At 53 years old, and an experienced TECEP taker...I bet if you are from the USA, that yeah, you can pass these 2 exams in one sitting. I would study for at least 2 weeks minimum. A lot of 20th century history is going to be familiar to you.
If you haven't discovered the following resources I would highly recommend them:
1.History of the United States I CLEP Free Study Guide - Free-Clep-Prep.com
History of the United States II CLEP Free Study Guide - Free-Clep-Prep.com
2. History 103: US History I Course - Free Online Video Lessons | Education Portal
History 104: US History II Course - Free Online Video Lessons | Education Portal
(The above can be long, so if you are running out of time, do the IC flashcards and come back to ONLY the lessons you need. I was SO happy I played these videos. Because the day of the US HX II test, I was playing it while I took a shower, brushed my teeth ,and ate breakfast and at least 3 questions were on the actually exam from the info on the website.)

Make sure you pay attention to the part of the exam that carry a lot of weight. Get those down pat with the IC flashcards for sure then go back and start filling in the blanks with all the other information.
Best of Luck,

Also what amount of study time is suggested? I am an older student (53) and I have been taking TECEP exams at the rate of one per month....I am hoping I can cut that time down with InstantCert. Advice and suggestions appreciated.
