Princibles of Management...HELP!

[lilimarie76]

Can anyone help me out on study tips for this exam? I recently took the Humanites clep and failed with a 46 . I was so close but missed it by a few. I have decided to take the Princibles of Management exam because I only need three more elective units left to complete my degree.

If anyone has any additional study materials I would greatley appreciate it. My email is lilimarie76@yahoo.com.

Thanks in advance!!!

cliffnotes has a good resource for P. of Management. then do the peterson exams. Also the REA book could be a good resource. I will say this that this exam isnt that easy. I thought I was going to score alot higher than I did.

Are you an IC member? For this test, IC cards along with the specific forum feedback is really enough to pass. I took it cold, but it was also the very last of a long series of more difficult exams, so it was a review of everything I'd already studied. It's not tough, but I would spend at least a couple of hours a night daily with IC and the forum feedback.

Like the SRT12 said, you may want to checkout cliffs, they are an excellent source, but I also agree that IC is sufficient to pass. You may want to see which one is easiest for you to understand. I also recommend taking a Peterson practice test @ https://www.nelnetsolutions.com/testprep...nsor=12894 or go to Free Practice Clep Tests! - Free-Clep-Prep.com (there's also study guides here).

Principles of Management - CliffsNotes

Here's my recommended process:
1. Take a Peterson's test to see where I'm at cold.
2. Go through the Feedback forum & copy and paste all the recommendations into a Word document (save any posted notes as well).
3. Go through IC (or Cliffs if you prefer and just take notes) cards one set at a time as follows:
*1st pass just read the info
*2nd pass, answer what I remember, anything I don't remember I take notes on my Word document; a lot of the time I take notes on pretty much everything...DEFINATELY take notes on items from the forum.
*3rd pass, optional if I've taken really good notes
4. Look up any feedback items that weren't covered in IC or anything that I didn't understand in IC (use recommended links, notes, from forum or just the internet).
5. Go through Peterson's test (by now I'm starting to understand the ones I got wrong) take notes on topics not covered in IC or thread.
6. Take another Peterson test (Usually the night before or the day of, had a 79 on this one the night before and ended up with a 64 on the acutal test)
7. Print out Notes and review them the day before & the day of the test and in my car for 15-30 min. before I go in the test center.

The key is to focus on the recommandations in the forum and take notes. The notes make a huge difference too because you can review them over and over anywhere. Also, it may help to jot down some notes for reference as soon as you get your scratch paper at the test center.

I really didn't like this exam though, and agree with SRT12, when I took this one there was a lot on the test I had never even seen, but I knew IC and what was in the feedback so I knew enough to pass. Does your school take any DSSTs?

I passed with a 72 with the rea book

I took the Principles of Management CLEP last week and passed. My advice to you, if you haven't already signed up for IC (flashcards), do so. Then run through them as many times as you possibly can. That's the only reason I passed the test. I also just took the Humanities CLEP today and passed. Good luck!!!

Get the REA book. You will not be sorry.
