Advice on studying?

[cookderosa]

Hi all,

I'm currently working my way through all the Saylor courses in pursuit of my BSBA, but I'd very much like to speed up my progress. After I finished my first one, I realized it had taken me almost two months, which is just too long.

I'm basically starting from zero, as all my CLEP tests are more than 20 years old, and can no longer be accessed. I'd very much like to finish my degree in two years, which by my calculations means I should be roughly finishing two courses a month.

I realize I have to give up on the idea of "acing" tests if I want to go faster, and since all these subjects will be recorded as passes rather than having grades attached to them there's no real reason to be an overachiever beyond personal satisfaction. My situation is such that personal satisfaction needs to take a back seat to having a Bachelors as quickly as I can manage.

So any advice on how to speed up my studying would be greatly, greatly appreciated!

Of course the InstantCert flash cards are excellent.

The Poli Sci TECEP is 100 MC questions with no essays and a 65 to pass. http://www2.tesc.edu/tecep_desc/POS-101.pdf Do some research through the forum and you may find more efficient ways to get through this. For example recommended text + Instacert (or other flash cards for a similar exam) + some youtube videos.

World History TECEP - see above.

I saw the two comm classes in one of Sanantone's wiki entries. Were you looking for one to meet a requirement that Technical Writing TECEP would also fill? If so, use the TECEP.
