Thank you all so much for the information - especially Barcotta, who was both helpful and extremely witty! Categ is correct - that was a memorable line!
It makes sense that they're weighted differently, and that it could result in the pattern that I saw. I was just very confusing to receive the same scores across the board (6 CLEPs so far, all between 76 and 80) when I have very different comfort levels with the material.
Based on the Peterson's practice exams, I've scored between 75 and 100% correct on most of the exams, so I am relatively confident that I can pass many of them with a quick review. The exception is math; I dropped out of college the first time around to avoid taking a math class, and went on to have a great career as an editor and marketing executive despite not having a degree. But I do really need a degree. And somehow I will have to get through Statistics to get there. I should probably take the class through my University, but I'm aiming for Summa Cum Laude (and sitting pretty, as of now) and math will kill my GPA.
I joined InstaCert for the Statistics help. It's my only hope to get through this; I'm so stupid with math that the IRS sent my taxes back this year with a note saying I'd tried to overpay because I subtracted wrong. STUPID.
And to answer you, Barcotta, I'm in my thirties, and I'm an Irish History major at Regis in Denver. Irish History rather than marketing because it required less math :-) I'm CLEPping to save time. And Math.
