I just started a group called Bachelors by 18 for homeschoolers wanting to/on the road to earn a degree by 18. If you're interested, please join! Here's a link: Groups - CLEP Forum - CLEP Study - CLEP Testing - Study Guide and Strategies. The Bachelors by 18 group should be at the top of the page.
If you are a homeschooler and this sounds interesting, please join!
If you've already achieved this, please join!
If you're not homeschooled/in high school but have ideas/advice for us, please join!
I'd love anyone who is interested in either helping people or actually working their way toward it to join!
Thank you and hopefully this group will really help and motivate a lot of people.

I like the high scores I've made on CLEP exams. I like the low scores better. When I make a low pass, then I know I didn't waste time studying too much. Just think about this on your new journey into testing. If you spend too much time studying, it might be B.A. by 19 instead of 18. It's a bit counterintuitive for students to not want to make high scores on tests.
63 CLEP Sociology
75 CLEP U.S. History II
63 CLEP College Algebra
70 CLEP Analyzing and Interpreting Literature
68 DSST Technical Writing
72 CLEP U.S. History I
77 CLEP College Mathematics
470 DSST Statistics
53 CLEP College Composition
73 CLEP Biology
54 CLEP Chemistry
77 CLEP Information Systems and Computer Applications

Interesting thoughts. I definitely want to balance getting decent scores with not wasting time!
