CBE time limits?

[BIPolarGuy]

As for CLEP exams, I always had enough time to spare with the exception of college composition(with essays). (took every second of that one). The DSST exams all have had 2 hours and i have always finished well under that. As long as I was prepared, the tests were no problem. I always followed the above listed techniques and those help with time management.
One strategy mentioned in another thread is to make a table as follows:
! | 50/50 | ?
-------------------
! = your 90% or better on that answer
5/50 = you narrowed the answer to 1 of 2 answers
? = you just guessed

put a hash mark in the corresponding column after each answer. mark the 50/50 and ? for review.

when you look at it at the end of the test, do a quick calculation. 90% of the !, 40% of the 50/50 and 20% of the ?. if that gives you over 60% you should be good. ( note those are what I use for percentages, go with whatever works for you)
for ex. out of 100 q's i might have ! =55, 50/50=25, ? = 20 ( .9*55 +.4*25 +.2*20 = 63.5)( that was pretty close to my human resource test last week and I got a 63 score on the test)

So far with that formula, I have passed all my tests comfortably and it allowed me to focus on those ? and 50/50 at the end.


Also, if you currently get extra time on tests in school ( or have any conditions that would allow you get that accommodation) let the proctor know ahead of time and they will tell you what information they need to get that approved.
