CLEP hard class?

[Cranberrygirl]

Has anyone CLEP tested out of a class they know nothing about? All my regular classes were science classes, but I need to either CLEP Sociology or take it as a regular class within an already full load of nursing classes this semester. Will purchasing the study guides and cramming for 2 weeks be enough to pass? Any advice is appreciated.

Have not used CLEP. Would rather go through an intense 5 to 8 week short term course at a local community college to have the benefit of more than one graded item upon which to earn the grade. Too much for one exam is the way I look at CLEP or DANTES.

OMG! I CLEP'd Sociology abt two weeks ago....IT WAS HORRIBLE:eek:! I was really suprisied at how completely ignorant about society I am:uhoh3:! THANK THE LORD that passing is 50% because I got a 55% ! My advice is to CRAM for 2 weeks and then HURRY and take the test! I studied for it, but was so bored by the information I was unable to retain any of it...well I guess I retained 55%!

Good luck and get that sucker over with!

I was advised to use REA. Did you use that source too?

Just FYI, the number score on a CLEP isn't a percentage -- it's whatever out of a possible total of 80 points. For most of the CLEPs, 80 is the highest you can get.

CLEPS are easy. Take a semester class-you have multiple tests on really intense stuff of every chapter including essays, papers to write and whatnot. CLEP-one test, going on the broad strokes of what the basic knowledge (really counts?) of the class.

I agree, I think clep in worth a try. I just received my REA Biology w/ CD I brought from Amazon and I brought an old edition Biology Text from half.com for a $1.00.

As soon as I get through all the topics listed on the clep website and complete the tests in the REA study guide. I will test.

I did a clep for sociology and English lit and they were both pretty simple. I thought they'd be a lot tougher and studied way more than I needed to. Much better than sitting in a boring class.
