I was a little discouraged after taking world population and only getting a C.
I scheduled Drug and Alcohol abuse and Here's to Your Health for today.
This testing center only tests on Fridays and only charges 5$ plus the Dantes 70$ the other test centers use the paper exams and charge 30$ per exam.
I took here's your health first, I didn't find the exam too hard but some questions I was clueless.
It took me about 25 minutes to finish and I scored a 59 I think that's an A so I was pretty happy.
I used IC only to study for this
I then took the Drug and Alcohol that took me about 28 minutes I scored a 57
I was worried I found the test not to easy but not to hard. I used IC and passyourclass notes with this. Honestly I feel like I wasted the 35$ on the passyourclass notes. You can definately pass this with IC only.
Since I was on a role I said, Let me take a test cold and see how I do lol
Introduction to Business and I got a 61 it took me about 24 minutes to finish.
I said wow I must be on a roll
I took an Introduction to Computing. I scored a 60 it took me about 29 minutes to complete. I guessed a lot of the questions. I guess I did alright though.
I'm so psyched.......... thanks guys for the help. I'm going to be taking 3 more exams this month and I'm shooting for 10 next month.
I have 31 credits now so hopefully I'll have 70 by the end of next month

Over the next few months I plan to take the following exams:
DSST/DANTES â Principles of Supervision, Introduction to Business
CLEP â Principles of Management, Principles of Marketing
From the forums I see that the IC flash cards are popular, as are the Petersonâs practice exams and CLEP and REA study guides. Here is my stupid question of the day: Are any of you reading textbooks as well to prepare for the exams? I almost hope you all answer ânoâ that question, but be honest!
Thanks

I passed my first Clep last week. Psychology.
I also earned 12 credits through that Homeland security thing.
I want to thank all the kind people that bothered to post their experiences,
their word lists, their trials and frustrations. This is the beginning for me.
i am now moving on to Sociology, thanks to the people that told me that this would be the next best step.
It is too bad that volunteerism on the internet is not recognized, because you people are doing others a great service.
Thank you so much for posting and continuing to watch out for all of us.

Holy Crap! Well, I finally did it, I took the plunge and took my first CLEP (Principles of Management) tonight. About 5 questions into the test I began to think that I had totally overestimated my knowledge of the material. When I got to the end of the test and hit the "review" button to see which ones I checked because I wasn't sure about the answer, I realized that I checked about 40% of them. I was sure I failed miserably and even thought twice about hitting the submit score button. Well, I'm glad I did hit the submit button because much to my surprise up popped a big fat "68"
What I found odd was that I scored better on the CLEP than any of the Petersons, but I thought that the CLEP was much more difficult while I was taking it. I can't explain for this any other way than I might have just been a nervous first time test taker.
If anyone is thinking twice about taking that first test do not be intimidated, especially if it is management. I only studied the free Cliff's notes on their website and the three Petersons test, one of which I took an hour before I took the CLEP. There were some questions on the test that both Cliffs and Petersons did not cover however.
I just have to say that I could not have done this without the success stories from everybody on this forum to motivate me. Thanks to you all.
3 credits down, 117 to go! Next up, Principles of Marketing
