Clep Math - study order advice

[mudd3.0]

Have you tried the REA CLEP study plan book with practice exams for that exam?  It tends to have an orderly method in my experience with the ones we used.

I highly recommend the REA CLEP book.  I second the observation about it being orderly.  The best thing about the REA is that it sets the parameters for your study.  Use it to "hold on to the banister," if you will, so you stay on track on the skills you need for the CLEP.  That way, if you need more practice on any area, you can branch out to Instantcert flashcards, Khan, etc., on the issue you need help with.

It's daunting to approach math after so much time has passed by, but I have found, in tutoring my own folks after years away from "scary math," that's it's actually not that bad.  Yes, you have to put in the time and practice, but it's just systems, and the CLEP will stick with the things they say they are testing.  Use the College Board percentages to guide you. 

Free-clep-prep.com is great in setting out the overview, and if you need a different approach, any of the test prep materials I have purchased there have been very good.  

Finally, all the great folks here on the Instantcert discussion forums are SUPER!  A shout-out to all those generous people who took the time to jot down their thoughts about the tests.  Be SURE to check out what others have observed.  It will keep you on track, instead of feeling like you have to know everything. 

Just learn what you need to learn, and learn it well.  Targeting studying, my friend.
