54 Credits in 28 Days

[kdgarlock]

Hello, testing friends! I just wanted to take the time to say thank you to the people that created this site, and to give some words of encouragement to everyone out there looking to further their education.

In the past month, even with working a full-time job and maintaining a social life past standing in line at the local Subway, I have managed to successfully test out of 54 Credits worth of DSST evaluations. Everything from Statistics to Ecology, from World Religion to English Composition. My ONLY aid in all my studies was this website. I had little to no prior knowledge in any of the courses, and yet my pass rate is currently 17/17.

This site made that possible! My advice to all the would-be go-getters out there is to NOT stress over memorizing 100% of the material. The practice tests you run through on this website sometimes make you go "Wtf. How would I possibly fill in THAT blank", but the point isn't to be able to fill in the blank. Read every question, and read every answer completely, and you will gain a broad general understanding of the subject matter. From there, you can reason out 75% of the test questions from common sense and general understanding alone! (provided they aren't name or title based, such as Humanities)

I wish you all the best! I'll continue to take 1-2 tests a week until I am completely out of tests to take. Farewell!

Am I insane? I can only take the test(s) on a Saturday and I am tempted to take CLEP Humanities and Analyzing Lit. on the same day in early December. With no prep at all I got 90 out of 140 on the Princeton practice test in Humanities. I plan to go over the answer key well to tighten things up. I have always been strong in poetry, editing, reading comprehension and the like so i think I can wing the Analyzing Lit exam and do allright (I'll take a practice exam at least).

I guess I'm trying to convince myself that I can do it and it's not overwhelming. Any feedback is appreciated. This site is fantastic. I wish I'd found it sooner.

Best to all.

You can definitely do it.
