I took my first test today, after about a year of reading these boards.
Dantes Intro to Computing. I used Instantcert and took the CLEP practice exams. As other have stated here, I not sure I passed. I have 2 others at my test site waiting for me. I will take Here's to your heath & Civil War by the end of the month.
The hardest part for me was to "Just go and DO IT". I live about 2 miles from my testing site. Looking back, I ask myself why I waited so long.
This forum is Great!! All of you that post are fantastic. For others like me, go ahead take the first step and try it.
THANKS FOR ALL OF THE ENCOURAGEMENT THIS FORUM HAS GIVEN ME.
One test at a time,
Tim

Hi Tim,
I am in the same boat! I keep putting off actually taking a test even though I would love to put this all behind me. I also find I spend more time reading the forums then studying  .
Good luck to you!

[SIZE="3"][COLOR="Blue"]Hi Denise -
Welcome to the IC-Forums too!!
I think once you get into the "study groove" you will be all set to take your first exam.
Start with something simple if you can like Sociology or perhaps a strong interest that you have in a particular subject area. Either way you look at it's all up to you.
The forums are a GREAT SUPPORT system but you're the one who has to take the exam. GOOD LUCK to you!!![/COLOR][/SIZE]

Every exam you take; every hour you study; every book you read; every new word, concept, principle, fact, figure, or date you learn, improves YOU as a person.
This is TOTALLY about taking time for yourself. It's about self-improvement!
...and the 5 kids will benefit too, in the end. That's a bonus!
hilarious
Good for you!
