It's the same deal as you, except in reverse and ethical. I may have only thirteen posts, but I have been here long before you. Your tiresome appeal to authority is misplaced and rejected.
Despite that infomercial garbage you wrote(sketchy part of town, lol), you can find people who had the same obligations you had and more, still did CLEPs and graduated in a fraction of the time. This is also part of my 'deal'- the overwrought, hyperbolic, and frankly shrill warnings away from CLEP that completely misrepresent the process.
I agree, some people are test-phobic. So everyone should be assumed to be exactly that and everything else should be not written about at all. Wouldn't want adults to have all the info to make their own informed choice, like jsd's post above, that championed spoon-feeding.
You're absolutely right about one thing, though. How DARE I suggest that anyone take a foreign Language CLEP! Since you personally have determined that's it's hard, no one should ever be offered it, regardless of that individual's history. Just more nonsense from you. I remember when this board was excited over the NYU language tests; standards have fallen. BTW, since, more people are taking longer to finish(70 credits in a year for someone with a full time job is slow) They could learn the language from zero and still get those nine credits.
