Two CLEP's in two weeks?
#9
It is very doable. Today I took my fifth and sixth CLEP & DANTES exams THIS WEEK (check out my signature for details). Basically what I did was browse through the 2008 info the military published regarding the percentage of military personnel who took and passed each exam. My logic was this: since people in the military do not pay to take the exams, then the percentages published most likely reflect a greater number of people who took the exams "cold" or with minimal studying, just "for the hell of it" you could say. I made a list of those tests, leaving out the language tests for obvious reasons, and called my local Jr. college to set up a test date for the next day (this was last Monday). I read the specific feedback for the A&I Literature exam on this forum and went in Tuesday to take the exam without studying any other source. I passed with a 68! My confidence level in my "theory" shot through the roof so I went ahead and signed up for Personal Finance on Wednesday, both Technical Writing and Environment & Humanity for Thursday, and Substance Abuse & Here's To Your Health for today (Friday). I only studied the afternoon/night before each exam for the most part. I exclusively used instant cert's flashcards and specific feedback forum. No books, no practice tests, nothing. I am now 21 credits ahead of where I stood this past Monday! I am signed up for the Principles of Marketing CLEP this Monday and over this weekend I will review and decide what exams to take after that.
Sorry for the long thread, but I just wanted to make sure that everyone knows that studying for and taking/passing multiple exams in the same month, let alone the same week or day is definitely possible. I'm only 28 and if I can do it (I'm pretty much a high school dropout) then ANYONE CAN!!!
