CLEP: Intro to computing - rickyjo - 12-31-2009
i understand they are just notes
but it helps me decide what to study in greater depth as well because i do not intend to get any memberships.

Thank you for the notes, Operalady! I am currently deciding whether to take the CLEP, DSST, or both. Are these notes for one of them or both of them? Thanks again.

There are tons of overlap on these two exams. I made a big word doc for both. Pm me with your email and I'll send it.

I have learned everything I know about computers from my husband who builds them from scratch and fixes them for friends. I used some old networking books I got at the library and passed the info systems CLEP with no problem. If you know the common buzzwords and a little about networking you should be fine with this. I could not tell you anything about programming except basic is the easiest.

FWIW - my 15 year old walked in and took the test cold after taking one Peterson's Practice Test and passed.

I took the CLEP version over the summer. Not bad at all, I would recommend knowing the buzzwords and techy stuff such as ANSI, COBOL, etc. Alot of this exam was common sense computer stuff (resolution, bytes, etc). IC helped too.

This one requires study based on the level you know about computers.
Technical Writing requires no study provided you use common sense.

Why not just take the Peterson's practice tests and find out what you don't know and google those areas, after making notes.

Are Petersons practice tests free or very close to it? And if so where do I find them
