big let down
For weeks I pumped my brain to full capacity for the social sciences and history exam. I arrived today (ready to burst) only to find the server was down. I hung out for an hour, but it became too late to start. Besides, it still wasn't up.
 Well....I am certainly sure that by the time I can get over and take this test (2 weeks from now!!!!!!) that I won't remember a thing. Well, ok, that's exagerating- but really- I was ready TODAY, not in two weeks. So, my dilemma, should I a) Start to study for my next test and then just quick review this one a day or so before the exam? b) Continue to study for this exam- there is more I could work on world history/western civ.

I think if you keep doing a cursory review of the material while studying for something new you will likely retain enough to pass.

I Understand!!!
Hey,
Listen, I can empathize with you. The EXACT same thing happened to me yesterday. I went in to take my Sociology CLEP that was schedueled for 2:00. I didn't get to start my test until 3:45 or so because the server was down. I will admit that my story has a little happier ending and I passed with a 66 but I was oh so very frustrated. I had to drive an hour and a half to get to my testing site so there was no way they were going to get rid of me.

Like CDM said, can you not take it somewhere else or are there no other options?
Otherwise, i would do basic study on it while preparing for the other test, as long as you think you are able to do so. ^^ Good luck!

Thanks everyone.
There is only 1 testing center here. There are only open Tue/Wed nights (I have to test at night) and next Tue/Wed my hubby works late- so it will be the following week.  It will be fine, I'm going to choose option C!
