Minimum age for testing and enrollment

[Farmerboy]

Farmerboy- Congrats on your progress. I think the moderators should create a Doogie Howser forum for all you guys. Please tell me more on your studies. How long ago did you start taking your tests? Does your homeschooling integrate the CLEP tests? How often do you test, once a month? What methods do you use to prepare for the tests? Does your state require you to take mandatory testing? Are you studying other subjects besides the CLEPs?

I started taking test about two and half years ago. At first, I did 2 to 3 tests a month but I slowed down when I started on my business requirements. As far as methods, I used REA and Comex guides for the CLEPS and got the first textbook recommended on the DSST fact sheet for the Dantes. I would also go through IC a couple of times to solidify the material and then take a practice test. If I scored over 55% on the practice test I would take the real deal if not I would review more on IC and do another read-through on the texts.

Idaho is probably one of best states to homeschool in, as they do not require any tests or registration. I do take standardized testing through a local organization with many of the other homeschoolers in Idaho. What state do you live in and do you have any restrictions?

Best Regards,
