Marketing Clep
I'm taking this tomorrow and was wondering if anyone had any last minute tips or advice, I checked the specifc exam feedback which was great. Right now I am having a problem reading IC because the material is just so dry and un interesting, this is the first time I have ran into this problem.
Now I am kind of nervous about taking the test.

countdown...
At this point the best thing you can do is relax, sleep and let your brain encode and process the info. I read a ton of stuff on how sleep helps memory. If anything it would be better to get a quick review in tomorrow/ (today.)
Good luck budy!!!

Hi Shadowless! I agree with Runner4064. You've probably seen the most recent thread on this exam (See below-in case you haven't). It is an average exam in terms of difficulty - and for some it was quite easy. I took this early evening when I was already quite tired, but found it to be quite straightforward and a lot of common sense - but I was careful not to dawdle and then finished w/20 mins to spare.
The advice on the Exam specific thread is right on. So don't worry! http://www.instantcertonline.com/for...ice-tests.html Good luck!

Yeah, I'd say best is to try to relax as well. With some subjects, you'd just have to persevere, no matter how boring it is.
I had your same problem with Marketing, too dry and filled with jargon for a subject that's supposed to be very interesting. It does get a lot easier towards the end of the learning curve and remember, this is one of the easier exams (assuming you get past the material). Good luck!

To those interested, I failed by a single point. DOUH!!!! Oh well, I will live, I am at the point where I think I should finally enrol in one of the big three with all my credits. I already have +60 from milary and around 72 from cleps plus traditional level 1 and 2 courses that translate to about 25 credits. So I don't really know what good taking more cleps will be in the long run.

Sounds like a plan re time to enroll. I am sorry you missed principles of marketing by one point - that really sucks!
