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.
One thing I noticed, is that many self proclaimed history buffs as myself are not history buffs, but history of WAR buffs. History exams cover a lot more than wars, make sure you are familiar with significant events, attitudes, religous beliefs, laws passed, etc.
CLEPS Passed: 10 DSST Passed: 11 TECEPS: 1

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
