Hello,
This is my first post on this forum! My son is going to start taking CLEPs, etc. soon. He is 17 and has been homeschooled since K/1st grade. He has taken the ACT recently and did well (score of 29) so I think he will do okay with a testing format.
He has one more year of high school to go so I want this coming year to be the trial of 'will it work or not?'. That way, he can go to a b&m college if necessary. He's pretty pumped about this though, dreaming of all the money and time saved. Eventually, he is planning on a master's degree.
He is especially interested in english (loves to edit friend's essays...go figure) and history, but does well with math and science too. There are about 4 days of testing available close by us before the summer. As he wants to get started with an easy test, he is considering the Analyzing Lit CLEP. The other option would be American History II (he is finishing up a study of the 20th century and last year we did American History II). I thought though that Amer. Hist. I and II would be good to do together on one day, a bit down the road. Any thoughts on this? Does it matter?
I will probably have more questions so you'll be hearing from me again!
Thanks in advance,
Margo
