A total newb's experience with CLEP/DSST

I will agree with part of what you are saying...you do need to respect every test...however, you are scoring in the mid to high 70's on your tests. While this is admirable, it is not totally neccesary. I have used pretty much only IC and practice exams for 13 exams and I have yet to fail one and I really have not come all that close to failing one. It depends on how in depth you want to go. If you just want to get it over with and not kill yourself finding a bunch of different resources, then IC is the way to go...

I just don't want anyone to think that IC alone can not get you through most exams, because it can and it does...good luck on future exams...

Scores in the 70s kick butt!!
Did he over study? Not in three days! I wouldn't call that over investing by a long shot. (3 months....yeah too much) You have to remember, an introductory supervision class ISN'T new material for everyone. Many of us here are adults with 10, 20, 30, or more years DOING it. It shouldn't surprise anyone that an adult can pass a 100 level intro class with flying colors. Any woman here with children has LIVED the human growth and development material. I could give many examples. Information isn't owned by the credit-bearing classroom.

At the end of the day- the goal is the same...WHATEVER WORKS! IC works, but so do other resources. I would hate to see this board send out an "IC way or the highway" type of message, because I personally think this board is the single best resource on the internet for CLEP/DSST takers. Yes, they sell a product, but the message board is free, and I think people should feel safe to freely express their successes earned through all methods.

(sorry, I'm feeling wordy)
I don't know about Bushrunner, but I never have figured out how to study for a "C"
