Hello everyone,

I am too excited - I just have to let you all know, I recently took CLEP Marketing and scored... 79! :hurray:

That is now my new second highest score!

I studied for this test using the REA guide and an old marketing textbook, and supplementing as needed with google. Evidently that was certainly enough to pass. I found the REA book to be quite useful and concise, and I think it would be enough to pass (but I tend to overstudy so I used more resources than just the REA). I found the exam quite simple and relatively easy. I took a while studying for it and now I think I should have taken it earlier and saved a little time! It turned out to not require quite as much studying as I put into it.

Now I want to study more marketing. TECEP Advertising, Marketing Communications...
I need to focus. That is what happened with accounting, and management, and ...
Now I am going for an Accounting degree with extra management credits already, I don't need extra marketing, too!

You rock! CLEP Marketing is one of the easiest of all the CLEPs to take but your grade is super duper high. I think I got a 74 on that one after 3 days of studying only the REA book.
I recommend that book to anyone thinking of doing a BSBA with CLEP. I tell people about it because it is a great confidence booster since the material is digestible but you do have to study.
