Yeah I failed thanks instantcert!

On the Humanities exam I answered each section 3X within a month, but I was also mixing studying for my 12 credits for TESC as well. That could be why I wasn't retaining the material as well as I should've. But your idea sounds better so I think I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the advice.

Your plan seems quite adventurous to say the least. There are several members from the past that absolutely flew through their tests, I was able to do about 4 a month...but that was solely based on the material and how confident I felt about my comprehension of the materials and knowledge base of the subject. Some tests, like College Math, took me three weeks to prep for using a tutor and several different sources of study. My point being, is that we're all different and we all learn at different rates using different methods. Just because you read that one member only studied 1 day and passed a test doesn't mean that you will too. Take each test by itself, be patient and use the forum search features as most questions have been asked and answered already...this will give you an almost instant answer to your inquiry.

I liken a degree plan to the old adage "How do you eat and elephant?"... the answer being "one bite at a time". I found setting up a game plan an effective way to conquer the sometimes overwhelming prospect of finishing my degree. My method was to make a list of all the classes I needed. I put them in order of those that overlapped with those that were either going to be a bear or an easy pass; this gave me something to look forward to after I tackled a tough one.

Don't assume anything when it comes to preparing for a test. Again, a test that was cake for me might me a real challenge to you. I NEVER read anything about pass rates as I feel they either give a false sense of security or may psych you out...it really comes down to how well you prepare and nothing else. I took tests that had less than a 20% pass rate and thought they were fairly easy with the right preparation.

This forum is a wealth of knowledge and you'll find the members here very empathetic to what your going through as we've all been there. Use the search engine, go through the IC questions until they become second nature (not just the blank spots but the question and complete answer as well), search the web for practice online tests and use supplemental study material if you feel you need some. I don't think I'm the exception when I say that IC and practice tests were all I needed for 90% of my degree. However, if you feel you need more than IC then use outside resources as it's better to take an extra week or two to thoroughly prepare for a test than to fail it and start all over again. Once you get a few passes under your belt, your confidence will grow and you'll discover what it takes for you to be successful. We're all different when it comes to learning but in the end, our goal is a common one.

Good luck and let any of us know if there's any way we can help you. Most of us could not have gotten through this without the help of this forum, we are eager to repay the debt and see all members reach their goal/join the graduation club.
