calling Homeschool families

[cookderosa]

You don't sound snarky, just that you don't understand what I am doing. My child is LEARNING THE CURRICULUM 1st (my youngest dd who is 13)! Then she is taking 2 weeks to study for the exam that follows the curriculum. Your opinion is fine but I think you just misunderstood my intent and frankly I don't care what your opinion is in this because every kid is different, situation is different and it's hard to make blanket statements based on what you read on a forum.

I just wanted to address the comment because I didn't think it was necessary. I outlined the curriculum we are using, I stated how 'we' plan on studying for the test based on assessments and advise I got from actual people (face to face) who went this direction.

As for my dd who used the cram method, she is 16yrs old and finishing up her AA in BioInformatics at a brick and mortar Community College with a 4.0 average, transferring this fall to her 4 year college of choice (brick and mortar) into their honors college. She only needed 2 of these classes that she CLEPed out of so she wouldn't have to take any courses over the winter in time to graduate. She nailed them by watching the Education-Portal.com videos and doing the flashcards but she is well read and absorbs information quickly.

Now my younger daughter is different. She isn't in college now and doesn't need to quickly gain credit in order to graduate with her AA degree. She will be using the homeschool curriculum I listed earlier, then at the end of learning that specified curriculum she will spend 2 weeks reviewing flashcards, taking sample test, correcting her mistakes, reviewing areas of need then sit for the exam.

Wow, okay. I'm not sure why you're mad. We can start a thread and talk about this, but THIS was the thread's questions: "I need help from my homeschool cohorts. I'm making a list of homeschool curriculum BRANDS that can be used for CLEP/DSST/AP. Here's the thing, I don't want support material, I have zillions (Khan, Purplemath, Learner.org, etc are not what I need). What I want to know is if you've used a specific BRAND of curriculum for a specific exam. For instance, you might say "my son used Alpha Omega Life Pack 1100 Chemistry and then took the Chem CLEP" or such. If you have any specifics PLEASE share!".

You came INTO the thread with the following post "Does anyone find that combining the subject matter for test groupings can get confusing? I just want to make sure as I'm starting the English Grouped Exam prep for my daughter. She's finished all the prep courses for the year and will have about 2 months to just absorb the information so I was thinking of having her just read through the flashcards on Speedyprep and Instantcert for English Lit/American Lit and Humanities since they seem to overlap a bit and cover so much information. Then have her focus on 1 test every 2 weeks. Does that sound realistic? I just don't want to throw it all at her at one time but the information does kind of overlap." which didn't have anything to do with this thread. I answered the question you asked me as a kindness. I now ask that you do the same and post general questions in the general forum. I'm using this information in this thread for research. Thank you.
