Welcome
Hello FloppyDee and welcome to InstantCert.
My name is Marshall and I am a newbie as well. I joined instantcert back in November last year and have found this forum to be an excellent tool. The people on here are great and are extremely helpful.
I am 26, will be turning 27 in a week so I too have been out of high school for almost a decade. I believe you will find that with the proper guidance and determination you will be able to succeed in your degree pursuits.
To answer your basic question...the answer is yes. I believe I am extremely "average" but one who has great potential if I apply myself. Unlike you...I don't not have any credits to my name except for about 25 credits I have through taking FEMA courses online. I will be taking my first CLEP test on Tuesday, April 1.
My advice to you would be to get to know the people on this forum well...they are a tremendous source of information. If you have a question about a specific CLEP or DANTES Exam, check out the Specific Exam Thread on this forum. Also...do not sleep on the public library system! The library is an excellent resource for study materials (and it's free)! Also, check out the practice tests on the Petersons website if you haven't already....here is the link:

Also, if you are not an IC (instantcert academy) member I would suggest you become one. The standard membership here is only $20 a month and the study materials on IC are in flashcard format. They will help you prepare for both CLEP and DSST, as well as ECE Exams (Excelsior College Examinations and TECEP Exams. They're an excellent study help as well. I signed up about 3 weeks ago, and it has been an extremely helpful resource to me.
I wish you luck on your journey and if you have any other questions or concerns feel free to ask and anyone on this forum will be glad to help you.
From a loyal degree seeker,
Marshall
