Granted each one of us is knowledge in different areas.
But which one of the following...do you recommend taking first.

Vote for the one subject that you think a 'newbie' should test out on to get "their feet wet with" doing a clep test.
In order words, if some one had NO knowledge what so ever in these choices.
What is your opinon of the easiest test you took.
And what specific study guide did you use for that test. (list your score if you like)

Hope I am making my polling thread/request clear.

Please also post the order of your other recommendations.

Voting ends in 47 days. (Wanted to make it a weird/odd number and brief.) LOL

Thank you in advance for all that vote (help me make a decision on what to study first--I appreciate it greatly.)

Which one do you recommend as a supplemental to IC study guide?

Just would like your recommendations. These were the only printed books that I could find on this clep course.
(And the only difference I could find in option 1 & 2 was the edition release date.)

The OTHER could mean InstantCert WITH an additional study guide (please specify what guide you recommend).


Please vote early the "polling office" closes in 60 days.

Rats!!! Missed the 'boat" on knowing this info 20 years ago!

If you are a Veteran with MGIB, did you know you can get reimbursed for CLEP and other tests now? I thought it was only active duty who could get them free but was apparently wrong.

Hi all,

Since the test center had a opening and I had the time I went ahead and took US History 1 this morning also. Passed with a 65. There were more questions on women's roles and concerns than I had expected but other than that I think that IC was plenty. The breakdown of the exam on collegeboard.com was right on the money. As someone else has said-this is a broadbased exam. So knowing the major people and events is the key.

I've looked over the requirements for Excelsior's Bachelor of Science in General Business and on of them actually gives me some concern...its in reguard to the english requirement. I seem to recall that Excelsior will not accept any form of Exam Credit other than its own ECE exam. Is this true? Is there no other way to satasfy the requirement? Any help is greatly valued.

Not too much to be said that already hasn't been. The key to this test (besides taking the practice tests and studying the literature terms) is to read passages once, quickly, and carefully. At first, I found myself re-reading passages and remembered the warnings here about doing just that. I quickly changed my strategy and glanced through the questions/answers first, read the material (the answers usually jump out at you) then answered the questions. This way, I was able to end with 10 minutes to spare. There were two poems that I had great trouble understanding what planet they were from, much less what they were talking about (not a big fan of this crap). The rest were written so you could at least understand the subject matter and get the just of the story's intent. All in all, not a bad test and I would have to say a pass. Still nothing on the other 5 tests I've taken, but word on the street is the base received a bunch in; hopefully I should know something soon. I spent an entire 6 hours preparing for this test using Peterson's practice CLEPS

http://www.petersons.com/testprep/code/prompt.asp?sponsor=8&referer_type=EG&test_id=107 (CODE FL5518)

and Collegeboard's website's practice test (50 questions). Not needed if you do all 3 of the Peterson's tests.

Next on the block is World Population next Thursday. I'll start filling in my scores
once the results come in. Lee

I am scheduled for American Government on 8/16 and after that, I have one more elective to CLEP. What do you guys think would be a good choice? I am an accounting major so I need something fairly simple since these classes are more difficult as I am senior.

Thanks in advance or the advice

Well,

It was challenging. I think I passed, will find out in 2 wks.

For anyone going to take it soon, have an understanding of ALL the subject matter from IC and the DSST book. Know your theories well.

Will post results as soon as I get them.
