Any tips for the Marketing CLEP?

[Southron Boy]

Hi all,

On 3/22 I will be taking my first CLEP with Instant Cert, any tips? I will be going through all the questions. I also have the REA guide, but it bores me.

Thanks,

Scott,

For Marketing, know the information in IC and you can't go wrong. I passed Marketing last week and scored a 72.

I studied approx. 12-14 hours with a very sketchy study schedule over a few days. I only used IC and practice tests in both the Official CLEP Guide and
4tests.com (make sure you review both right and wrong answers comparing them to the questions). I didn't even finish all the IC sections. (reviewed 1-3 twice; 4-6 once. Didn't make it to section 7). I don't say this to discourage you from hard study on the Marketing exam, as minimal effort reaps minimal results. But, I do encourage you in the fact that this exam is very doable despite the crazy curves life may throw you over the next several days before the 22nd. If money is an issue, I personally wouldn't purchase the REA on this one (I didn't) as IC and a little common sense---combined with the great support on this forum---is more than enough to pass with a good score. You may want to utilize the "search" feature on the main page if you haven't already. It ease my nerves reviewing imput from those who have surmounted the obstacle already. Best wishes!!!
