Then I did the CLEP practice test and scored a 72%. I think it is pretty cool that I got virtually the same score for the flashcards, the practice CLEP, and the real CLEP...just goes to show you that Instantcert is right on target with this one!

    Oh yeah, when the proctor saw my score she said WOW and then told me they rarely see scores above a 50 there. I told her she'll be seeing a lot more decent scores out of me in the future...

    OUTSTANDING - 70!!!

    Way To Go SirJake - 54 = PASS and another Three BIG Credits!!

    Well, the elusive score report has finally arrived. Score: 57. I was shocked. I though surely, I eeked out a 46, just enough to pass.

    I'm sooooooo glad I'm done taking DSST's. Just have to wait on 2 more score reports from them, although I'm not sweating them as much. (of course, that means I just jinxed myself! lol!)

    Thanks Brian, appreciate the feedback! This one was big for me, it netted me my arts and sciences depth, finally. Money and Banking was supposed to do it and, well, I failed that one, it was a big let down. So this one was almost like tempting karma. Thankfully, I let enough people in traffic or something, because it came back to me

    You'll do great! You've still got a whole week to study. And just keep in mind that although this one's an easy one to stress about, everyone's that has posted results so far has done really well and we all used IC. You can do it!!!

    libartsmgr,

    That's comforting to me right now. I am slowly going through Insantcert, and cross-referencing the info with infoplease.com and wikipedia.com...

    ..It's a LOT of information! Holy Crap!

    It's hard to narrow my study notes down to key terms, events, names, and places because there are just SO many to choose from.

    I haven't created study notes this exhaustive since I prepared for the CLEP Humanities exam!

    CLEP College Algebra is looking sexier by the minute. LOL

    I'm not REALLY too worried about this exam though. I will do the best I can, and hopefully I will do fine. But geez! Lots of information to cover.

    Can someone please jot down a complete list of the exact questions that will appear on the exam, along with all the correct answers? If you could get that done for me today...that would be greeeeeat. Thanks in advance!

    Ha ha!

    Yes, IC is the key. I used books, research materials, and videos......BUT it was IC that put it all together and I was able to land an "A" (59) from Excelsior. You will do well!!!

    Talking I am impressed

    Hi,

    Found this site after spending waaay too much money on books. Took Principles of Statistics as my first Dantes. Because of some stuff going on, ended up cramming at the last minute with InstantCert.

    The Statistics test is aweful. I left pretty sure I didn't pass. But I got my results and it is all good with a 54! I would recommend extra study material with the stats test.

    Took Principles of Supervision next, still waiting results. I had more time to study, and I had the books. There was not much in the books, however, that was covered faster in InstantCert. I breezed through the test, and I am not worried.

    Working on Fund. of Counseling
