This exam was really durable but I cant tell what I did wrong, I keep failing these exams by 1 point, I dont feel like continuing, I tried so hard but yet I failed, I failed biology by i point in april now I failed Statistics by 1 point, I am so depressed, I had to call out from work today, I dont think I should really continue with this

Ohhh, so sorry! I know how it feels. I failed Spanish by one point and humanities by two. Don't give up though. Maybe you just need to reevaluate your study methods. How have you been studying?

Sorry to read about missing the exams by one point.
Were these subjects that were new for you ? How much time did you put into prep? What resources did you use? I would hate to see you give up on testing out, as it is such a good way to earn credits. Let us help you figure out a strategy to pass next time. Peace123

One additional thought.
Both of those exams, stats and biology are hard subjects. A lot of people try other avenues for them rather then testing out. For example one avenue, if your college will accept ACE credits for Stat's might be either Aleks or Straighterline. To get credit under ACE you only need to score a 70 %.

peace123 is right those are harder exams, maybe you should try an easier exam first. What I do to study (and have not failed any exam doing this) is make sure I really know the flashcards and make a study guide off of everything mentioned in specific exam feedback and really know it. Occasionally I'll use any other study materials suggested or free-clep-prep.com. But if you really really know the flashcards (and not just what goes in the blank but the whole thing, including answer) and specific exam feedback and understand it all, you should not fail.
Also on free-clep-prep.com there is a difficulty list for cleps and dssts. It is not the same for everybody ofcourse, but you could pick one of the easier ones on there first.

When you do fail a test, is it true that you have to wait 180 days to take it again? Just curious....

DON'T GIVE UP!!! Seeing as how you are only 1 point away from passing, means that IT IS DOABLE to pass the next test. You took some of the hardest tests, by the way, and I know that you can definitely pass another test. It IS WORTH IT to continue; believe me. YOU CAN DO IT!!!
