I stayed up all night last night studying marketing until I felt like I could market anything, lol. I did every flashcard and probably knew 85% of it, easily. I was scheduled for Marketing and Business Law today. I had gotten half through the Business Law flashcards and expect to get more covered in between the 11am and 2pm tests.
Well, after an all-nighter of studying, I conveniently look at my school's CLEP page to see how I am to get the credits transferred, just to find only Marketing and Trig are non-transferable for my school. I've seen the page plenty of times, but I must have decided to do Marketing as my first CLEP since the last time I viewed the page.
Well, I saw that someone on here posted that they took the Analyzing and Interpreting Literature CLEP without studying for it and passed. I had two appointments and decided to give it a shot, this decision made less than an hour before the test. KNOWING that I would pass Marketing AT LEAST in the 60s, I had to retreat to taking something I had no expectations for.
I passed A&I Lit. with a 64. (As confused as I was!) And I passed Business Law with a 54 (I only got through half of the IC flashcards). I was SOOO happy!!! B. Law was suppose to be my risky one because I didn't study extensively (despite being a political science major). And indeed, a 54 is almost a 49, but it's a pass. I'm ecstatic!
I recommend ANYONE with above-average reading skills to take A&I Lit! Take it with little-to-no preparation. If you want to study, study literary terms like allegory, personification, epitaph (i think that was it, something like that), and all the others I learned in 10th grade and forgot. Just don't get bogged down by 17th and 16th century language, find the grand scheme in all of it and don't over-analyze the questions.
Though I got a 54, Business Law wasn't too bad either. I only did 4 out of 8 sections on IC and passed. But I do know that I got about 5 right because of my knowledge of the political science, so do all the sections. 1/3 of the test is PURE contract law! 1/2 of it is common sense, but everyone doesn't have a basis grasp of what the law is. Know when a contract starts, is enforceable, not enforceable, what an assignee is, all that jazz. That is the most information thing on the test. Don't spend your time memorizing all that stuff about antitrust law, just know Sherman, Clayton acts and that antitrust laws are used to promote competition, helping the consumer. Don't spend your time memorizing environmental organizations, just be familiar with them when you see them. Unlike IC, there is no fill-in-the-blank. If you know it when you see it, you are good to go.
If you are just trying to rake up credits (like me) and just need the easiest thing to do, B. Law is an option. Marketing is too, but I haven't taken the test. The IC cards are very easy to grasp though. A&I Lit is great for anyone not English-ly challenged (lol).
Good luck friends!
