Sorry for the long span without updates.
Lots of stuff has been happening.....
Anyways I just got home from Honolulu.
Got up a 4 AM, went to Kona, did special eye Dr. appointments with a portion of my family.
I took 4 CLEP tests back to back in 2 hours, well minus a restroom break and a sip of Starbucks.
The tests were Intro to MacroEconomics, Intro to Management, Intro to Marketing and Human Growth and Development.
I scored upper 50s to the upper 60's for the first three,
I forgot my exact test scores and I'm too lazy to dredge out my score papers right now.
Four days before the tests I realized I haven't studied much(work for Dad's business for $$ and lots of other work to keep my keep at the house, Ah the joy of 18). When I took the Peterson tests(they were down for a long time so I never checked them) I scored much lower than I wanted.
Petersons tests are about as hard or harder than the actual CLEPs, they compliment(are great for filling holes and learning things not mentioned otherwise) the REA books and InstaCert.
To add to my doubts my friend who wishes to be a CPA eventually barely based Macroeconomics and 8 months ago I failed(I took 4 CLEPs that day too) by 1 point previously with a score of 49.
The last minute cramming worked and I scored higher than I've done ever before on CLEP tests.
(I've never hit 60 before)
For the last test however, Human Growth and Development I failed by 2 points, a score of 48.
I didn't know it well enough, the REA book didn't have enough for my particular version of the test and with a day more of prepping with Petersons I would have more than likely scored slightly more than enough to pass.
Finally I didn't pick the book up for a few weeks, never did any recent testing and thought I knew the material well enough...
I've hit the conclusion you shouldn't do more than 3 CLEPs in a day and finally you shouldn't think you know it, or take a test on with deteriorated or incomplete knowledge.
In the end I'm happy, I earned 9 credits and have over 50 credits now.
Although they aren't in the correct areas for a AA so I need to take a couple more choice CLEPs and/or do some other courses to get my degree.
By the way if you want petersons tests, go here ......
