    Default Marketing Clep

    I'm taking this tomorrow and was wondering if anyone had any last minute tips or advice, I checked the specifc exam feedback which was great. Right now I am having a problem reading IC because the material is just so dry and un interesting, this is the first time I have ran into this problem.

    Now I am kind of nervous about taking the test.

    Default countdown...

    At this point the best thing you can do is relax, sleep and let your brain encode and process the info. I read a ton of stuff on how sleep helps memory. If anything it would be better to get a quick review in tomorrow/ (today.)

    Good luck budy!!!

    Hi Shadowless! I agree with Runner4064. You've probably seen the most recent thread on this exam (See below-in case you haven't). It is an average exam in terms of difficulty - and for some it was quite easy. I took this early evening when I was already quite tired, but found it to be quite straightforward and a lot of common sense - but I was careful not to dawdle and then finished w/20 mins to spare.

    The advice on the Exam specific thread is right on. So don't worry!

    Good luck!

    Yeah, I'd say best is to try to relax as well. With some subjects, you'd just have to persevere, no matter how boring it is.

    I had your same problem with Marketing, too dry and filled with jargon for a subject that's supposed to be very interesting. It does get a lot easier towards the end of the learning curve and remember, this is one of the easier exams (assuming you get past the material).

    Good luck!

    To those interested, I failed by a single point. DOUH!!!! Oh well, I will live, I am at the point where I think I should finally enrol in one of the big three with all my credits. I already have +60 from milary and around 72 from cleps plus traditional level 1 and 2 courses that translate to about 25 credits. So I don't really know what good taking more cleps will be in the long run.

    Sounds like a plan re time to enroll. I am sorry you missed principles of marketing by one point - that really sucks!
