CLEP - The Educational Dilemma

If you are concerned that you will not know the concepts that depends on how you study. A number of us on the board take the slow and steady approach. KNOW the instantcert material. What you are studying here are the key, I'd almost say generic, points from each course. If you study and know the information you should be able to pick up the next level class with no problem.

I can honestly say that for me I've retained more and know the core concepts better through using a combination of instantcert/practice tests/online searching to fill in the gaps.
