College Algebra CLEP advise please!
#3
Here's the feedback I posted in the Specific Exam Feedback section. If you are paying for the IC flashcard service, you can access the rest of the thread too:

Ruddigore Wrote:I took this test after less than two weeks of preparation. Some months before, I had begun using REA’s book for the test, but found it too bare-bones. I needed some explanation and practice problems occasionally. That’s when I got my main study source: The CLEP Professor Program.

CLEP Professor’s College Algebra CD is wonderful. With it, anyone who has any memories of algebra can easily brush up for and pass this exam. Once I finished it, I was getting scaled scores from the lower to mid 60s on the REA exams and lower 70s on the CLEP Prof’s practice exams.

I reviewed REA’s third test before going into my test. Once I was in front of the computer and going through the tutorials, I performed a brain dump, writing down all the formulas I could remember (don’t let formula’s scare you; you CAN memorize them). This formula sheet was invaluable while I took the test, less because I used it a ton (probably for six questions max), but because it helped me to relax during the test.

When my final score of 62 appeared, I was very pleased. Anyone who can think mathematically can take this test, though it will take some preparation.
