1. Where on earth does someone find HOW to schedule the exams? I'm a 'schedule online' with Prometric or Vue kind of person; so finding sites like collegeboard which say 'Contact the test site' makes me say 'wtf? isn't there any structure!' - So any feedback on how to actually go about scheduling, various links, sites, numbers or other information would be great![/COLOR]
It all depends on the school. Some colleges in my area you have to call, some you can register online. If the site says to contact the school directly, odds are, you'll be registering over the phone. I preferred registering online, too, but the local community college only offered phone-in registration. But as a consolation, the test fee was only $15.00 instead of the $35.00+ many other schools charged.
2. How are the questions laid out and formatted? If I look at the flash cards, it gives me this impression questions may be 'fill in the blank' which I despise for a number of reasons. So any feedback if they're more of the multiple choice, fill in the blank, combination, etc!
In my experience, they are all multiple choice. The layout on Instantcert is to help you study and retain the information. If you go to College Board Tests and The DSST Program, you'll see examples of the question format on the actual test.
3. If I am attending a school which will no longer accept any CLEP credit for me, because I'm "maxed out", can I take the exams in any event, and upon a transfer later (Big 3, EC) have that credit apply there? Advice!
It all depends on the school/program you're interested in. You can shoot the admissions department an e-mail at each college and they can give you a better idea.
