How many CLEP's to take in one day?

[QUOTE=ryguyga]Thanks for all the replies. I've worked in the Sales & Marketing field for 10 years, so I feel fairly comfortable with the material. I have only begun to study for the Principles of Management CLEP. I'm on chapter 7 of 14. I've taken the Peterson's practice exam for Management and scored a 78, and I've taken another one for the Marketing and scored a 74 without any prior studying. I have a book for each of the tests and I plan on completing them before taking the CLEP. My school doesn't assign a letter grade, just pass and they give you credit for the class. They do however only allow you to get credit for 30 semester hours by exam.

It took me about 35 minutes to finish each Peterson's exam. I've never taken a CLEP before.>


Ok, based on what you wrote, I would not take those together if you want to be the most efficient. Hear me out- pick a harder test, like algebra or statistics. You can pair a harder test with the marketing, and then the next time pair a harder test with the management. This way you have one in the bag- and only one to study for. If I had to give you another, it would be to pair analyzing and interpreting literature with another harder test, but allow a short break in between on that day.
Using this method, you are knocking out 2 at a time, but only studying for one. This will get you probably 6 tests in 3 sessions. The other method burns through the easy ones in one session- and it will take you 5 sessions for 6 exams.
Good Luck!
