The situation I got myself into is unbelievable. I have 3 exams to take tomorrow, and I didn't get around to start studying for them until this past Tuesday (2 days ago). I can't postpone since I will be going away soon, and for quite a while.
CLEP French :willynilly:
CLEP Introductory Psychology :willynilly:
CLEP Human Growth & Development :willynilly:
What's worse is that Psychology took 5 times longer than I thought it would (for some reason, my memory hasn't been as sharp this week as it usually is, and I've had to repeat things and even resort to mneumonics when I usually can just rote my way through everything). I'm ready for Psychology, but I keep forgetting concepts that I want to remember (not just for the test since the test only requires recognition, not recall, but I want to remember this stuff permanently and with quick recall).
SOOOO, I've basically had to learn the entire French Language in two half-day study segments hilarious.
Then, I have only superficially been able to study for HG&D. I just made a few charts, from skimming through a large text book, on the major theories, theorists, the basic timeline of development and am halfway done with memorizing the glossary. So far, less than 3 hours studying for it.
I basically have to break all of my principles and do "just enough" to pass these things. Meh, I'll probably have to go back over the material again after the test to permanently solidify it in my brain.
Mais heureusement, apprendre les langues est tellement important a moi, que je ne me laisserais jaimais perdre ce que j'ai appris.

I failed to mention that if through any combination of successes I get at least 12 credits tomorrow, I am done with my EC degree.
After much consideration, I'm going to take the French exam first. If I pass it with at least a 59, then the other exams are icing on the cake and money in the bank. If I pass with a score of between 50-58, I have to pass both Psych exams.

Sounds to me the military.
I am interested in this : "I've basically had to learn the entire French Language in two half-day study segments"
What you use for that.
Good luck.

Just took the French CLEP and I passed with a 63!!!!!!!
12 credits, for a total of 61 and my AA degree requirements are finally complete!
I still have two more exams today, Psychology and Human Growth & Development. After I beat the French exam at the highest level, there is no way I forsee myself failing my next two exams.
I have to get going on them, but I'll check in later.
Je ne le peux pas croire! Je vais a avoir une diplome sur la mur!!!
