This is too funny! I know when I went for my last exam, I was almost tearful. I'm thinking about taking more just for the knowledge base...and fun! Ok, maybe it is the high and the fun! I truly enjoyed the DSST exams, CLEP's not so much. I would like to take more just to get them on my transcript, but with 2 bachelor's done and a master's in progress I'm not sure I would benefit in any way except knowledge and knowing I did it. I wonder if anyone here has taken every one of the CLEP and DSST exams? I know some would duplicate credit, but it would interesting to know if anyone has. Great post, but I wonder how you would have been scored if you used it for your English Comp essay? Quite funny I would think! Thanks again for letting us laugh at our addition!

Ditto! I started testing with English Comp w/ Essay and A&I Lit in January, and haven't stopped! I'm driving my family crazy; they made me promise not to take any study materials when we went on a 3-week vacation this summer, and I had to take 2 months off recently when we moved! Now I just sit back, thinking about my next test and wondering how much farther I'd be if I hadn't taken those months off. :p
