nervous, clueless, and less than two weeks time :(

Hey there! Don't fret! I think with a bit of focused study you can do it! I just finished both of these last month. There's some overlap, and there's free and low-cost tools to get the job done! Here's what I did to study and prepare for the test:

1.) First, I took the Modern States Courses on the subjects. Modern States is a non-profit organization that provides students with quality courses on CLEP tests, and the site even provides voucher codes to get the tests for free (as long as you finish their course)! They reimburse you for the sitting fee, too, though that takes some time. It may sound too good to be true, but it's totally legit - I've taken 4 CLEPS through them, and they've all been free. Check it out!

     To study, I watched the course videos at 1.5 - 2X speed and took notes, then answered the questions at the end. I highly recommend going through these, cause it gives you an overview of the course in a relatively short amount of time. I probably finished both courses in under 14 hours, and it can probably be done in under 10 or so... which is a lot of time but will really help. Don't let their 6 week estimated course time scare you away!

2.) Next you can use Instantcert... I did, and they are easier after getting the big picture. However, there are a ton of them, and if you're willing to pay a little bit of money, a far better use of your time would be Free-Clep-Prep's study guides...

3.) Last, I used Free-Clep-Prep's study guides. These are guides that condense what you need to know for your test into an easy-to-use study aid. They also come with practice tests and an audio version of the guide. They cost under 20 bucks each, and are invaluable for cramming quickly. If you used these alone, you could probably pass. I use the audio to listen while I drive or take a walk/bike, and they have really helped out a ton. 

     With these tools and a bit of determination, you can totally do it! Studying for Principles of Management took a bit of time, but studying for Principles of Marketing took me 3 days from starting to passing the test!

Take a deep breath and get studying!

Hi just a question because I have to take Principles of Marketing too and was aware of Modern States for the Principles of Management but I didn't use it at that time because I was taking the Principles of Management 3 weeks after another exam...and I thought I had to spend 4 weeks in Modern States...so my question is can I spend less than 4 weeks in Modern States?
