Somewhere around 8-10. My summer courses weren't as difficult as I planned, so I've been grinding out CLEPs all summer. I was going through them so quickly that I accidentally took the American History 2 CLEP, even though I've already taken the course at a B&M. It's a wonderful program.

Honestly, the only one I studied for was the American Literature CLEP, which kicked my ass. I ended up with a 56 after 50 hours of studying. Even with all that studying, it still seemed like nothing I studied was on the exam. The rest of the tests, I spent maybe an hour or two reviewing the Instacert flashcards and the dedicated board on this forum. If you plan on doing alot of CLEPs, the forum and flashcards are the best way to go. It's $15 a month and you get flashcards for each test, as well as a thread with hundreds of posts for each CLEP. I would advise you to study longer than I did though. I'm a good test taker, and I've got over a decade of experience in business, so I know enough of the material to pass anyway.

Thanks for the advice. It's really helpful. Did you take any math CLEPs?

I haven't taken any math CLEPs. Off the top of my head, I've taken: American Literature, American History 1, American History 2, Princ of Management, Princ of Marketing, Computer Information Systems, Western Civ 1, Western Civ 2, Business Law. There might be one or two I'm missing. Let me know if you have any questions about specific tests.
