Passed Introductory Business Law CLEP today! - commdiver - 01-18-2012
I meant to take this several months ago, but kept postponing because I never felt ready, so I spent about two weeks really tackling the material. Here is what helped me:
I read chapters 1 through 9, 13 through 16, 18, 19, 22 through 24, and 28 in the Barron's book, followed by all eight chapters in the REA book. I then read that study guide and took two Peterson's test and both REA tests. Out of 100 questions, I only got around 45 correct on the Peterson's test and the first REA test. On the second REA test, I got around 60 correct. The actual test was much easier.
InstantCert does not work for me. I just cannot get myself to work through hundreds of flash cards. I am in the minority, though. If you have never tried InstantCert, at least give it a try. Whatever you do, know contract and tort law. You have to know what happens if X breaches a contract with Y and A, B, and C happened or if X can sue Y because Y rear-ended X and A, B, and C happened. Other than that, most of the test was about knowing the terminology. Assignment, delegation, assault vs. battery, stare decisis, intermediate vs. strict scrutiny, things like that. And be sure to have a look Free CLEP Prep.

Congrats!!
Please tell me you posted this in the Specific Feedback forum. I'm very similar, flash cards are not my first choice, I read and listen to lectures and take my own notes. But I pay for the subscription to get to the SF forum primarily since it is a gold mine.

I find that sometimes if there are too many sets of cards I have the same reaction. Or, if I access the cards too soon in my studies. I do believe the flash cards definitely have their place, sometimes they are better for some subjects than others, but I always make sure I utilize them at least once during my studies. Specific Exam Feedback is invaluable though.
