    Really? Wow! Thank you for the feedback Gary! I did go somewhat heavy on the prep for this one as I had to get an A in order to get the credit. Much cheaper than $1400!

    67 (50) History of U.S. I (CLEP)
    67 (50) History of U.S. II (CLEP)
    66 (50) Introductory Sociology (CLEP)
    61 (50) Principles of Macroeconomics (CLEP)
    61 (50) Principles of Microeconomics (CLEP)
    70 (46) Management Information Systems (DANTES)
    71 (50) Principles of Management (CLEP)
    63 (50) Introductory Psychology (CLEP)
    63 (48) Here's to your Health (DANTES)
    57 (49) Drug and Alcohol Abuse (DANTES)
    70 (46) Ethics in America (DANTES)
    63 (46) Principles of Supervision (DANTES)
    63 (48) Introduction to World Religions (DANTES)
    55 (47) General Anthropology (DANTES)
    46 (47) The Civil War and Reconstruction (DANTES) (my only failure!)
    66 (46) Introduction to Business (DANTES)
    61 (49) Criminal Justice (DANTES)
    64 (46) Human Resource Management (DANTES)
    57 (45) Introduction to Law Enforcement (DANTES)
    51 (48) Money and Banking (DANTES)
    49 (46) Principles of Finance (DANTES)

    Studying for me is usually a two step process.

    1) I say "with this test I'm really going to buckle down and devote time and thought and energy to this".

    2) Two days before the test I say "oh crap I forgot to study", and cram the next two nights in a row.

    Obviously, InstantCert.com has pulled me through even still. I've retaken Civil War using only InstantCert (but devoting a little more time) -- hopefully I can correct my one failure .

    thanks for posting your information and scores, I appreciate your use of InstantCert only.

    Another one down. Passed Intro to Psychology today with a 55. A pass is a pass. I am going to try to take Principles of Management next Tuesday, so less than a week of study.

    I passed Principles of Supervision with a score of 60. Not as great as I thought, but I'm happy with it.

    Default Another one down - Principles of Marketing

    Took this one tonight and got a 74! Another one down...Macroeconomics up next. I know a number of other IC'ers knock 'em out much quicker, but for me it's an achievement to have knocked this one out with only 5 days of part-time studying. I'm beginning to get to believe "I think I can...I think I can"...make it to the end!
