I'm scheduled to take intro psych and principles of management. I've studied hard for the intro psych exam, principles of management I've only studied for a little bit, but I've heard a lot of that exam is common sense stuff. My anxiety level is pretty high, since these are my first clep exams, I don't have a clue what to expect.
Wish me luck

I am looking at Instantcert to study for the D&A Abuse. Is Instantcert better than the REA's clep books for clep test? I was not impressed with the clep books and the test I took asked very little questions on the material I studied. I have just heard about Instantcert and am curious whether or not it is worth the $20 a month to purchase. Is Instancert all you need to pass the test? Any advice? Thanks

I've got a pretty good handle on the English Comp with Essay and the Analyzing Lit exams. I've armed myself with InstantCert and some other study materials.
Now here's the big question: Can you pass the CLEP just by studying (with no prior knowledge of the subject)? I'd like to hit the Western Civ I and II and the Intro to Psych exams. I am an adult learner and really need to maximize my credits.
Thanks for your advice!!

[SIZE="3"][COLOR="Indigo"][COLOR="Black"][COLOR="Purple"]I know very few do, but is anyone aware of one that does? I'm trying to find a junior college that does this so I could transfer credit over to my college. I realize there probably is a min. amount of credit you have to complete to have the credit listed, but I can do a distance course or something. I appreciate your help
Edit: Does anyone know if I can attend Excelsior even if I won't complete my degree there?
Thanks, Kelsey[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE]

Well I'm down to my last 2 test, I have about 3 weeks to prepare and pass 2 more Dantes test for my Bachelors degree at Governors State University. The 2 I've decided to take are Civil War and Reconstruction and Rise and Fall of the USSR. I have very little knowledge on these subjects, and I'm starting to panic that they may be over my head. Using IC and Wikipedia, is it reasonable to think that if I dedicate 1 hour per day that I will have given myself sufficient time to pass these test? I squeaked by on Drug and Alcohol Use with only IC and about 3 days of study using IC only, but I get the feeling I got really lucky. Have I not given myself enough time to handle these 2 test? What do you guys think?

I received an e-mail yesterday from Charter Oak State College that my Academic Autobiography has been approved. This completes all requirements for my bachelor's of science degree;I will graduate in May.
Instantcert was a tremendous help in completing my degree plan. Listed below are the Clep and Dantes tests I completed with their corresponding score and credits earned. Also listed is study materials used for each exam.
1. Humanities 62- 6 credit Instantcert and REA Study Guide 11/05
2. Social Science and History 64- 6 credit Instantcert and REA 12/05
3. English Comp w/Essay 51- 6 credit English Grammer for Dummies,REA 02/06
4. Natural Sciences 60- 6 credit REA Study Guide 03/06
5.Analyzing and Interpeting Lit. 61- 6credit REA Subject Book 04/06
6. American Goverment 60- 3 credit CliffNotes 05/06
7.Principles of Management 61-3 credit REA Subject Book 05/06
8.Principles of Public Speaking 61- 3 credit used a book I picked up at Border's for $10.00, and internet sites like Toastmaster's. 06/06
9. Intro to World Religions 73- 3 credit Instantcert, book from Border's 06/06
10. Ethics in America 78- 3 credit Instantcert only 07/06
11. History of the United States I, 66- 3 credit CliffsNotes, Instantcert 07/06
12. Foundations of Education 67- 3 credit Instantcert only
13. Intro Sociology 65- 3 credit REA Subject Book 08/06
14.Intro Psychology 70- 3 credit CliffsNotes 09/06
15.Intro to Ed. Psychology 64- 3 credit Instantcert,GRE psych. book 10/06
16. History of United States II, 67- 3 credit CliffsNotes,Instantcert 10/06
17. Here's to Your Health 66- 3 credit Instantcert only 10/06
18. Accounting 50- 6 credit picked up a book at Border's about $15.00. 11/06
19. College Math 56- 6 credit REA,multitude of other books,time 11/06
Also completed the 1 credit Computer Literacy course now required.
All told 79 credits in just under a year (barely). Certainly not a rarity on this board. There are many who have completed far more test in a shorter period of time than I. So if you are hesitating,and procrastinating out of fear, don't.
In case you're wondering I had accumulated 41.7 credits prior to matriculating with Charter Oak. Of these 36 were upper level in my concentration,so I only needed to earn lower level credit to complete my degree.
