Blew the Algebra Clep. It is obvious that I need more time to do the problems no matter how well I understand the material. I think I need to take Algebra on line for the credit. Any suggestions? Excelsior wants $870 plus books for the course. A little steep, but I need to do it on line because I travel all the time. Help?

Does Test give you option to use "Finance Table"

Thank you.

Originally I wanted to gain a four year degree from excelsior. But the requirements for the job I want would qualify me if only a two year degree. So I'm considering knocking out my clep generals and then focusing on the major: law enforcement to finish up my a.a.s. degree. Has anyone knocked out there generals through clep and then took the 2nd year at a community college? The reason why I want to take this path is it will get me in my career faster and my work will pay for my community college. I went to the college board site and the college I want to attend is listed as accepting clep credits. All I needs is 30-34 general credits before I could finish up the degree taking my major which is 29 credits.

I took my first exam this morning (Here's To Your Health) and I feel pretty good about it. I am of course afraid to jinx myself by saying I am sure I passed, but there were many more questions that I answered quickly than I pondered over. The flashcards here were really wonderful!!! I used them, a textbook and Pass Your Class. I studied seriously for about two weeks but have to say the bulk of what I studied was from here. The flashcards made me feel confident, which I usually don't.

This was a required exam for me, and now I have 3 or 4 more I have to take to eat up some elective hours so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

On the test I noted lots of questions dealing with:

Contraceptives (the mechanics of how they work)
Men's health and reproduction
Results of aging
Some medical terminology
Hormones
Not much on cancers (which surprised me)

I'm sure that many versions of the exam exists so this may not be an accurate account for every one of them.

It was not timed and the questions were written in pretty simple language. There were 101 questions and it took me about 60 minutes, totally taking my time.

I will post results when I hear...keep your fingers crossed for me!

Again, just a huge thanks for this site and all the good positive feedback that is here.

I was just wondering what the age range is for everyone taking this road less traveled, and what started the journey?!?

I am 24 and took 1 year of traditional college (it was enough for me!!) I heard about CLEP and accelerated learning at a homeschool conference. It took me about 3 years to actually start CLEPing and now I am hooked! (American Government and A&I Literature tomorrow, American History 1&2 in 3-4 weeks)

So the question is what else do you guys do other than school. What are your intrests. After all this is the none degree related forum... So why are we talking about degrees and school things here? IDK just a random thought

Exactly, what is CLEP and DANTES? How do they benefit?

What does it mean, when a course is lower or upper?

If i pass the exam, my units go straight to my nearest certified college. What will it say on my transcript if i passed a certain class?

On my college catalog, it explains how i need english 114, then english 115. Taking the english CLEP and passing it, i won't need to take my junior colleges english classes?

Thank you,

I have a good understanding of Algebra, but I am wondering how may questions you have to answer correctly to get a 50. With only sixty questions on the test but only 90 minutes, I am concerned.

I scored a 590 on the GRE Psychology exam (earned 9LL credits) a year ago studying for only 3 weeks. I used only the Princeton Review "Cracking the GRE Psychology". Now that all of these Psychology cards are available I'm wondering if the Princeton Review book (very concise), plus studying ALL of the IC LL and UL Psychology cards would be enough to score in the 80th percentile. Somebody needs to try it. Imagine 30credits (12LL, 18UL) on one exam!!! Also, imagine how much money would be saved. I think the exam cost was only $150!
