How many exams have you taken in one day? - jessikalauren - 05-31-2017
I've done two CLEP/DSSTs in one day on more than one occasion, and felt pretty fried afterward.
I am feeling some pressure as I'm collecting transcripts to begin at WGU and I have a day off coming up, I think I know enough material for four exams so I'm considering trying it.
Just wondering...

I took 4 in 2 hours and 20 minutes. But they were probably 4 of the easiest (for me) exams - Personal Finance, Intro to Computers, Marketing and Management.

Sounds like you are a fast test taker like me. I either know it or I don't.

I'm similar. I just did a StraighterLine course in 3 days so I'm pretty sure I can do it if I can just keep my eyes uncrossed.

Yep. And I am a really fast reader - that tends to help a lot. I was always one of the first ones done with tests all through school, not because I was the smartest (I probably didn't get the highest grade most of the time, and I was certainly not the valedictorian or anything) but because I was a really fast reader.

That's an incredible completion time dfrecore. Figure the average test is about 70 questions & add the test prep/log-in time. You are averaging about 15-25 seconds per question. Not sure if I read through most questions at that speed, let alone answer the question with confidence to move forward to the next question.

And I had to actually get up, walk out of the testing room, register for the next test, pay (by check!), and then they would take me in and get me started on the next test.
I seriously knew the material for these though. Like I said, they were probably the 4 easiest possible exams I could have taken. I'd already gotten a Certificate in Management, and had taken maybe 8 management-related courses by then. Knew enough about computers, and I'd worked with the personal finance thing a lot by then (I'd bought 4 houses, worked in an escrow office, was a 401(k) plan administrator, a stock plan administrator, etc.).
That's why I always say that no one else can tell you what will be an easy course or exam FOR YOU. It's so dependent on your own personal situation.

I want to do two CLEP/DSST in a day, but the test centers aren't set up for that in my area.
It would really save me time on travel if I could speed through a few CLEPs in a day.

All of mine were FREE so I did the shotgun approach.

CLEP 12-8
DSST 26-5
UExcel/ECE 9-2
