Which one is easier The college math Clep or the algebra clep has anyone taken them,

Hi I need to get some feed back from people who have taken the college math clep or the algebra clep Im prety average on math but Im just tire of spending money on classes that I dont really need

 

I studied for the College Math CLEP using this guide. I just worked my way through it, front to back over the course of two or three weeks and passed with something ridiculous like a 77 or a 78.

In fact, I got virtually my entire degree via 28 CLEP/DSST exams from COSC and found COMEX books to be universally excellent!

 

Have to agree. I used the same book and passed with ease. Actually, I used the COMEX and REA books for my tests and did well on all of them.

 

thanks for all the information

It is hard at times to be alone in this college thing I am the first in my family and I really dont have that much support so I do appreciate all the good information that I am learning about here, I plan to take the clep college math in two weeks and Im hoping to pass I have been working really hard.

 

What are your plans? Think of this board as one big family cheering for you!!

 

What Randell said! We are cheering for you ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know what you mean about the family thing. But you will find support here. Many here have lifted me up when I was down, and have given me good advice. I hope I have done the same in return. So just keep your eyes on the prize!!!!

If you need suggestions on other CLEPs and DANTES exams, let us know. I have taken 22 exams worth 84 credits. I am sure between all the people on this board almost every test was taken.

 

Thanks for all the helpful info

I bought the clep book and the comex over the weekend and I must say that they both are very helpful but I like the comex better I also have the peterson but have not gotten around to see it yet.

 

Is the REA book good? I'm going through that one and the Collins College Outlines for Basic Math... I can also take Peterson's... I'm okay at math, but it's been several years since I studied it and my skills have SEVERELY atrophied. Advice?

 

Anyone?? Are Peterson's and/or REA tests pretty close on this one?? I just got a 58 on the first Peterson's test. Better than I was expecting.

 

Hi

Im also using the peterson and the REA and the comex I find that they all give a little of everything that might come up

 

If I may ask - where do you plan to earn your degree? If it is one of the Big 3, you might want to look at ALEKS as an option:

The other option (if you want some structure) is to enroll in a Math Class for Spring Semester at Clovis Community College:

Both of these options are very inexpensive. Good luck!
