If you have the book you can pass these tests with flying colors after having prepared for the clep. Maybe you don't have the book. If that's the case have it overnighted now and you'll see what I'm talking about. Most of the questions can be answered by using the index to find the relevant section in the book and then scanning the text for the answers. You have to be relatively quick but you can do it in time.
I started the test taking process Saturday afternoon had a break for dinner and a buddy stopped by and I resumed with the midterm at around eight o'clock. I then kept on going till two am and now I'm much more ready for the sl acct two since i know howtoplay the game.
I'm not giving up on Accounting at this point, but its a close call. I have the Accounting I book and I should finish up Accounting I today, but with the hour roughly it takes for me to finish a quiz plus the two hours it takes to finish an exam, this class is a time eater and I would have blown through the CLEP much easier if my experience with other CLEP's is any guide. Time is something I don't have a lot of. Plus, my grade is kind of sucky! I'm definitely going the ACE route instead of directly transferring my grade.
