CLEP - Memory or Gut?

[MISin08]

What's important with IC is reading and understanding the full text of the answer. The 'answer' you type into the blank is less critical (some folks who post here say they don't bother typing in the answer, they just read the explanation over and over again). Remembering the answer because you remember what you read (not because you work hard to remember what to type in the blank) is probably the best use of the 'fill in the blank'. Does that make sense? It's a little hard to write about.

What will probably happen on the actual CLEP, is you'll see the multiple answers, you'll be able to throw out the obvious wrong ones, and say to yourself "Oh yeah, I read about this" and choose the the right one, or "I didn't read about that but because of something else I read, I know this one isn't right so it has to be __".

And for me -- I like to use more than IC, at least on tests related to my major. The exam feedback is full of good tips on that.
