New girl here, would like advice for Clep

[barcotta]

Sooo excited to find out my school may accept a lot more than 30 credits from clep and dsst! Looks like my degree will be here faster than I thought! Now I just have to make sure I ace every test. I am so mad I never heard about this before!!!!!

Don't be mad. It's the best kept non-secret in education. I could write a thesis on the phenomenon that keeps this readily-available extremely useful and beneficial information away from people and leads to a 90+% rejection rate for the people that do learn of it. I challenge you to find even one other person in any of your classes that has even HEARD of CLEP exams--let alone know anything about them. They've been around FOREVER.

One last bit of advice. You only need a 50 on each exam I believe (except Spanish) so I would NOT spend a lot of time trying to ACE anything. You should be prepared and I would recommend InstantCert as your main source for that, but my experience was that you really only needed to know a little over half of the material--the curve and lucky guessing often takes care of the rest. Good luck!
