So tomorrow at 8:00am Mountain time, I will be taking the CLEP College Math exam. I decided to do this in an attempt to circumvent the 50 hours or so that it will take me to complete my ALEKS College Algebra.
I have been studying all week and what I've already done in ALEKS has helped, but I still don't think I have what it takes to pass. I have used IC and read through the specific feedback forum and also viewed quite a few You Tube video math lessons.
Any last minute advice? Also.. anyone that wants to send some positve vibes my way or pray that I don't totally fail miserably, that would be totally appreciated. I haven't done a ton of tests yet, but I'm TERRIFIED.

:iagree: Always think positively!
What I like most about math is there are no trick questions. Take your time and trust yourself. Remember the answer is there in your choices and you can always work problems backward if necessary.
Good luck, we are all routing for you!!

As im now 90+ hours into ALEKS statistics I feel your pain. I will be sending you good math vibes.
Best of luck I also agree take your time and think positive thoughts; when I took my Math praxis the second time I knew I wasn't going to blow this test away,but I knew I could do enough to pass. You need to be willing to give yourself that positive edge.

The answers are in the test.All you have to do is pick the right one. If all else fails plug some numbers in or pick C if pressed for time. All you need is a pass and then it's overwith. So, keep positive and you will do well...

Just go in with an open mind- there is no pressure on you unless you put in on yourself. You've put quite a bit of effort into preparing yourself, and I have a hunch that you will do just fine!

Then you probably will fail. OR, you can try saying "I probably will pass tomorrow" and you probably will pass. I can't help you study, but I can impart the wisdom that a defeatist attitude leads only to defeat.
If you have gotten this far, then I am sure you have the tools necessary for success. GO GET 'EM!!!!
If you find yourself nervous during the test, just think of this:

Unas de las cosas mas dificiles de aprender son las lenguas, y su cuenta del CLEP de español me muestra que usted lo puede. Es mas dificil algebra que una lengua? Dudo mucho.

MC's last post is dead-on. It is a lot tougher to learn a new language than it is to prepare for the College Math CLEP! Think positive and you'll be fine!
