WOW. . . I am so happy that I came across this thread today, seeing that I am scheduled to take the CLEP Calculus exam in less than 48 hours!! Special thanks to calculess, clepcal and Instantaneous for the detailed descriptions of your experiences. While I have found each individual post to be resourceful, I am not sure I am in the "same boat" as any of you.
In short, I should have graduated from a State University on May 13, 2011 with my B.S. - Construction Mgmt degree (2nd Bachelor's actually, I have a B.B.A. from a different State University in a neighboring state) but unfortunately, my department screwed me (we will not go there now...maybe later) and in order to still get my degree by mail next month, they are "letting" me take the CLEP Calculus exam to receive credit that I lack. And by "lack", I mean lack the 3 hour credit somehow with a grand total of 200+ credit hours under my belt. Whatev.
So, here's the deal>>> I took Calculus this last semester, but ended up dropping right at the very last moment because I thought a petition for another class would work, and I wasn't really "in it to win it", if ya know what I mean? Thus, my knowledge of Calculus is pretty fresh, but my question for all of you is this:
[COLOR="Red"]"HOW SAAVY IN PRE-CAL, ALGEBRA, TRIG, ETC. ARE ALL OF YOU CLEP CALCULUS TESTERS THAT HAVE PASSED WITH A 60?
[/COLOR]
Note: I did not take Calculs in High School & obviously I didn't need Cal for my 1st B.B.A. - Computer Info Systems.
I ask this question because my experience thus far with Calculus has not been the Calculus. My problem is that my algebra is VERY rusty, and my trig is rusty too but not as much as the algebra, functions, etc. I have always been what I would refer to as an "A's & B's Math Student" but algebra isn't like learning to "ride a bike". . .learn it once and you can pick it right back up years later. Well, at least not for me.
I find myself sitting here doing Calculus problems, and constantly wasting time googling or referencing an old book on basic algebra, pre-cal skills, so any advice regarding this particular issue in reference to the actual CLEP exam would be EXTREMELY helpful and much appreciated since I am running out of time.
I am SO sick of fighting this University on transfer credits, Post-Baccalaureate policies/procedures, etc. and I just want to be DONE!! Although I said it before, I will say it again: "Never planning on going back to school after this!!!" B.B.A. Degree + B.S. Degree = LET ME OUT!
