    Default Marketing clep on Wednesday~

    eeeek! Was basically told friday by my employer I need to Clep this test by this week to be considered for a promotion by the end of the year~

    So- I just got through reading the specific exam thread, and well- just want to get some more feedback.

    I am doing the flashcards- writing them down one by one, going back after doing 10 cards - entering answers, then doing the next ten and writing down and going back and doing the 20 i just learned....etc. Then after finishing the section I randomize it and then go back to previous sections and go on until i finish the section i just did. Tedious, but given i have freaking 4 days, i assume this should work??!! I am learning a lot but seems it is all melting into one lump of knowledge~

    I started yesterday and now am on section 5. I plan on using some of the links provided on this site and I also have the college board clep exam (which i took last night, could not wait to apply the knowledge)---

    So just want honest opinion here--- do you think I can pass going on like this?

    You should do fine. That's just about how I studied with the IC flashcards. I passed with IC + the official practice exam + googling a half-dozen terms I didn't fully understand.

    I have no marketing background and got a 75 (out of a possible 80) in just 35 minutes. It is tied with Principles of Management for the easiest standardized exam of any kind that I have ever taken. Respect the test but don't let it freak you out. Good luck.
