Cool Go Hard or Go Home!!!

I would agree with Brian...I'd go for it...It's natural to start second guessing yourself...I did...So I know from experience.

I took my very first CLEP Tuesday, April 1, 2008 @ 2pm. I took the Social Sciences & History CLEP which is probably on the very same wavelength with the Humanities exam. Meaning that it covers a wide range of topics. In my honest opinion, if you have the guts to take a test of that magnitude for your very first test, then you have to give yourself some credit.

Believe in yourself...and when you're done with that exam and you click on that "report scores" tab...you will smile a smile you've never smiled before!!!....I did.

I was in the same boat as you. The closer I got to my exam day...the worst I felt. I started second-guessing myself. Mind you, it was my very first CLEP. I think it's human nature to get nervous when you take yourself out of your "comfort zone," but it's worth it in the end. I waited for a good 30 - 45 seconds before I even clicked on the "report scores" tab. And too my astonishment (I thought I didn't do as well) I got a 60...at the very least I just wanted to pass!!!

Before I go I would like to leave you with 2 quotes that I love.

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us" - Oliver Wendell Holmes

"Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least." - Goethe

You can do it....GOOD LUCK...and let us know what you get so we can celebrate with you.

From a loyal degree seeker,

Marshall
