Dear Learners,
With back to school season in full swing, now is a great time to begin a new course or finish up one you’ve already started on ModernStates.org.

Thanks for sharing! I'm currently taking their Macroeconomics class. I ordered the official CLEP test book for $6 used. I've never taken one before; I figure it can't be harder than the other classes and credits I've taken.

Some CLEPS can be passed with just the Modern States' resources. I was able to pass the Social Sciences, Humanities, and Analyzing and Interpreting Literature tests (the only CLEPs I've taken to date) using only their lecture videos and practice tests. They also provide supplemental e-textbooks. It's a great resource for those on a tight budget.

I squeaked by on that one using MS and the Crash Course, with a little ACDC Econ thrown in.
