    Cool Tragic News....Death In the Family....

    Hello my dear friends.

    I regret to inform you that there was a death this afternoon. Another CLEP exam was pronounced dead at 2:24pm. The victim, Principles of Marketing was reportedly beaten 72 times.

    The test administrator at the scene reported that the perpetrator, mlwilliamsiv a.k.a Marshall, viciously beat the CLEP exam senseless for a full 90 minutes. The perpetrator had been plotting on this exam for 8 days prior to the incident.

    Testing centers across Ohio are being warned that there is an InstantCert madman on the loose and to schedule future appointments with caution.

    The perpetrator was said to have no known ties to the CLEP Principles of Marketing exam other than what was found on his accomplices website...InstantCert.com.

    The fugitive is still loose and whereabouts unknown. Unidentified sources say that he will strike again next week. The possible victim is reported to be the Introductory Business Law CLEP. CLEP Introductory Business Law was not available for comment.

    For more detailed coverage PM mlwilliamsiv for further information!!!!!!


    HEY GUYS!!!! I thought you'd get a kick out of this story!!! I made it up on the way home from the testing center!!! Can you believe that I got a 72 with just 8 days study!!! Going over all 315 flashcards three times and reading the HarperCollins College Outline on Introduction to Marketing!!! Today is a great day!!! 3 more credits!!!

    Thanks to all for their continued support and encouragement. It is always greatly appreciated!!!! IC is a godsend!!!

    Chat with you guys later.

    From a loyal degree seeker,

    Marshall
