College Math Clep

[Kaz]

In some ways I appreciate the sentiment expressed regarding last minute 'fix all's'. Certainly in this arena there are many who are looking for instant gratification, or quick fixes without putting in the labor. However there are some reasons that I am very limited on time , which I will not go into because it does not really seem to pertain, nor do I expect that others really care. Suffice to say this will be my fourth Clep test, the first three I passed studying perhaps 1-2 weeks for each. I am not a novice at this and understand that there is some normal pattern which is advisable to follow, though this go around I simply cannot do the study, test, brush up simulation (although I have taken math prerequisite classes recently). I am hoping that there are some who might be empathetic, not knowing the particulars of my situation.

I didn't mean to sound like I had an attitude about people who ask for help on short notice. I sincerely meant I don't know what people expect to hear. I wasn't being facetious or sarcastic, I meant what I said: you are either close to your target score or not. If not then with two days left you're probably screwed. If you are close then you only have enough time to make one "bad" topic "good", or one good one great. Whether you have a good reason for such short notice or a bad one doesn't change your obstacle.

If it were me, based on what I know of math now, I wouldn't spend much time on the prob&stat section. It's less connected to the other sections so while it's the biggest single section it's an island. Not much carryover. This is from someone who hasn't taken (and won't) any math CLEPs, just a math major guy. I have experienced how every one of those other topics is connected to each other and actually is interdependent with each other. On the other hand, I haven't even had to take Stats101 at all for my math degree. So I'd skip it if I were you. But if anyone who has actually taken this CLEP and nailed it says otherwise then listen to them. Good luck.
