Hi everyone!
For the sake of paying forward, I am writing this to share my experience with my exam this afternoon; the same way the others did which really helped me a lot!
Background: I'm a nurse, taking my BSN online. I am currently registered for 2 classes, working full-time and have 2 boys (1 yo & almost 3 yo). In short, I have no time to study for CLEP! But I need it badly if I want to earn my degree next semester to exempt me from 2 classes:Fine Arts and Humanities. So I registered with IC last December but I have taken only 2 sample exams in Humanities, Fiction and Non-Fiction Literature since then. I do not have anymore chance to study because I am currently taking classes that are also reading and writing intensive.
But I have a deadliest deadline: Take the exam today (Feb 24) or forfeit my registration for the last credit I need. So, I studied sample exams from 3 clep book (I only get a chance to go through 1 sample test in REA), then went through the blogs/messages in the discussion forum this morning especially some post-test clues from previous test-takers. They were right on!
Thanks ponygirl for being generous. I wish I know a way to attach your reviewer here to help more people.
