After failing pre-calculus (required for Thomas Edison business majors), I went to enroll in a pre-cal course at a junior collge - but they wouldn't let me in saying I had to have College Algebra AND Triginometry done before being able to enroll. As you know, there is no Trig clep but there is a College Algebra CLEP for three credits. College Algebra AND Trig will satisfy my pre-cal requirement (and all you TH buis majors). So I studied TWO DAYS with the REA College Algebra book (very good - perfect - has three full-length tests with EVERY PROBLEM worked out at the back) and scored a 64 today on College Algebra. Now I will enroll in a Trig course for the Spring (my first real college class....maybe I will quit whining about studying for tests now).

A big idea for any of you in the same boat as me to consider:
When I met with the head of the math dept, she said tech schools still offer a College Algebra/Trig course!!!! Find one that is accredited and you will fill this requirement without College Algebra!!! She said these tech school classes are WAY shorter than a traditional semester (sometimes eight weeks) and the subject matter is very basic (only a little right triangle trig combined with elementary algebra). I'm looking for one now to take instead of trig.....

WOO-HOO!!!! I AM SO PUMPED I PASSED!!!hilarious

Hey everyone,

My clep is tomorrow I have been studying for Intro to Psychology for approximately 2 weeks. I have studied the Instacert, read the REA book, and have taken one Peterson's Practice Exam today. (the day before the test) I only got a 43 on that exam...I am a little dissappointed and nervous about taking it tomorrow!! What do you all think? Thanks!

Hey everyone. I went down to the recruiting office today to take the AFOQT exam. I know this forum isn't for these types of exams, but I know alot of you guys and gals are in the armed services. I have a little more than a month to study for these exams. Does anyone recommend any particular study guide for these exams? I really want to become a fighter pilot and I need to do really well on these exams. If someone could help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hello folks I just wanted to know if anyone has taken the History of the Vietnam War,and how was it?I received a 5 DVD collection titled the same as the exam,and I was going to use it as my main source for the test.If anyone knows anything else that would help me,that would be greatly appreciated.hilarious

I've completed CLEP Intro to Business Law. I'd like to continue while I'm in that frame of mind and take DSST Business Law II.

Any suggestions on study material would be appreciated from those who have successfully past.

Hi everybody! I'm getting ready to take the DSST Here's to Your Health. I was just wondering if anyone out there has had any experiences with it. Was it hard? Easy? Does anyone know of a good study guide? Any info at all on this test would be greatly appreciated. This is the last test I need to pass before I finish up my BS/BA so I don't want to take any chances with it. Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello all. I've been lurking for a few weeks and finally decided to spit it out.. what do you think has been the easiest test so far? I've read that some think here's to your health and sociology are somewhat easy (maybe psychology too).

*I'd like to start out taking an easy one to build up my confidence for when I take any hard ones:p

I've looked over previous posts about the Macroeconomics CLEP and I read mixed opinions about it's difficulty.

For those who found it difficult, was it because the content was a surprise, or because it is math oriented, or something else?

For those that did well on the test what did you attribute that to?

Were there questions where you had to read graphs? Did you have to know the abbrevations, like AD, SAS, etc... ?

Right now I am starting off with InstantCert and I plan on looking at some of the other sites that were recommended in this forum. But as I'm reading the IC flashcards I feel like a lot of the material and concepts are new to me and the info keeps popping out of my brain. Has anyone had this feeling with economics and did you eventually grab ahold of the concepts presented in the IC cards?

I know that these are a lot of questions, but I would be grateful for any help.

Whats the difference between the two. I will be taking college algebra. How hard is this CLEP?

I would like to do biology in one month time, is Instant certification and Rea book in Biology good enough?

thank you
