i'm an e-3 in pensacola, fl. i just finished my navy "a" school and wanted to finally get a college degree. i joined instantcert about 6 weeks ago and have passed 12 clep/dsst tests in that time with no failures, averaging 2-3 tests per week with a score usually in the upper sixties or low seventies. i've earned 42 credits in that time, and, along with my military training, i should only be about 10 credits shy of my associate's degree, though i'm sure not all of the credits i've earned will transfer perfectly.
instantcert is my primary study source, though i've used wikipedia and utube to suppliment here and there along with hippocampus.org and khanacademy.org for some good videos on math, economics, biology, geology, etc. i usually cram about 2-3 days for some of the "easier" tests and about a week for the 6-credit tests or those with a reputation for being "hard". use the forums here for specific info you'll need to know about each test and check with your college to make sure the tests you want to take will be accepted by them.
anyway, it can be done. good luck!
