UGH! What a scare. I logged on to find a screen that made me think I was transported to IBM in the 80's. The software was pixelated, the questions were laid out in a terrible format, with the answer checks at the bottom. Looks nothing like REA or Petersons test format. To access the periodic table you had to click thru 2 windows. To access the calculator, it was maybe a bit quicker, but I don't think you could have both windows up at the same time, i.e. questions and table. The questions were NOTHING like the breakdown on the the CLEP briefing - I had no Descriptive Chem, maybe 1 structure of matter. What I can remember is rate reaction, quantum numbers, 2 experimental (one about a beaker choice - no lab, no idea), lots of equilibrium, acids, bases, thermo, kinetics. Basically everything I studied less of, since the CLEP published test percentages were lower....
I was running out of time, so the last ten, I gut clicked, cause otherwise, I wouldn't have finished. I had a minute to review my sheet to see if I skipped any and beep - that was it! Oh and I only had 73 questions? Was that better or worse or no difference?
Definitely, a tight time for those without Chem / STEM background.
BUT - I squeaked by with a 55.
Glad that's over and returned 5 library books yesterday!
:hurray:
