Study skills...advice
#1
I'm thinking I need to have a "study skills" short course for my daughter before we begin working on clep#1, has anyone gone through a good course or know of one that might be helpful? Thanks again!

CollegePlus, the organization that has helped me as I earn my degree, offers two study skills courses that both current students and non-CP students can purchase. Both courses work very well with the "CLEP" learning model, particularly "Dynamic Memory and Study Skills."

I remember looking through a few of the books in the "How to Study" series by Ron Fry. Some of the topics and tips were interesting. Here is a link to one of the books:

How to Study: Ron Fry: 9781435459687: Amazon.com: Books

Some of the older editions (note pre-internet studying) are available at PaperbackSwap.com:

I'm looking forward to learning more about some other suggestions, too.
