Initial Saylor exam test experiment

What I found out on this particular test was that none of the three practice tests had relevance to the test for credit. The reason people say the test for credit is harder is that the material being tested on may be very different.

1. The automated proctor took about 30 minutes to get working but seemed to work very well once running.
2. Paying $5 to better understand what is even on the test is major in my opinion, and you might even pass.
3. I think taking the pre-tests helps a little but not enough to pass. Information you already know and studying areas within the test after you take the for-credit test will give you the best chance.
4. This also solves issues with me being overseas often. I can get these using the automated proctor.
5. You get your score right away.

In short taking, the main for credit test is the only way to know what is on it. The guides are broad, and you will not remember all information. So Take the test for $5 and then study. The most you will spend is $15 and that is much cheaper than most other sites or tests. I also think this is a  much faster way to gather some credits in areas you might already know much about such as CS or business.

This is why the running joke is to buy an extra computer monitor before taking the Saylor final exam.  Because after you fail the test, you will be chucking the computer monitor out the window! Lol.

Did you carefully review the study guide like I suggested? And did the final closely reflect the study guide?

Saylor started adding those study guides after many people failed the final to help. Those guides were not there originally just a few years ago.

I'm going to attempt to pass the Intro to Political Science Saylor exam. I scored 70's on the practice exam, so we'll see if a couple of hours of studying is enough to pass the final. 

CLEPs are far easier since you can pass by knowing around 50% of the information. However, international students can't do CLEPs. 

I studied for 10 hours to pass the CLEP Sociology, knowing zero information about Sociology at the start of the course. A lot of those CLEPs you can pass with around 20 hours of studying, which is 5x faster than doing a butt-in-seat college course.
