1st Clep - Information Systems & Computer Applications
This was my first Clep exam. ( I had to take this class to tag a certificate in Project Management in addition to my Bs. in Information Systems).
This exam has some tricky questions - I scored a 71 .... Which to me was a bad score for an experienced IT systems person.  I have 6 more credits before I graduate from UMUC (I need to submit before May 30th 08) ... and I am thinking of taking Criminal Justice and American Government. I will need all the tips and help that I can get on these 2 classes

Alora, 71 is great.
As someone who has over 20 years experience in high tech, I thought my own score was slightly disappointing...but then I shook myself out of it! My personal experience with these exams is that often things come down to how they word the question, and on that exam there were at least two questions where I could argue for two different answers...depending how they meant it. Even if that wasn't true...SEVENTY-ONE IS A GREAT SCORE. No one is going to think you don't know your stuff! Now, American Government...well, I studied more for that than I did for most my exams (except for Anthropology) and partway through the test, I thought, "Oh, no, I'm going to get a 60!" That's because my exam focused was focused mostly on election mechanics, which was only maybe 5% of what I studied...and the test went into that in much more depth. But now I'm thinking, wait, 60 isn't bad in the first place...and it's not like it's my favorite subject. So: know everything about the election process. Oh, and memorize those amendments and landmark Supreme Court cases.
