How Many Tests You Can Pass In A Month? - lina - 01-06-2009
AS FOR ME, I CAN ONLY CONCENTRATE ONE EXAM AT A TIME.
I ADMIRE THOSE WHO CAN STUDY COUPLE OF TESTS AT THE SAME TIME AND PASS THEM IN ONE DAY.
I CAN'T TAKE MORE THAN ONE TEST IN ONE DAY. GUESS I AM JUST SO SCARED OF TAKING TESTS.:mad:

Hi Lina,
I just took 3 today! hilarious I have 2 scheduled for the 16th of January. I didn't think taking more than one was as bad as I thought it was going to be, actually. I might add one for the 24th, if I can decide on which CLEP I should take next.
In my humble opinion, taking more than 1 tests in a day isn't any different than taking 2 or 3 tests in a week. If you can do that, you can do them in the same week. However, it all depends on the individual and how you study/test. Personally, I don't think I could take two tests within the same week if I was taking a full course load at the same time. Which is why I took so many in the last 3 weeks.
Good luck!

I took 13 in a month, but really did it on 5 days because my testing center only offers exams on Wednesdays from 8am-1130am. I'm planning on taking at least 3 tomorrow. Haven't decided which ones yet.

You guys are awesome and I wish I were you. But how can you manage to study three different sujects at the same time?
As for the one who took 13 test on 5 days, I think you could get your degree in less than half year, right? Awesome.

Well...I would think that most of us have finished high school...and in high school you usually have at least five subjects going at the same time with finals at the end of the year...
I like focusing on one thing at a time as much as anyone, but whether you group exams requiring similar subject knowledge or mix in some of the easier exams with the tough ones, there are several ways to prepare for multiple tests at the same time. Give it a try!

I can handle only one at a time (I call it the immersion method) and about one a month. It really depends on your schedule, ability, personality ect...
I say don't beat yourself up if you are slower than others. Just do your best.

I didn't study three subjects at the same time, I actually didn't even study one subject at the same time. All of the exams I've taken have been cold with the exception of one or two Petersons practice tests.
I'll decide which tests to take tomorrow morning when I get to the test center. Wish me luck

Everyone is 100% different. Joel you're an anomaly - very few people have the test taking skills / intelligence to pull off your sort of pace.
I work 10-12 hours a day and have three kids. I take two "traditional" classes online every semester, and at least one CLEP / DSST exam a month. For me this IS my maximum.
For anyone new reading this - they key is simple - make progress ... the pace is not important. If your situation is such that you need a month to prepare for an exam - well that's still a 36 credit hour / year pace!
Best,
Matt
