Did you graduate with Bachelors that only cost you $7500 in total? Which year did you grad?
Yep, that's me. How'd you find me?

I remember when I took my first CLEP Test - it was mid-January after Christmas Break. I took the Biology test and scored in the 60s with minimal studying! The feeling that I had was intense - I kept thinking "holy crap, did I really just receive 6 credit hours for free just like that?!" After that test, I developed an addiction to testing out of classes; I took the American Government, Analyzing Literature, and Technical Writing DSST test all within in a span of about three weeks.
It was insane to me that my friends were taking, for example, a literature class with 3 hours of lectures every week for a semester on top of a bunch of assignments just to receive the same credit that I did with 15 minutes of studying before walking into the test room. I feel that me finding out about the CLEP Test has really changed my destiny!
That's awesome!
I got a story. I made a plan one summer to graduate with my associates while in high school. I plan on taking a clep on month. I was killing it. To get my associates I had to pass like 12 cleps. I pass each one by the skin of my teeth. Except one....Spanish I score a 49 the first time(was really sick and didn't study) i and ti wait three months. Time was ticking as graudtion deadlines was a week after the day i could retest. I also didn't study during the 3 months in between because I was working overtime while going to high school and my cc. My plan on graduation was coming to a screeching halt. I already told everyone I was going ti graduate. Time flew by and I had to test, I was nervous. My headphones didn't work right nad I wasn't feeling good. I was guessing on half the questions. Time was running out. Than BAM all of sudden my worries were gone. My knowledge of high school Spanish kick in and I was feeling great about the second half. The clock winding down. I didnt have time to back track weong questions. Crap. I kept going praying answering and sweating all at once. I answer the last question right when I run out of time. This is it I thought cant get any worse...I click report scores and I SCORE A 50!!!!!!! I jump up and yell pumping my arms with glee. I didnt get graudation due to covid but man I didnt care all i did was feel good man.
