Time management question - PsychTestOut - 05-24-2010
I'm new here, came from a similiar forum after I kept reading about IC :-) and I've signed up to help study.
I'm curious how people manage their time. Do you study for more than one exam at a time, for how long on avg?
My current situation has me working, volunteering (not negotiable b/c it is necessary for grad school) kids, taking one class online now, soon to be two, and need to study for and take the GRE within a few months. I took a free ETS GRE as a diagnostic and I would need to improve by at least 200 points, mostly in quant.
I also need to try to take one more online class and likely 4 exams if I can't take that class (which is 6 credits) I may need to take as many as 6 exams. All of this needs to be completed by mid December.
So, how do you guys break all of this down to set your goals? Anyone willing to share? Oh, and I've never taken a CLEP or DSST before, so I don't really have a clue what to expect other than multiple choice.
TIA

I takes me on average a week or two to for a test (full time). Most tests I can do in a week, but some of the harder ones I take a little extra time for. Some tests I have done in 3 or 4 days though. But its different for everybody. Some people on here are crazy fast (like only studying a few hours) while it may take others a couple months.
Most people, including myself, prefer to study one exam at a time, not everbody though.
