Hooray, I Clepped Sociology Yesterday!

That is the GREATEST thing, to clep classes. So far I've done Human Growth and Dev, and Sociology in the past six weeks. It saved me several hundred dollars and a LOT of time sitting in class and driving back and forth. I picked up 6 credits so easily.

If you have prereq's like these to complete, and you do well learning on your own with study materials, you should check into whether your program allows clep exams, and where you can take them. The best part for me, is this Sociology class is worth an extra point on my nursing application, which is due now. I feel pretty comfortable I'll make it into the January cut with just that one extra point I didn't expect to have it just two weeks ago. VERY, very excited!

Has anyone ever taken a literature CLEP?

I dropped my Lit class this semester - just overestimated myself as usual. :(

I clepped interepreting Lit......AWFUL, but I passed....such boring, Old English material.

I highly suggest it! If I had to sit in a class and hear about this crap for 6 months I would have killed myself.

Clepping sociology now. How long did it take for you to study?, and what did you use.

My last exam. YAYYY

Awesome, that sounds really cool! Consider yourself lucky, and apparently pretty intelligent, our school doesn't let you do anything like that. If it's a prerequisite on the list for the nursing program, you HAVE to take the course, no two ways about it. Luckily for me, I start nursing school in August and I finished all my prerequisites last semester. I am spending the summer taking some extra material just for fun to stimulate my brain. In our program if you don't complete every prerequisite course, and all the nursing classes with a C or higher, you don't graduate from the program. It's pretty rigorous. But congratulations, that's one more class out of the way!

I asked about this at my school a while back and was told that it would save me time but not money because we would still have to pay for the course.
