Cool Just One at a Time...

I would suggest taking one at a time if you are just starting out. I couldn't gauge from your post if you've ever taken a CLEP before.

The only reason I say "just one" is because I know how mentally draining tests can be for me, and that's when I'm prepared!!! I was totally prepared to pass the Principles of Management CLEP and did with a 68. My administrator asked me if I wanted to take another one and I said, "No Way!" One at a time is enough for me.

The second reason is because of the money and time issue. I would hate to fail a test all because I put too much pressure on myself. Then on top of losing your money for the test & administrative fee, you have to wait 6 months before you can take it again.

However, there are some people who are the "exception" and not the rule. I don't know what kind of test taker you are or what you are capable of, so you can take my advice with a grain of salt. It is just my advice.

Hope this helps at all.

From a loyal degree seeker,

Marshall
