When I could go through a section and not miss a single question and knew the explanations....I would then move on to the next section.

One more tidbit of advice if I may. As I finished a section of a subject, I would go back to the beginning and go through them all again

This will really drill the information into your head; repetition is key. Is this a bit overkill? Sure is, but it worked perfectly for CLEPs, Dantes, and the 8 ECE tests I passed.... IC was my primary source of study and I tested out of my degree. Good luck!

BMWGuinness brought up a good point in his post....when I go back through the sections I have already completed, I ALWAYS do them in the random mode. You will learn to memorize the answer, this happens at the subconscious level even though you try not to; the random mode will truly test the absorption level of the material and bypass the memorization factor...to a great degree.

Great post and conversation...this is sure to help many people. Lee
