How many have you tried at once? - xrep08 - 01-17-2017
I'm curious to know how many CLEP/DSST/Equivalent tests that one may have studied for and taken at one time? Obviously, I don't necessarily mean in one day, but scenarios such as: I paid for X # of exams, studied, and took all of said tests within X time frame. I'm curious to know how brave someone might have been and if it paid off.

I took 4 exams in 1 day - Principles of Management CLEP and Principles of Marketing CLEP - planned to take both that day, and did very minimal studying - then after I finished quickly, I decided to take Intro to Computers DSST, and after I finished quickly, then took Personal Finance DSST. The testing center is far, my mom was homeschooling my kids, and I wanted to make the most of the time I had!

I took and passed Drug and Alcohol Abuse and Technical Writing. The third one of the set, Civil War and Reconstruction was my only fail - and it happened on that day. Besides major hand cramps, I seriously still don't think it was too bad- I don't blame my fail on overload, I really don't think I was properly prepared for that test.

I did 2 clep and 1 dsst all in one day. 100% pass rate.

Maxed out at 3: Introduction to Computing (nice walk in the park) Principles of Marketing (are they giving away credits?) & then the TKO brain zapper for me Analyzing and Interpreting Literature. It felt like I was in a time machine teaching one of my kids how to read - literally could barely keep my eyes open. Just on mental focus strain alone I was not a fan of this 'easy' exam

Thanks for the replies everyone! Looks like 3 might be the magic maximum for a short time period.

A special shout out to whoever thought AP English Lit in the morning and AP French Lit that afternoon, all paper-based, was a good idea.

Was it Satan? (in my best 1987 "church lady" voice)

If I recall correctly, they also thought AP World History the next day was a fabulous idea. #notsomuch
