    69 - Introduction to Business Law. All based on InstantCert. (Fell asleep reading the text book TOOO many times.) I spent 4 months getting ready and was always too scared to schedule the exam. Finally scheduled it and found out the next day that my brother was flying over from Japan. It was the only Saturday that he would be around. Almost cancelled but didn't. Glad to get the first of many out of the way.

    OUTSTANDING!!!! I remember when I used to study that long and finally figued out I could cut it way down. I now take 3 weeks per exam, and I have learned that many others here in the IC group study much less than that.

    Perhaps you can increase your exam frequency without compromising efficiency (test results) by adjusting (decreasing) your study time and get a lot more accomplished in a lot less time. You will find your study time median eventually - Great Job Again!!

    Congratulations dhlvrsn!

    Now that you have taken one exam, you will have a better feel for what to expect next time. As ShotoJuku already said, you will eventually find your own tempo.

    Four months is a little on the steep side for ANY of these exams. But I do understand your anxiety about actually scheduling it and getting it over with. Now that it is done, hopefully 'fear of the unknown' will not be so much of an issue for you.

    I wish you all the best with your future exams.

    Let us know if we can help in any way. It's a great bunch of people here, and I'm sure that, between us all, we will be able to answer any questions you may have...even if you just need encouragement and moral support along the way!

    Take care,
    Snazzlefrag

    Going to use Cracking the CLEP By the Princton Review.

    I also have a CLEP Colllege Mathematics by Comex Systems Inc. I ordered a "used" copy from a dealer on Amazon.com for $4.00 with no shipping charge.. what I got was a new copy of the book.. no blemishes or nothing.

    I am debating about ordering some review software I found:

    http://www.mathmedia.com/clepprep.html

    But $89.00 sounds a bit pricey for stuff that is already in a $4 book. But then again.. its cheaper than a $1450 course too..(Local price at one of the schools in the area).
