    Congratulations on passing Biology Avery, and thank you for your feedback too. Eight credits for one exam must feel WONDERFUL!!!


    How did you prepare for the exam? Do you have any additional advice to share with us? What do you plan on taking next?

    Well done,
    Snazzlefrag

    Well done,
    Snazzlefrag

    I hit it hard, for about two weeks.
    Last Sunday through Wednesday (yesterday), I studied for about 12 to 16 hours
    a day. I do NOT reccomend this approach. These were my tools:

    1. VIDEOS: Watched two DVDs. The Standard Deviants' one was excruciatingly
    annoying, but very helpful.

    2. TEXTBOOK: I bought a used 1200 page Biology textbook that I only ended
    up using for the chapter on heredity.

    3. SELF-TEACHING GUIDES: Checked out three self-teaching guides from the
    library. Made it through most of the first one, one small chapter on ecology in
    the second, and didn't even read one page from the third.

    4. CRAM GUIDES: Checked out a Schaum's Easy Outline and read it from
    cover to cover. It was only 147 pages. Bought a Cliff's QuickReview and didn't
    even read a page.

    5. WWW: Surfed websites mentioned by learningasIgo in a post to another
    thread. That post and others were a big help in deciding which topics to study
    and how much study energy/time to apply to each one.

    6. INSTANTCERT FLASHCARDS: Studied all of the Biology sections (except
    for the four listed below) for hours and hours. Probably averaged three trips
    through each of the 12 sections I got through. This is were I spent the
    majority of my study time.

    Didn't get around to these last four sections:

    Principles of Ecology Part 2 [33 Questions]
    Principles of Evolution [88 Questions]
    Principles of Behavior [33 Questions]
    Social Biology [38 Questions]

    I almost forgot, yesterday morning I took the practice test in the 15th edition
    (2003) of the College Board's "Official Study Guide" to measure my progress.
    I got about 70% of the questions correct. I had a copy of the 17th edition
    (2005 ) as well, but didn't have time to take that practice test today, as I
    had planned.

    Hope this helps,
    Avery

    So, I think it's safe to say you did study for this one!


    Thanks Avery, your feedback was excellent and very helpful. I am contemplating taking this one at some point in the not too distant future. We'll see!

    Thanks again,
    Snazzlefrag

    If I had it to do over, I think I would have spread my approximate 65 hours of study time over one month instead of 10 or 11 days.

    Today, I finally took it.

    Even though I misjudged my pace, and ended up guessing on quite a few questions
    and even leaving some unanswered, I passed it with a score of 68! My school
    grants 8 credits for it, and it satisfies the physical sciences requirement for my
    AA degree.


    For those of you who have not taken a CLEP yet, I would like to relate a
    realization that I had today. During (and at the end of) each of the two CLEPS
    I have taken, I believed that I was scoring much lower than I actually was.
    Both times, I thought I might have actually failed until I actually saw my score.
    However, I did my best not to let my doubts affect my mental state until the test
    was complete. I think it is quite possible that, if I had let those false perceptions
    shake me during the tests, I might not have passed either one.


    Good luck to everyone!

    Avery

    Congrats on two great scores and the encouraging thoughts to those who will soon be taking their first exams too!!

    GREAT JOB!!!

    Took Principles of Management yesterday and passed with a 64! Pretty easy test, if you ask me. I used Instacert and the Comex book as my only study materials. The two overlapped so it was good to have the repetition and get all the material to really sink in. Easy 3 credits. Yea!

    Took the HG&D today and scored a 66. I used IC,peterson practice test and College board study guide. Most was pretty straight forward from IC. Some were fuzzy but its more then enough to pass with IC alone.

    I need one more LL test. Which one...Intro Phychology....orrrrrr......Educational phychology? (I have already taken Intro Sociology)

    Congrats on your exam!!


    I have taken both Psych and Ed Psych and my suggestion would be Psych as it will blend well with what you already learned from Soc - GOOD LUCK!!
