual test they give you multiple choice of letters A-E (5 choices) (this is for ALL CLEP exams). DSST exams (like Supervision) use letters A-D (4 choices) so you might like to do some of those exams too.

Like what Cooper said, it's all multiple choice exam. This exam dealt very little with theories compared to my last test I had. Though, I advise not to neglect it as it is still very much important. I didn't pass, [again], for some odd reason. Scored a 48. I knew the MAJORITY of the questions with only 5 questions I had to seriously guess on. So, slightly disheartening. Use those study guides because a lot of the material that popped on the test was on the guide.

On InstantCert, does it have an actualy exam...I can't seem to find it? Or does it only have the flashcards to study from?

[submissiongrappler]

Only flash cards.

@submissiongrappler you gave me those study guides a few weeks ago...should I just focus on the stuff where it is bold because there is a lot of information that is not in bold and if that information is not as relevant as the bold information I would like to skip to the other bold sections. I just want to make sure I am not reading "fluff" and filling my mind with the info that is not relevant.

thanks man

I just retook the this test not even a week ago... there isn't really any "fluff" on those study sheets. This test requires you not only to know the facts, but also how to apply them. If you've had any background in business, that should help tremendously. Make sure you go through the docs, go through FCP looking for stuff you're not familiar with, and take FCP's free PT.
NOTE: I failed it my first time with a 48, but passed it just now with a 60. This is an easy test, but still requires you to study. Keep that in mind and you'll do fine.

Can anyone give me a guess on how many hours a day they studied for this test and for how many days.

Thanks!
