Done! I got a 71 using IC for 99% of the information / preparation. (I had a textbook but never could make myself crack it other than to skim the definitions in the back, and looked up markup examples on the web to make sure that was down.) I'm also taking Microeconomics and Prin. of Management as courses right now, so that helped, and googled practice exams and took any free one I came across to measure preparation ahead of time.
A few tips if this CLEP is coming up:
1) Know the marketing mix details forward and backwards.
2) Familiarize yourself with demand elasticity, fixed/variable costs, and the other microeconomic concepts in marketing.
3) Know marketing segmentation details, particularly psychographics, etc.
4) Do not chug a large coffee 10 minutes before sitting down to take the exam.
Trust me, they'll help.
On to DSST Business Ethics & Society, then testing is done for my degree plan and I can put away my test-taking anxiety dilemma!
