Hello everyone:

I'm preparing to sit the American Literature CLEP and to be honest, I'm not too confident that I'll pass this one. Form what I've been reading on this and other forums, I get the impression that this CLEP is the one of hardest ( if not the hardest exam) with a very low pass rate. I will greatly appreciate any guidance from the forum members that already took this CLEP on how to go about studing for this exam. Thank you.:confused:


Passed CLEP Micro and Intro Psychology.

I am frustrated :mad: because I have called a number of local testing sites and they are telling me that they won't make any appts until after the first week of Sept. due to new students being tested. This is frustrating because I was revved up to get at least two CLEPS done by the middle of August. Then two more in Sept.

What are some opinions on studying a few subjects simultaneuosly over a six week period? Good or bad for CLEP results?

I know that they are about the same in some aspects, but just how different are the contents? I have heard that Intro To Computing is very basic computer stuff and Information Systems and Computer Applications is more indepth, but just how different?

Just want to make sure I am studying the correct stuff. Taking them Wednesday a.m. Wish me luck.

Just got back from a major road trip. I took materials with, but just couldn't concentrate to study in the car or in motels, too much scenery, too much on my mind.

I am scheduled to take US History II and Am Gov on Tuesday, but I think I will reschedule for next week, my last week off before returning to teacher's meetings and then school again. I also am still waiting on my only two DSST tests to arrive at my testing center. I think I could do all four next week, two CLEPS on one day and the two DSST on another.

I just don't feel ready for an August 1st date. I have felt like I was on such a roll, and this feels like a failure in someways, but I think I need to reframe it as a wise decision until I get back on track mentally and physically.

I am lucky in that I test at a small college, and they are open to rescheduling.

What do you think? :confused:

Good to be back, and hooray for all the hard work I've been reading about!

So the DSST exam apparently has an essay portion. Can anybody tell me more about that? How hard is it, and are you expected to use examples from Kant, Plato etc.? How much writing is required?

Thanks!

I'm taking US History II tomorrow and was wondering if the CLEP Official Guide is really representative of the exam. The reason I ask, I'm able to bang out 70-90% while taking the IC sections, but scored a measly 50% on the official practice exam.

Should I be concerned?

Is it wierd that I plan on taking english comp with essay early next week, yet I have no idea what the essay requirements are. I dont know how many paragraphs you need, if you need a hypothesis and do you need a closing paragraph. If anyone can give me a basic rundown, I would be very appreciative. Thanks in advance to all my wonderfull classmates on IC, especially the wise and helpfull snazzelfrag.

Hi everyone,

I am new to InstantCert and to this forum. I am studying for Intro to Pysch right now and then want to move on to Human Growth. Anyone take both? Is there a lot of overlap in the test materials on the CLEP?

Anyone want to share their experience with taking more than one CLEP in one day?

I'm taking the CLEP B-Law test on Monday. I've read through the threads....anybody take it recently who may not have posted their thoughts? Any additional suggestions would be very helpful.

Thanks.

I was more than ready to test for information system and computer aps. CLEP. I studied text book and instacert nonstop and felt I knew more than enough to test. At the last minute I went to Petersons site from info given here and now I dont think I'm ready. I scored a 53, 42 and 45. My problem was about 20% of the questions and answers were in abreviated form. Ex. RLTP OLTP MICR DSS. I had no clue to these and had to guess. The other qusestions I knew without a problem. Does anyone know if the actual CLEP test is abreviatated like Petersons is? I'm putting off testing until I know, I might have to go back and memorize abreviations.
