I've been taking some classes at UMass Online for a couple of semesters now but am trying to test out of everything I can. So far UMass Lowell has been great. I don't see it mentioned on here much. They offer complete 4 yr degrees online. I've taken three tests now. Intro to Sociology - 69 Intro to Information and Computer something - 72 Intro to Microeconomics - 67 Used Best Test Preparation for Sociology book as my only resource. Studied maybe 10 hrs tops. Lots of questions were pure common sense. No studying for the Computer CLEP test. Easy, almost a joke. For micro-econ I bought the Barron's book recommended on B.A. in 4 weeks and threw it out. I did most of my studying from this site. http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072237409/student_view0/chapter18/powerpoint_presentations.html Start about half-way through the chapters (as Macro starts with Chapter 1). Very easy to follow. I wish I could find powerpoints like these for all the tests. Just ordered two books for the Dantes Technical Writing and Statistics tests. Psych, Human Growth and Freshmen Comp and I'm done with my 2 yr degree from UMass.
Cliffs Quick Review for Economics is also a great study resource for both micro and macro clep exams. The book is only 156 pages and covers both subjects. Cy
Did you actually take the exams with only this book? There are several questions from the CLEP test on microeconomics that aren't even mentioned in the book.
If you need credits, here is a list of some of the CLEPS/DANTES exams I have taken. As you can see by the dates I had taken them, I really did not study for any of them except the ECE Research Methods in Psy. I did have a BS in Business from CCU and an MCSE so that help with the exams with a "*". I passed all of these and earned and "A" or "B" from Charter Oak State College for them (except Intro to Criminal Justice & Intro to Law Enforcement which I got a "C") Good luck.
