I've done both B&M and Testing out. In a classroom, the instructor has an agenda, and is basically going over the topics you will be tested on. Studying for a CLEP or DSST, you really have no idea what to expect, so you study EVERYTHING. for example, when I was going to school, I'd take notes during class, and when exam time came around, I'd study my notes and do just fine. Testing out is very different. You must have a much broader understanding of the topic, so studying, at least for me, is much more intense. Does anyone else feel the same way?
