    Wink Multiple Exams in ONE day???

    Has anyone taken more than one exam on the same day? If so, how did you study for them? What's your secret? Gingko? (gingko is a natural, herbal supplement long known to enhance memory).

    And how about Lawrie Miller (of BAin4weeks.com), who took up to 3 per day. Simply amazing, and I WISH! But, is it REALLY possible? Has anyone ever contacted this person directly?

    Thanks,
    Anne

    I took Analyzing and Interpreting Literature and American Government on the same day. I only did the CLEP study guide test for A&I so I still focused most of my attention on American Gov. I am going to take US History 2 and Principles of Public Speaking on Friday if all works out. I tried to study for US History 1&2 together but I found that my studying time was better spent focused on one test at a time. But then again I am a newbie and a youngin'! So those with more life experience and smarts have a lot more to go on!

    Sure. Many on this site have taken multiple exams in one day. I've never taken less than two and once took four--and I'm no genius! The secret? Group tests for which you have to study similar material, or make one of them a test which requires little preparation or study (A&I Lit), or, just study for two tests and take them together. Once you get into this a little, you'll see that it's possible, particularly with tests for which you are comfortable with the material. I'm studying for Statistics now. That'll be a one test day for me!

    I've done 2 in one day....Management Information Systems & Info Systems & Computer Applications. I did well on both exams. They both had very similar content.

    I have never taken less than 2 and have taken 7 in one day. It is a matter of what you are comfortable with and what you are willing to risk.

    I posted a message regarding the marathon day and here is a link to it.

    7 tests
