    Congrats, first off!

    In terms of those self doubts at the end, I felt like that a lot too.

    I think it's because so many of the answers are close, and it's hard to tell at times which one is the right one.

    I read somewhere, perhaps on this site, that a person can usually rule out 2 out of the 4, but it's that struggle between the two that are left, that can leave our hearts pounding, as we wait for the score to pop up.

    After awhile, it seems like one gets a sense for the way questions are worded, as well as better at figuring out the best answer overall.

    Anyway, way to go! Another one down.

    Cheers,

    You must have heard a full orchestra with three successfull scores like that!



    Good for you!! Did you take those all at the same time?
    Either way, that is an amazing accomplishment!!

    Cheers

    Haha.. it WAS much like a full orchestra!!

    I took them, plus 1 CLEP within a 3 day period. Not too shabby!

    Default Intro to Sociology

    Another one down, woohoo. Studied the Intro to Sociology questions on IC for less than 1 week and passed with a 66. There were some questions that I had no idea on and some that had answers directly out of the IC flash cards.

    So now that leaves 8 more to go.

    We are all filled with that sense of doubt in that brief moment after hitting the View My Score button until we see our PASSING results a mere second later. It is perhaps one of the longest seconds on Earth!!

    CONGRATS!!

    Thanks everyone for the encouragement. So far this has worked out better than I had hoped. I still have 8 more tests to take, and three classes. Park University will allow a maximum of 30 credit hours by testing so I plan an taking as many as they will allow.

    Johanna,
    21 credits in one sitting is quite impressive. That is one standard that I won't meet. Good job.

    Thanks,

    Doug
