My CLEP exams progress and experiences

[SteveFoerster]

With CLEP being free through Modern States, I'm not sure why more people aren't taking them. I have taken four CLEPs so far and have not spent a single penny.

Through Modern States, one can take up to five CLEPs for free, right? That's up to a year of credit if one focuses on the ones worth six semester-hours.

Latest update on my CLEP journey:

I just took my 4th CLEP yesterday -- Introduction to Educational Psychology. This time, I decided to stop testing my luck and gave myself a couple more days to study. That allowed me to go through my two sources more thoroughly (IC and Modern States) and it seems like it worked -- I got a 62!

Next up: Analyzing & Interpreting Literature CLEP

Good luck! I believe it's down to three now, but back in the day this one was worth six semester-hours and it was a glorified literacy test. I took it first because people told me that it was a confidence booster, and they were right.
