Best Prep Materials - CLEP College Mathematics

I am going to take it sooner than later in case i need to take it again.:eek:

Hi yutzyj,

That's exactly what I did too. I was so nervous about taking Statistics, that I decided to just take it so that I wouldn't have to be nervous about it anymore...I would either pass it, or fail it and take it again in six months (with the added benefit of hindsight and experience).

As it happened, the exam ended up not being the monster I thought it would be. I studied very hard for three weeks straight. I used Instantcert to grasp the concepts as much as I could. I memorized some formulas, and learned how to use the calculator I bought (Texas Instruments BAII+).

The exam was quite literally TERRIFYING for me to actually take, and I didn't enjoy it one iota. But without being good at math, and with only following the process above, I was able to score a 71.

There were FAR more questions about the "concepts" than there were "math-related" questions. This is what I must stress to anyone who fears this exam.

If you know the Instantcert material; know the main formulas; and know how to operate your calculator's statistics functions, this exam is very doable..even for a pathetically math-phobic individual like myself.

Approach it as you would any other exam...learn the various FACTS AND PRINCIPLES (some of the facts and principles just happen to involve numbers instead of words).

I took care of learning the concepts, and my calculator took care of calculating ALL the math (I didn't need to calculate anything more complicated than 2+2 in my head, for this exam. The calculator did it all for me).

I do hope this encourages you (and others),
