Great to see other homeschoolers on this site!
Brad Voeller's book is a very good resource; he discusses the value of speed reading and mega memory concepts which I haven't seen mentioned on this forum, yet.
I learned about CLEP through Oak Brook College of Law Oak Brook College of Law and Government Policy
InstantCert is a God-send! I have used InstantCert for English Comp (without essay) and the general Humanities exam (64) after 1 1/2 weeks of study (we had a sick pony and he took alot of time). Wikipedia is a great resource for this exam, plus familiarize yourself with paintings and the various styles of different artists. This can be done in an Encyclopedia (Ours is a 1979 World Book--nothing too fancy. I had a female family member clothe many a painting and sculpture with a black sharpie marker--not a bad idea). Plus, review photos of different styles of architecture (Gothic, Greek, etc) and main players in history and their works (Frank Lloyd Wright and Falling Water, etc.). My community college awards 9 credits for Humanities--3 over the ACE recommendation.
Scheduled to take the Introductory Sociology CLEP on Friday. I took the Peterson's test tonight after work (scored 70), but still feel unprepared. I am encouraged, however, after combing this site for information, though!
