Anyone use Khan Acadamy? - Teester - 08-06-2012
Would you recommend the Khan Acadamy videos as a good way to help study for a CLEP? I've found them useful so far, but I'm not sure if they are worth it (they are kind of long sometimes). Am I wasting my time, or should I keep going? Thanks for any feedback!

Khan is generally highly regarded...whats not to like it's thorough, understandable, and free. Since it isn't really designed to be clep/dsst specific you will likely benefit from adding info from other sources as well.

What sort of other resources would you suggest? Do you know of any good ones?

For history I like these: Annenberg Learner, Watch History Topics Videos Online - History.com
For science: Periodic Videos, Sixty Symbols, Chem4Kids, Biology4Kids, Physics4Kids

I found access to InstantCert, specifically to the "specific exam feedback" section to be of utmost importance. SEF is the bomb!

I prefer the Annenberg videos because I get bored easily and their liberal arts videos provide great coverage for CLEPs and DSSTs. Khan Academy is great for math, an area which Annenberg is lacking. I know the KA videos are short; but, when you have to watch over 100 of them to get through a subject, it's pretty demotivating. However, this is coming from someone with a short attention span. The Annenberg videos are somewhat entertaining, imo.

I think patrickJMT's videos are a little more problem-oriented. Like, you look up a particular type of problem, and he'll show you how to do it. Khan's more structural, and the order of the videos makes more sense. Also, I think he's a bit more entertaining, a really funny guy. You can also use their website to get the full experience, by doing relevant problems as you learn.
I haven't tried his videos for other subjects, but I gotta say I'm a Khan Academy fanatic. I've watched all the videos for the calculus series, and am mid-way through linear algebra. My textbook is absolute gibberish and he makes sense of it.

I watched the KhanAcademy videos before taking each of my ALEKS classes and passed the initial assessment for each, so for me they were a great time saver.
