Amount of studying everyone does?

It depends on the subject. Last October I CLEPed out of 24 credits. I usually study about 1-2 weeks per subject. I read a lot, so I do have a good foundation to start with. A&I Lit, Intro to Computing and HG&Development I studied about 2 hours each. It just depends on your strength. I've taken 2 tests on the same day when the subjects seemed to be similar.

Humanities took me about a month. I ended up making a huge poster with the different composers, artist, architects etc. separated by time period. It was my first test and I was really nervous. As you take more tests it gets easier to gauge your readiness.

Good luck on your tests! I'm sure you'll do fine.

(If you haven't taken a Peterson's test you might want to...they are a great readiness indicator. If you can get 50% right or more then you are ready for the CLEP. Peterson's is always much harder than the real thing)
