Woot woot! I just took my first CLEP, today. I passed. Whoever writes the questions- grammar is not their strong suit. It causes confusion about what the question is asking. But I passed is what is important. Gonna try to squeeze about 2 or 3 more CLEP before the year is out.
Girl we studied all our life Spanish 🤣 I was born in Mexico and raised there until I was 16 my Spanish is better than my English I will not take the English class without studying and practicing lol
Have you looked at Modernstates.org ? It's a free website for Clep prep and they have a reimbursement program to pay you back the cost of your exam after you pass a test. I'm not 100% sure how they get the funding but it sounds great. I'm thinking about studying for wgu and I want to clep all of my generals. I graduated high school in 2005, so I may be very rusty on all topics. I'm working on calculus right now. It's the hardest of the courses I want to pass so I'm aiming for it first. Also Saylor.org can give you free credits with it's proctored $25 exam, but you would want to look and see what your school of choice might accept from them.
Yes, I strongly recommend them. If you would like guidance, I offer coaching. You can sign up for a slot on my website.

Hello I’m a 52 year old woman that really wants to get a bachelors degree, I was raising a family and working hard to pay for my kids education. I got excited when I came across your video. Is getting a bachelors possible in one year? Did you have credits before you started cleping? Any information would so be appreciated. Thank you, Linda
linda rivera thank you very much!:) I know it’s really rough at the moment with tuition being as overpriced as it is! 😬 anyway no I didn’t have any credits before I started cleping and yes it is possible to do so in a year (1 year 5 months, for me) I would even say that with better planning you could actually test out of college while you’re in high school, graduate high school and send all of your CLEPs to the best college; and graduate within a couple weeks of graduating high school. But in your position absolutely a year is completely possible to do!:)
Last May, I got my son started doing CLEPs. He uses his one hour study hall and other free time at school to work on the plan I laid out for him. He's passed 14 CLEPs so far for 48 credit hours. He'll probably take two more CLEPs next weekend. Combined with an AP test in May and hopefully one more CLEP by the end of the school year and he'll basically be a junior in college sitting with 60 credit hours. He's done all of this in less than one year. He'd probably tell you that he didn't work as fast as he possibly could although he has taken two CLEPs in a day before. We are almost done with the CLEPs and about to move on to the DSSTs portion of the plan. I also still need to iron out some of the upper level part and then hope the degree map I made agrees with what the school requires when we work with them. The grand plan is to graduate from high school and then a month or so later go through commencement ceremonies in college. Right now my son is a only a sophomore in high school so we are on schedule right now. Keep up the good work here! Love seeing it.
@GLG America That’s extremely impressive🤯 Do you mind sharing your formula 😬 My brother is in high school now He’s a straight A student but is stressing about college (cost, pressure, etc...)

So you did history, math, foreign languages, marketing - what did you major in? Can I just do CLEPS I like and build myself a Frankensrein Bachelor's degree?
I majored in European History and politics. I did other ones as well. But mainly the history ones and German were the big ones. So if you want to build yourself a frankenstein degree you will need to do DSST (Dantes) tests as well. For higher level courses. Also if you can use Straighterline courses and if you want to call a local high schoola nd ask if you can take certain AP classes in May that could work too! :)
I have to take and pass the English comp with the essay but I didn’t really do good in English and I’ve never written an essay I don’t even know how to begin to do it .
I skipped a year and a quarter of community college by taking CLEP and DSST tests. I didn't study for anything, majored in general studies to make use of the credit, and saved a ton of money. I posted a video on the easiest tests I took.

Hey, I am having a hard time passing the Humanities test. I would love it if you can give me some studying tops, or advice. Thanks! :) It seems really gard b/c their soo precise on the various architects, composers, musicians, artists, poets of the different eras all over the world...
So for this exam I get an app, I forget the exact name, but if you just look on the apple store for CLEP humanities, it should be the only free one. Also if you use study.com they'll have a whole course on the subject! :)
Thank you! :) Yes, I typically scored in the middle to upper 50s... Yes absolutely, the testing itself is more important to know then the material. Because you can narrow answers down the best way you need to!
Would you be able to help me create a roadmap of what i need to complete my bachelors, i already have 84 credits and im going through excelsior for my degree
No rule that I am aware of, she should go for it. Fair warning though even if her German is better than her English, the questions are geared towards college aged kids. So she might have a hard time with the material, definitely have her take the practice test first.
Your dog is so cute in the video. In your opinion what’s easier college math or algebra? How do you study for something like that? What book do you recommend? Thanks so much :)
Thank you! :) They are the exact same test. So if you can use both as credits, and you feel confident about passing I would take both on the same day. Additionally, math is unique because there are so many youtubers that you can use to study. if you go to my playlist section, I have a play list with video material that you can use to study. And that should be good enough! :)

I just started going to school this summer, and I’ve passed my first two classes, I will begin to Clep as soon as your book and study guide arrive, I’m thinking of making videos to document my experience, if I pull this off it will be the most awesome thing ever. Thanks for the videos and tips
It’s funny man just got your book and my study guides I’ve set myself a goal of clapping 10 classes before Christmas. I had signed up for a CSP Computer skills placement Class and a test exist for that to , but I’m having a hard time finding materia any suggestion
So idk about the GED test exactly because I never dealt with that. However, You can take as many of these as you want and use them towards any college... I would recommend looking at the colleges you specifically want to attend and their CLEP acceptance first, however if you go to a school like SNHU, or one of the big 3 you should have a breezy time doing these!
Hi. Thank you for making these videos ! I have a question. I have no idea what these exams are . Who can take them? Highschool kids or college students ? I am about to enter my freshman year at a United States University and I am from America. Are they like ap tests ??
They are AP tests, but anyone can take them and you can take them at anytime of the year (not just in may)... They are much easier than AP tests because they are all multiple choice!
Hey Mason, I just took a CLEP exam for Western Civilization II and I got 48 so if I retake the exam would it be the same questions (after 3 months waiting period) or different?

Did you take pre-calculus clep? How can you possibly answer all of the questions in 90 minutes. Tasks are easy, it’s just a lot of them for this time line
Just saw your video, I'm retaking the clep social science and history test for the second time. Last year I took it and got a 49.Last year, I took it just by using Accepted, Clep social science and history review book. I was wondering if you have any advice, I didn't take any for the other clep exams that you mentioned. I'm retaking it in 2 weeks and mostly using quizlet and speedyprep to study. They have changed the test to u.s. history, western civilization, world history, economics, government/political science and geography. I was wondering if you have any extra tips. I'm taking the test on June 16.
Biggest recommendation is to practice test takign strategies, as much as the material... in other words, multiple choice strategies. and make sure you really know them. Also enjoy the process and don't stress, the more you try to enjoy it the easier the test will be to you! :)
Hey bro, at 45 years old I'm finally going to college. (Community college) But to be frank I feel like I'm fighting time that I didn't capitalize on 20 years ago. I'm really strong in subjects like government, sociology, english and history. But likely would get my ass handed to me with math. I haven't started any classes yet until Aug 24th. Any suggestions?
Rabbit Skipper yeah! So with knowledge in general it never leaves your brain entirely you just need to refresh it. So if you feel nervous, study for and take an easy math clep test and get credit or just prep yourself by doing some RUclips exercises beforehand
@@MasonAksamit Thank you for your response brother. Do you suggest that I speak with or pre-warn the school's academic advisor, or just say the hell with it and do it?

(THIS IS NOT RIGTH AWAY IM THINKING AHEAD BEFORE I TAKE CLEP) I'm just wondering after doing the CLEP tests and getting all your credits can you transfer your college credit to any college besides the 2,900 college they offer? like Lehman college or NYFA(New York Film Academy) or music production. Because they are college level test and every collage has college level classes? and when I try to see if they take CLEP CREDITS its as if they don't allow it. PLEASE HELP ME I want to go to college and get out like you under a year.
It depends on what kind of degree you want. CLEPs aren't going to be good at NYFA because film is hands on and there's no point of testing out of something that's hands on like that.

I studied principles of Management for a whole week and failed by one point! (49). I literally wanted to cry, I was so sure I had passed while I was taking it 😔 I hate college board’s 3 month re take policy! It should 30 days, not 90 😕

So I am taking the Spanish 1 & 2 clep exam in 4-5 days and I just want to know if you have any tips for me as I can speak and listen really well as I am a native speaker but have problems with reading and grammar and I heard you have only 12 seconds to answer a question. Any tips?
12 seconds to answer a question? I believe that is only for the first listening portion of the test, that you have that. When I took the German test the grammar portion, has basically really difficult reading passages, but all of the complicated parts you can get from context. My biggest tip, is just don't stress; go in confident that you'll pass. and then pass.
If you know business, take it. If not, don't. I am looking for testimonials from people who used CLEPs to test out of college. Could you email me, I'll send you a list of questions to answer? masonaksamit@yahoo.com
If you go on the clep website, you should be able to get them from the CLEP book, when you schedule your tests. I found it difficult but I hate economics haha
Do I need to be enrolled in a college in order to take the clep and dsst would that be easier? And if so how would that work out would they allow me to just take clep exams and not there classes very confused about this or would I go apply to the school once I have all of the clep and dsst ect done with and ready for my degree? I’m trying to get my bachelors within a year if possible
You can do either or. Just look into the colleges CLEP and DSST requirements before enrolling. Certain colleges accept more at a lower scores: SNHU, TESU, Charter Oaks, and Excelsior. I am looking for testimonials from people who used CLEPs/DSSTs to test out of college. Could you email me? I'll send you a list of questions to answer. masonaksamit@yahoo.com oneyeardiploma.com
First you need to find a school that accepts a good amount of transfer credit, i would recommend the big 3 and SNHU. And then start working on exams that will transfer into a marketing degree via the school you choose.
can you talk about what CLEP you need for getting which final degree, because if I take all CLEP that does not make me qualified for one degree. I think you need to be more strategic on what exam you take to get the final degree. right?
It ultimately depends on what program you're in and what school you're attending. In most American colleges you study General education for 2 years, and 1-2 semesters of elective credits, and you just need to fill those 75-90 credits. So taking as many easy CLEPs and DSSTs as possible helps speed up the process. I am looking for testimonials from people who used CLEPs/DSSTs to test out of college. Could you email me?

I completed the Sociology CLEP course on Study.com. I then took the practice test in the Official CLEP Study Guide and I got 70% correct. I know that's a good score and I should be ready enough to take the exam, but I want to score a bit higher. I *really* don't want to take this course again in college. So, do you know of any ways that I can get my score up? I completed all of the quizzes on Study.com. Is there anything else I should do to boost my score?
SO the best way i can suggest is review the questions you got wrong by rematching those videos. And try taking the practice test again. That should work
I think the biggest key to any of it is to relax, and try to enjoy the process more if you can. Typically the issue I see a lot of people have is that they have the mindset that the test (or anything) is extremely difficult and therefore when they study it it'll become more difficult. Because your mind typically creates the challenge more so than the test actually does. Especially if you have a few months I would recommend trying to make smaller goals for yourself within the study process. So, for example, if you are struggling with certain types of math problems like quadratic equations and graphing inequalities. Focus on one at a time, instead of both, really concentrate on quadratic equations first, and do so many problems that you feel like it won't be difficult any more. Than move onto the next one. It works for two different reasons, #1: despite what people say it as actually scientifically impossible to multitask fully because your brain has to change focus in between tasks. So when you focus on one at a time, it becomes a lot more sensical, and you learn it quicker. #2: It gives you a small sense of pride when you accomplish things (no matter what it is) so if you work at the smaller senses of pride, i.e. I can do this type of problem now. You'll have a much stronger motivation to continue on. Sorry for the really long answer, But I'd love to help in anyway... feel free to email me (attached to the home page of my channel), and we can set up a tutoring session if you are feeling nervous at all! :) Otherwise I hoped I answered your question well! :)

Havent finished watching the video. Why did you take so many? Just to make these videos, which I truly appreciate. I thought that you get only some accepted at most universities. Is there a trick to get more accepted? Also, can you clep 2 yrs of college or just one?
Sariah Piedrasanta no I did it cuz I got my bachelors in a year without student loan debt owed (I paid well under $17,000). Certain universities accept anywhere from 90-120 transfer credit hours. So you just need to research which college to attend
@@MasonAksamit reallyyyyy that is awesome! Congrats, my twins are going to be seniors next year and since they didn't have much to do during the shutdown, I got them CLEP books. I know you can transfer the courses, but again I thought most colleges only accept a few. Do you have a video where you explain your journey? I need to finish my degree too lol

I believe so... All forms of military are DANTES funded (which means you can do it for free) I don't know all of the details off hand, but here is the link from their website about the military benefits. I hope this Helps! :) clep.collegeboard.org/earn-college-credit/military-benefits
Yes. The Community College of the Air Force accepts both CLEPS and DSST (DANTES). Pretty much all Base Education Centers have exam rooms where you can take either CLEPS or DANTES.
I never took that exam so I wouldn't be able to help, but I would recommend something a bit easier, because that is considered one of the hardest exams.
Emeka Omenye Why don't you try something like English Composition? I heard this one is really easy. I heard "If you speak English, I recommend you don't even study and just take it."

Girl we studied all our life Spanish 🤣 I was born in Mexico and raised there until I was 16 my Spanish is better than my English I will not take the English class without studying and practicing lol
I took 400 NCLEX questions and passed with a 75 (passing 100 with a 50 is sufficient) without ever opening a book.

Was it timed?
Just passed sociology with 64. I would say sociology is just memorizing names and definitions. No subjectivity involved.
Couldn't agree with you more! :)
good to know..that is my next class
Alex Bruce I’m trying to take it. What did you use as study guides?
What did u use to study for sociology...and can u send me some examples of the types of things on it
I know this is old but thanks for this. Tryna pass some CLEP exams during this whole rona thing. Stay safe
Thanks for making these videos! I just completed my associate's degree and I was practically paid to do it!

Wow! You found an unique niche and have mastered it. Much respect to you, my question is how were the literature exams. How did you do on them?

What do you need specifically? I would recommend my book if it is a lot, because I do not really do CLEP exams anymore.
Use modern states to study! Side note
You make such great videos, thank you! What were your scores on the tests? Do you think that people get better scores after taking their first CLEP?
Thank you! :) Yes, I typically scored in the middle to upper 50s... Yes absolutely, the testing itself is more important to know then the material. Because you can narrow answers down the best way you need to!
Would you be able to help me create a roadmap of what i need to complete my bachelors, i already have 84 credits and im going through excelsior for my degree
Sure thing man! If you want to, email me... and we can talk more details! :)
What age could you take a clap test ? My girl speaks perfect German and would like to take it. She just turned 10. Thank you
No rule that I am aware of, she should go for it. Fair warning though even if her German is better than her English, the questions are geared towards college aged kids. So she might have a hard time with the material, definitely have her take the practice test first.
Your dog is so cute in the video. In your opinion what’s easier college math or algebra? How do you study for something like that? What book do you recommend? Thanks so much :)
Thank you! :) They are the exact same test. So if you can use both as credits, and you feel confident about passing I would take both on the same day.
Additionally, math is unique because there are so many youtubers that you can use to study. if you go to my playlist section, I have a play list with video material that you can use to study. And that should be good enough! :)
Thank you for the video! I just passed Government with a 74😁
What did you do to prepare for this ?
@@boogiboi2076 Kahn Academy is a great resource. I also used the 2016 AP Government Clep book published by McGraw Hill.

how long does it take to learn what you need in order to pass the chemistry clep?
different for every person. Honestly, just study unitl you pass the practice exam. Shouldn't ever take more than 3 weeks
I just started going to school this summer, and I’ve passed my first two classes, I will begin to Clep as soon as your book and study guide arrive, I’m thinking of making videos to document my experience, if I pull this off it will be the most awesome thing ever. Thanks for the videos and tips
You'll pull it off man! Don't leave any room for doubt!!
It’s funny man just got your book and my study guides I’ve set myself a goal of clapping 10 classes before Christmas. I had signed up for a CSP Computer skills placement Class and a test exist for that to , but I’m having a hard time finding materia any suggestion
Anything I recommend in my book is what I'd recommend. Study.com, youtube videos on specific topics, or library documentaries are big ones
The CLEP School thank you!! Just passed Spanish with a 68 and passed my CSP EXAM !!
I’m trying to take all my GED and continue my education can I take as many of these possible ? How can I use this to my advantage?
So idk about the GED test exactly because I never dealt with that. However, You can take as many of these as you want and use them towards any college... I would recommend looking at the colleges you specifically want to attend and their CLEP acceptance first, however if you go to a school like SNHU, or one of the big 3 you should have a breezy time doing these!
The CLEP School I appreciate your response man .
Once u finished that u can take clep depends on a college University that they accepted or not
Trying to obtain an assoicate's dergee in Criminal justice. Bmcc allows 30 CLEP credits. Could I transfer those credits to the assoicate's dergee?
What part of Colorado are you in
2:30 bro you literally exposed your address be careful look at the top left corner lol
Lucky I haven't lived there in 4 years, thanks though!
Hi. Thank you for making these videos ! I have a question. I have no idea what these exams are . Who can take them? Highschool kids or college students ? I am about to enter my freshman year at a United States University and I am from America. Are they like ap tests ??
They are AP tests, but anyone can take them and you can take them at anytime of the year (not just in may)... They are much easier than AP tests because they are all multiple choice!
How does the gpa get factored in? Is passing with a 50 clep exam a 2.0gpa? Regardless, this is very good info.
No, Clep does not effect your GPA at all. Your GPA is solely based off of your grades in the classes you take
This was great man!!
how many times can I take the clepsydras exam? is there a specific period of time in between?
if you fail you must wait three months to take the exam again. Otherwise you can take them back to back no limit
If you have no prior college experience can you take the test to get credits? And also for pre req classes?
Mimi Cos yes, no experience is needed. Go get it!
Hey Mason, I just took a CLEP exam for Western Civilization II and I got 48 so if I retake the exam would it be the same questions (after 3 months waiting period) or different?

College Composition Modular is easier for sure. I am looking for testimonials from people who used CLEPs to test out of college. Could you email me for a list of questions to answer? masonaksamit@yahoo.com
Did you take pre-calculus clep?
How can you possibly answer all of the questions in 90 minutes. Tasks are easy, it’s just a lot of them for this time line
I did. The key is to move quickly, don't get bogged down on questions you aren't 100% on, mark it and come back to it if you have time.
How come the website doesn't have any of the foreign languages such as Spanish on it? Are foreign languages not allowed anymore for CLEP?
It does still, but it's world languages here is a link: clep.collegeboard.org/world-languages
Just saw your video, I'm retaking the clep social science and history test for the second time. Last year I took it and got a 49.Last year, I took it just by using Accepted, Clep social science and history review book. I was wondering if you have any advice, I didn't take any for the other clep exams that you mentioned. I'm retaking it in 2 weeks and mostly using quizlet and speedyprep to study. They have changed the test to u.s. history, western civilization, world history, economics, government/political science and geography. I was wondering if you have any extra tips. I'm taking the test on June 16.
Biggest recommendation is to practice test takign strategies, as much as the material... in other words, multiple choice strategies. and make sure you really know them. Also enjoy the process and don't stress, the more you try to enjoy it the easier the test will be to you! :)
Hey bro, at 45 years old I'm finally going to college. (Community college) But to be frank I feel like I'm fighting time that I didn't capitalize on 20 years ago. I'm really strong in subjects like government, sociology, english and history. But likely would get my ass handed to me with math. I haven't started any classes yet until Aug 24th. Any suggestions?
Rabbit Skipper yeah! So with knowledge in general it never leaves your brain entirely you just need to refresh it. So if you feel nervous, study for and take an easy math clep test and get credit or just prep yourself by doing some RUclips exercises beforehand
@@MasonAksamit Thank you for your response brother. Do you suggest that I speak with or pre-warn the school's academic advisor, or just say the hell with it and do it?
Rabbit Skipper I would talk to the advisor, mike was actually pretty helpful in the long run. Just don’t let anyone dissuade you from doing them.
Hi there, could you do a deck for ASBS for Thomas Edison U. Thank you very much in advance.

Do clep credits transfer? Do I only get to take the clep test my college provides?
sweet heart yes they do transfer, no only the ones that your college accepts!
(THIS IS NOT RIGTH AWAY IM THINKING AHEAD BEFORE I TAKE CLEP)
I'm just wondering after doing the CLEP tests and getting all your credits can you transfer your college credit to any college besides the 2,900 college they offer? like Lehman college or NYFA(New York Film Academy) or music production. Because they are college level test and every collage has college level classes? and when I try to see if they take CLEP CREDITS its as if they don't allow it. PLEASE HELP ME I want to go to college and get out like you under a year.
It depends on what kind of degree you want. CLEPs aren't going to be good at NYFA because film is hands on and there's no point of testing out of something that's hands on like that.

I studied principles of Management for a whole week and failed by one point! (49). I literally wanted to cry, I was so sure I had passed while I was taking it 😔 I hate college board’s 3 month re take policy! It should 30 days, not 90 😕
I am sorry about that. ❤ I wish you the best of luck on the next one!!
Hi, I am about to take the principles of management exam myself. What study material did you use ??
I failed too.

Can I take the CLEPS tests prior to enrolling at a college. Or do I have to be enrolled in a college before taking CLEP tests ?
You can take them before enrolling, just check that your collage of choice accepts them if you want them to count towards duel enrollment.
Take them before, but just be careful about what college you choose, because not all schools have the same policies. I am looking for testimonials from people who used CLEPs/DSSTs to test out of college. Could you email me? I'll send you a list of questions to answer. masonaksamit@yahoo.com
So I am taking the Spanish 1 & 2 clep exam in 4-5 days and I just want to know if you have any tips for me as I can speak and listen really well as I am a native speaker but have problems with reading and grammar and I heard you have only 12 seconds to answer a question. Any tips?
12 seconds to answer a question? I believe that is only for the first listening portion of the test, that you have that. When I took the German test the grammar portion, has basically really difficult reading passages, but all of the complicated parts you can get from context. My biggest tip, is just don't stress; go in confident that you'll pass. and then pass.
The CLEP School OK thanks 😊
The CLEP School how was it?
I don't see Spanish on the free clep prep website.
Hey I’m taking the marketing Clep exam soon. Any tips on what to study and what to look forward to ? Thanks
It's all your confidence dude, if you go into it thinking you'll pass you will. If you're uncertain study a bit more
So there are practice tests at: freeclepprep.com. If i master those practice tests, do you think i can pass my exam on introduction to marketing?
What do 5hink about the intro to Psychology exam? I have 2weeks and 4 days left to study for it-would you say that's enough tome?
Caroline Rapagnola should be, I got i day in a week and a half
@@MasonAksamit oh good! I took it 20 yrs ago but bc they purge all tests after 20 yrs. I have to retake not-so I'm a little nervous.
How did you feel about intro to intro to business?
If you know business, take it. If not, don't. I am looking for testimonials from people who used CLEPs to test out of college. Could you email me, I'll send you a list of questions to answer? masonaksamit@yahoo.com
is there a link to practice tests for clep macroeconomics? how did you think it was in terms of difficulty?
If you go on the clep website, you should be able to get them from the CLEP book, when you schedule your tests. I found it difficult but I hate economics haha
What’s the youngest someone can take cleps?
Thank you
geraldine pearson I don’t think there is any age limit
It’s 13 years old
Do I need to be enrolled in a college in order to take the clep and dsst would that be easier? And if so how would that work out would they allow me to just take clep exams and not there classes very confused about this or would I go apply to the school once I have all of the clep and dsst ect done with and ready for my degree? I’m trying to get my bachelors within a year if possible
I have same question. Did u get answer?
You can do either or. Just look into the colleges CLEP and DSST requirements before enrolling. Certain colleges accept more at a lower scores: SNHU, TESU, Charter Oaks, and Excelsior. I am looking for testimonials from people who used CLEPs/DSSTs to test out of college. Could you email me? I'll send you a list of questions to answer. masonaksamit@yahoo.com oneyeardiploma.com
Can I take all my cleps then apply to the school?
Yes
I want to obtain a Marketing degree. How should I go about taking the clep courses?
First you need to find a school that accepts a good amount of transfer credit, i would recommend the big 3 and SNHU. And then start working on exams that will transfer into a marketing degree via the school you choose.
can you talk about what CLEP you need for getting which final degree, because if I take all CLEP that does not make me qualified for one degree. I think you need to be more strategic on what exam you take to get the final degree. right?
It ultimately depends on what program you're in and what school you're attending. In most American colleges you study General education for 2 years, and 1-2 semesters of elective credits, and you just need to fill those 75-90 credits. So taking as many easy CLEPs and DSSTs as possible helps speed up the process. I am looking for testimonials from people who used CLEPs/DSSTs to test out of college. Could you email me?

I completed the Sociology CLEP course on Study.com. I then took the practice test in the Official CLEP Study Guide and I got 70% correct. I know that's a good score and I should be ready enough to take the exam, but I want to score a bit higher. I *really* don't want to take this course again in college.
So, do you know of any ways that I can get my score up? I completed all of the quizzes on Study.com. Is there anything else I should do to boost my score?
SO the best way i can suggest is review the questions you got wrong by rematching those videos. And try taking the practice test again. That should work
Okay, I'll try that! Thanks!
I am istudying College math now..Very difficult for me. Any suggestions ? Thank You..I have a few months before the CLEP exam.
I think the biggest key to any of it is to relax, and try to enjoy the process more if you can. Typically the issue I see a lot of people have is that they have the mindset that the test (or anything) is extremely difficult and therefore when they study it it'll become more difficult. Because your mind typically creates the challenge more so than the test actually does.
Especially if you have a few months I would recommend trying to make smaller goals for yourself within the study process. So, for example, if you are struggling with certain types of math problems like quadratic equations and graphing inequalities. Focus on one at a time, instead of both, really concentrate on quadratic equations first, and do so many problems that you feel like it won't be difficult any more. Than move onto the next one.
It works for two different reasons, #1: despite what people say it as actually scientifically impossible to multitask fully because your brain has to change focus in between tasks. So when you focus on one at a time, it becomes a lot more sensical, and you learn it quicker. #2: It gives you a small sense of pride when you accomplish things (no matter what it is) so if you work at the smaller senses of pride, i.e. I can do this type of problem now. You'll have a much stronger motivation to continue on.
Sorry for the really long answer, But I'd love to help in anyway... feel free to email me (attached to the home page of my channel), and we can set up a tutoring session if you are feeling nervous at all! :) Otherwise I hoped I answered your question well! :)
The CLEP School I have indeed found a like-minded person in you! I so agree!
Among AP and CLEP, which chemistry do you think is more challenging. Greets from Pakistan!
I did not take Chemistry in either; however, AP os far more difficult than CLEP for every test I ever have done.
Thank you so much for your kind response. I got my answer anyway
can you take the clep exams in college or only in high school?
Whenever you want, you don't have to be enrolled in school
How hard was the American Government test?

Havent finished watching the video. Why did you take so many? Just to make these videos, which I truly appreciate. I thought that you get only some accepted at most universities. Is there a trick to get more accepted? Also, can you clep 2 yrs of college or just one?
Sariah Piedrasanta no I did it cuz I got my bachelors in a year without student loan debt owed (I paid well under $17,000). Certain universities accept anywhere from 90-120 transfer credit hours. So you just need to research which college to attend
@@MasonAksamit reallyyyyy that is awesome! Congrats, my twins are going to be seniors next year and since they didn't have much to do during the shutdown, I got them CLEP books. I know you can transfer the courses, but again I thought most colleges only accept a few. Do you have a video where you explain your journey? I need to finish my degree too lol
I am taking substance abuse and environmental science please help me to know where to get study material from please

Hey Im planning to take Social Science and History clep exam. Can you please give me some tips and which source should I use? Right now I'm learning from Modern state university and Mometrix Test Preparation youtube videos. Thanks
I use study.com. I think it's personally the best source for getting all of the material that you need.
"And by a few I mean one" 😂😂😂
love your videos
Does the history clep have an essay?
Nope! The only test I know of with an essay is the CLEP College Composition Modular.
Do you know if I can CLEP the Arabic language?
Inas Cateriano not yet unfortunately
What did you use to study for the clep exams?
Mainly study.com... but i used a variety of sources, libraries have a lot of audio books to utilize
thanks
are CLEP credits accepted by the Air Force?
I believe so... All forms of military are DANTES funded (which means you can do it for free) I don't know all of the details off hand, but here is the link from their website about the military benefits. I hope this Helps! :)
clep.collegeboard.org/earn-college-credit/military-benefits
Yes. The Community College of the Air Force accepts both CLEPS and DSST (DANTES).
Pretty much all Base Education Centers have exam rooms where you can take either CLEPS or DANTES.
Did you actually score 50 on marketing without studying??!!
Yes, it's definitely one of the easiest CLEP exams.
What college did you go to
Jo Co snhu
I love the intro so much lol
Hey ik im late but I need 1 more credit to graduate can you help me
In what way? :)
The CLEP School I need one more credit I’m thinking about taking the biology test can you fine me some tips on that
I never took that exam so I wouldn't be able to help, but I would recommend something a bit easier, because that is considered one of the hardest exams.
Emeka Omenye Why don't you try something like English Composition? I heard this one is really easy. I heard "If you speak English, I recommend you don't even study and just take it."
I can attest to that! English comp is real easy.
Love your vids
Thanks man!
You cracked me up.
TLDR; 4:59
free condoms 2:05 love it hahah
Do you know the policy for AP in Excelsior College?
No sorry, but if you contact the college, they will help you out no problem
