I'm taking the first half of history. I've never used IC before but I'm excited to try. I tried CLEPing out of English once and failed by four points. It's very important that I pass this one for my own confidence and also because I live so far to commute from the college that I could save my parents so much gas money. I'm really at a loss of where to start studying though and I'm having trouble finding good books to read. Does anyone have any suggestions? I also would like to know what is most important to focus on . . . Thanks for your help.

I need some input. I need 6 Social Sciences credits. I already have Intro to Sociology from previous credits so that's out. I've read the Psych is a good exam to take and have scheduled a test date. Is this the best exam to take? I have to admit that my initial take on studying is that it seems like a lot to retain since I have very little prior knowledge. Any other suggestions for my other 3? or in place of Psych? Thanks.

I am torn on what I should do.... I have one cass left to finish out my BS in Liberal Studies via Excelsior. I was planning on taking Social Psych but it would be self study (no great IC Study Guide ) and recent people have cleared a "C". I am teetering on honors and want an upper level I can get a good score on. I have yet to take either Civil War or Soviet Union history tests for the simple fact I have zero interest in either of them, to study them is pure misery. Anyone out there have any advice? I know I previously posted I don't care about the honors, but after all this work, why not go for it? Your help, as always, is appreciated. Thanks, Lee

Hello,

I just passed my CLEP Computer Information test yesterday. InstantCert was very helpful!!!
For all of you studying, make sure, you have a look at the Management Information Systems too. I was suprised that there were a lot of questions to MIS and DSS.

Hello everyone and Happy New Year!:

I am sitting for Environment and Humanity next week-January 20th. If all goes well this will be my final DANTES exam and the Excelsior math/science portion of my degree will be completed. I looked at some previous threads in regards to the exam which were very helpful. I also want to publicly thank ShotoJuku for letting me know about the "Pass your Class" materials.

For my final push, I am relying on the study guides I developed from the other threads as well as IC and passyourclass. Has anybody taken a recent version of the exam that had any questions on prehistoric man? I really have not looked at this too much, and do not want to waste time if there is a chance it will not be on the exam. Also, does anybody have a link to a quick,concise breakdown of prehistoric man that I could study?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Finally, this site has made studying SO much easier,it provides information and support that cannot be found elsewhere!

Till next time,
Mike

Just passed my first CLEP today- US History I with a 52.

Looking at taking HTYH next, DSST lists it as a science class. Does anyone have experience with this being accepted as such? What would an equivilent class be?

Thanks for the help

I just passed American Government with a 67! Thanks IC.

I orginally planned to test out of Excelsior's liberal arts program, but I noticed that you can complete their BSB program completely through testing also. My intent is to finish the undergrad as fast as possible so I can start my MBA with my employer, because it is free. Is anyone in the process or successfully tested out of the BSB program? Did any hiccups happen a long the way?

For those have taken both the CLEP Principles of Management and DANTES Principles of Supervision, how much overlap and redundency is there between the two i.e. If you are prepared for Management, take it and pass, is it fair to say you could pass Supervision as well only using the DSST Handbook and IC?

I am planning to take these two and then Organizational Behavior, Intro to Business, and Principles of Marketing. I am trying to group together closely related exams.

My plan is to schedule Management first, and then schedule Supervision the following week, using the time in between to syudy the Supervision IC flashcards and handbook. Does this sound like a good approach?

Any advice would be much appreciated...

Are there any other pre test sites or materials for this test? I see Finish College Fast - Pass Your Clep Tests - Guaranteed! has a study guide but from previous experience with other exams I know it alone is not enough.

After I take DSST Here's to Your Health tomorrow, I will only have 1 test remaining.
The problem is that I will only have 5 days to study for this final test. The choices that I have are DSST Drug and Alcohol Abuse or CLEP Human Growth and Development.

Which test is easier? What would you take?
Any tips for either test?

Thanks,
Shawn
