What degree are you going for? Did you pick a college yet?
P.S. Good for your daughter too, more bright high school kids should take a few credits in high school!!

I am enrolled in Excelsior, going for a Bachelor in General Business.

Yes on the daughter - she started taking concurrent enrollment in her sophmore year and has racked up 24 credits in 2 years plus going to high school. She is surely making me challenge myself to get this degree.

Your testing center may not have stayed open today because as far as they knew, no was coming in today to take a test.

I would hate for you to go through a similar experience again, e.g. driving 45 minutes to take a CLEP exam (without making an appointment to do so), only to arrive and find out the testing center is fully booked for that day or closed like today. Anyway, you might want to call your testing center first thing on Monday morning to make sure that you can take both tests that day.

Good luck and let us know how you do.

I talked to a friend of mine who also was going to take a test yesterday and found out what happened.

Fist of all - the testing center is first come first served - it is at the Community College. They will not make appointments.

As for the closing yesterday - Evidentally their network went down and so they had no access to any of the tests. The people working at the center, put a sign on the door to that affect, but it fell off and I could not see it laying on the floor.

So now I am not so grumpy with them . I am still going to try to take 2 tests Monday, and then College Algebra by Friday (this one is making me nervous).
