CLEP/DSST Frustration

[hotelmajor]

True! I may be rushing a bit, but even freeclepprep had both of these rated as a 2 and 3. Maybe i am not giving myself enough time to sit down and soak in the material. Sad thing was i thought i aced that sociology clep today lol. I will give it more time on this next test which will be anthropology. But yeah with the military i am stuck to studying at night, and am taking classes at AMU already. I think i got extra ego boost from passing the first two right off bat, and need to settle down. Thanks a bunch @officerA

I have failed 2 CLEP tests recently and both of them by 2 points each, which is AMAZINGLY frustrating! All of the studying I have done has been on instacert only with the exception of the occasional google search for a more in depth explanation of something. I have been taking the CLEP and DSST tests at a rate of about 3 a month and it's been a tight schedule for me but, I have a goal of graduating before the end of this year so I am sticking to it. I have taken 8 test so far (7 of them since February) and have passed 6 of them so far.

I have taken the World religions DSST back in February and all of the info from Instacert is all you really need to study but make sure that you understand the information that they are presenting and how it all relates to one another. (that goes for all of the tests that I have taken so far) The instacert flash cards might tell you a fact about someone one in one religion but that fact might help you eliminate a wrong answer on the test about a completely different religion.

From my testing history so far make sure you know all of the info on the flashcards about any person that is listed. Don't forget to memorize the explanations as well. It's great if you can fill in the blanks on the flash cards but make sure you are memorizing the information instead of just recognizing the answer and filling it in. Reword the flash cards so the information is new in your mind and has twice the probability of staying there.

Good luck!
