Need Help Staying Motivated
#1
Hi everyone,
I'm brand new to this. Just signed up today. I decided to study for one of my last four courses that I need to finally complete my BS in Business. It's been a very long road for me (8 years). I decided to either CLEP or DSST by taking:
Here's to your health (need a Natural Science)
Western Civ I or II (not sure which one is easier)
Humanities (will cover two courses that I need, but afraid this is hard)

Any tips would help on how to stay motivated and how to remember everything for these types of tests that I've never taken one before.
Thanks,
boston

IC is very helpful for the memory part of it...I do the flashcards over and over until I can get most of them right. Then I take the Peterson Exams and go over any missed questions. After that I take the College Board prep test for the subject. I shoot for about 80 percent of the questions right before I sit the test.

As for the motivation part, that comes right after your first CLEP when it pops your passing score up on the screen! You will feel so great about your accomplishment that you will want to take another, and another and.....! Wink

For specifics on each test I would recommend you go to the Specific Feedback category. There you will find info on each test from those who have taken it, their study tips and other places you can find study helps.

I hope this helps! Happy CLEPing

How about Analyzing and Interpreting Literature instead of Humanities. Most people don't study and its pretty easy. Either you know it or you don't. Good Luck!!
