Hello,


First, thank you ALL so much for all the posts. The posts and tips have made all the difference in my journey to my degree at UOPhx. You all have been great coaches. I have 5 exams to graduate in June. I have no time to spare.
Please share tips on strategy for the College Math exam, CLEP.
I take it tomorrow. I am in ATL.


Thanks,

Here is the only tip I can offer...........Don't fail, it sucks!!

I say this in the context of my own miserable math experience but also add that you should be sure of your skills via plenty of study and practice/mock exams. GOOD LUCK!!

Sorry I can't help you on that one but I did want to say good luck from a fellow Georgian.
Where do you take your exams?

When I used the Comex book to study for Math there were guidelines on how to answer CLEP questions. I have used the guidelines on all of my multiple choice tests.

1.If you know the correct answer, answer and do not give it a check mark.

2.If you are deciding between two answers, answer it and give it a check mark.

3.If you are deciding between 3 answers, check mark it and do not answer it.

4.If you are clueless, do not give it a check mark or answer it.

Then once you have gone through the test in this manner, review your answers in this way:

5.Go to the unanswered questions with checkmarks and answer those and uncheck them.

6.Then go to the unanswered, unchecked questions and answer those and uncheck them.

7.At this point all questions should be answered and you are left with the checkmarked questions that were between 2 answers. Now go back and look at them to see if you are satified with the choice that you made. I rarely change my answers on those, unless as I took the test more clarity came for that answer.


The first few times that I used this system I wrote down on test center scrap paper the process so that I could refer to it.
