Very cool, thanks!

So the CLEP isnt recomended?

CLEP Chemistry is extremely hard. Not because the material itself is extreme, but because the time limit is beyond ridiculous. At 1 minute 12 seconds per question, it borders on non-sense, since most questions are not linear (they require thought about multiple concepts across the coursework, or memorized formula solving). IIRC, answering 2 of 3 correctly results in a high score. Answering about 3 of 5 correctly results in a sufficient score. These are estimates, since no one knows how they calculate their wonky scale, but I am guessing some questions are weighted.

So factor that in, with the idea that a passing score may or may not result in lab credits. One of my local community colleges awards generously for passing it, but there is no mention anywhere that labs are included. So this means the OED (from the USPTO) is the authority. And we both know their main authority is giving non-answers.
