I also purchased Rudman's book, which seems to be a Q&A, as I've also heard good things about it. I'll start studying for it sometime next month. And I'll focus on the commercial paper :::cringes:::

Anar,
Somebody posted a link to these DSST mock exams online. They were on a National Guard web site and were available for free. Let me find it for you.
Be Right Back!

Sorry Anar,
They were the CLEP mock exam pdf files, not the DANTES ones. I was mistaken! I was hoping to save you some money, but no such luck.

Thanks Snazzlefrag. I always appreciate a freebie! Not always possible though.

statistics took the most studying.:eek:

The hardest so far, in my opinion, was accounting. I knew nothing about accounting and studied ONLY the Instancert materials and only for about 6 total hours. I passed with a 57 but I would have sworn...about halfway through...that I was not going to pass. Someone was asking about the natural science test...I took that with NO preparation. I decided to add it at the last minute, to cut my losses in case I failed the accounting. On that I made a 62. So I ended up with 12 credit hours that day.:eek:

The most I ever did was 18 credits in a day: 12 on CLEP Spanish and 6 Natural Sciences. I was on top of the world!

Thanks for the well wishes! As far as background...I am a nurse. My best subject was always science. I am the "poster child" for "life learning". The ONLY "formal education" I had was one year of technical school after I graduated from high school. I became an LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse). Then I "tested" through my RN at Excelsior (Regents back then). I worked in a hospital for 15 years, and was ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE and about 5 years ago decided I had had enough. I started working as a Disease Manager for an insurance company and tested for, and received, my Certificate for Certified Asthma Educator. During this 5 years I have discovered that I am quite good in database management. I have created multiple linked databases for my current employer. (Self taught Access Database Design) Now I want to become a Certifed Project Manager. That is my goal.... Probably managing projects related to healthcare informatics and IT. I am working toward my Bachelors in Business. I have about 8 tests remaining...4 of these are scheduled within the next 14 days. Then I will take the PM certification test as soon as I qualify. Please share your story if you don't mind. I think it is a kick to prove to people that you really don't have to spend years sitting in a classroom to attain knowledge!
