Since I was home-schooled, I was able to tailor my studies so that I was only studying one or two subjects at a time. I certainly enjoyed learning this way, and I was able to remember what I learned much better.
BTW, I am taking the BIO CLEP this Thursday and was wondering how close FCP's practice test is to the real exam?
As you know from my other post, I took the BIO CLEP over 3 months ago, so I'm a bit rusty on the CLEP itself (especially since I've taken multiple tests since then). However I found FCP's PT fairly accurate, it may of been a tad easier because most of the questions on FCP's PT are fact oriented. On the real CLEP you'll have to be able to apply the facts. The REA PTs are easier then the CLEP and Petersons PT are harder (I found the 2nd Peterson PT to be the most accurate). Anyway, back to FCP, I'd suggest to be sure you're scoring 75% or higher. All in all, FCP is a decent gauge. Make sure if you haven't done so already to go through the Specific Exam Feedback Area! Loads of info there!!
