Thank you Mpie18! That was my last CLEP that I needed in order to graduate in May of this year. I CLEPed out of a total of 21 credit hours and was able to graduate in three years instead of the traditional four. I could not have done it without this forum and everyone's feedback on their exams.

Quick feedback on the accounting CLEP: It was the most difficult one I have taken so far. I didn't have any background in accounting. I studied for about four days. One evening I hired a tutor for four hours. I may have studied a total of 10-12 hard core hours. I studied the CLEP study guide (I found it a little harder than the test, but it was very helpful). Not everything that was on the test was on the study guide, and I found time was a big issue for me. I usually finish early, but it was not the case for this one. I used every second up and didn't have time to review. I basically guessed on the last few. I also studied some accounting coach explanations and watched some random youtube videos. I went through a few flash cards on instacert as well.

Here's a list I CLEPed this year: accounting, management, marketing, sociology, business law, and american literature. Good luck everyone!!!! I'm headed off to law school in the fall!
