Did anyone take these two CLEPs (Micro and Macro)? Any feedback on how difficult they are? I am thinking about taking the two of them in a few weeks.

  Peterson vs. U.S. History II CLEP
Posted by: judahsma - 01-07-2008, 08:54 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (1)

I'm currently studying for the U.S. History II test and have been having a seriously hard time with this. I read the exam-specific feedback, but am wondering if those of you who have taken this can give me some idea as to whether or not the Peterson's tests were harder or easier than the actual CLEP for this test? The other tests I've taken have been easier than the Peterson's, but one person had mentioned that for U.S. History II, they thought the CLEP was harder. Thanks for any feedback!

  Business Law II
Posted by: Mateo1 - 01-07-2008, 07:52 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (2)

I've tried to get the dsst practice test but it seems that it will not be available til' the 15th. My intention is to take DSST Business Law II by the end of this week. I've been studying from the Barron 4th. edition Business Law, but I just want to make sure I can pass this one. I was wondering if anyone knows any other resources to get practice tests for BLaw II?
The only site I could find was the IStudy smart but it is pretty expensive to get it (around $189.00), since they sell you the entire course.
Any advise is welcomed.
Thanks.
Mateo
