I am so glad to get this test over with because I've been studying on and off for quite some time. I know there are some people on this forum who are currently studying for this same test. I almost felt like a guinea pig on this exam, because there is so little information about it on the forum (since it's a relatively new exam).
To see my review of the exam, go to the Specific Exam Feedback section and click on the thread "Precalculus CLEP."

Great job you must be relieved it over! My daughter is taking it this summer and I was wondering just how much of a bear was it??? She is just finishing calc in high school and she thought she might be able to do this test and then sit in the calc class by spring. She needs it for her major. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Good work! I leave Precalc to the math whizzes of the world. I think College Algebra is going to be my highest math.

Thank you all for the congratulations....I really appreciate your support!
@alleycat: If your daughter just finished taking calculus in high school, then taking the CLEP Precalc exam this summer is extremely doable! I would recommend she get the software called CLEP Professor to sharpen up for the test.
@brothermike: The short answer to your question is that I thought CLEP might be slightly shorter than doing it the ALEKS way - and might be more universally accepted. But, in hindsight, I might've been wrong! I talk more about why I chose CLEP over ALEKS in my post in the Specific Exam Feedback section.
