    Default 10 tests done in 4 (testing) days (Updated)

    I just walked out of the testing office after having completed four exams. I completed three exams last Wednesday, two exams the Wednesday before, and one more the week before that. Plus, I took nearly all of these tests cold. I took one or two of the practice tests for a few of the exams, but other than that, no studying.

    I didn't intend this post to sound like bragging, so I apologize if it does. Here's what I have taken so far:

    Human Growth & Development (CLEP) 61/50
    Information Systems & Computer Applications (CLEP) 60/50
    American Government (CLEP) 50/50 (close call!)
    Introductory Sociology (CLEP) 60/50
    Introduction to Computing (DSST) 432/400
    Principles of Supervision (DSST) 58/46
    Personal Finance (DSST) 422/400
    Here's to Your Health (DSST) 433/400
    Introduction to Law Enforcement (DSST) 59/45
    Criminal Justice (DSST) 409/400 (another close call)

    Next week I'm planning to take Organizational Behavior, Human Resource Management and General Anthropology.

    I just finished an AS-LA (area of focus-music) and am transitioning to the BS-Communications degree plan (emphasis-public relations).
    The comm. degree requires 33 credit hours, so my plan is to only have to take those 33 credits, which, coupled with military training credits, as well as credits I have earned through classes so far and CLEP/DSST should satisfy all of the requirements.

    I believe that if I can take 2 or 3 of the upper level DSST exams in addition to the 3 I'm planning to take next week, that will be all I need except for the comm. major requirements.

    Good job! I feel like I could have passed a lot of them cold as well, but didn't want to take the risk. I'm guessing you are able to take them for free. Keep up the good work.

    What the $#%&*!
    That's freaking outstanding. So what's your excuse for not having a degree yet? You're making me feel slow, I take a test or two every other month.
