Has anyone here taken any CLEP tests?

I am disappointed you did not get the right answers from the Ed center. It is the only reason they exist to give you the answers to tough civilian ed questions. I did two CLEPs and more than 50 DANTES. I did so many Dante's because they were easy, free and I educated myself on many subjects. I would suggest you get with a military associated college like Cental Texas College, University of Maryland or Excelsier College. Sign a SOCAD agreement with that college. A SOCAD is a contract to finish a degree program with that college. Then whenever you want to take a test, you can ask their ed counselor if their college will accept those credits. Example: I wanted to take English CLEP. I asked the college ed rep if they would accept the credits. She said yes, but only if I took the English CLEP with Essay version. There are short practice tests for every CLEP, but in my opinion they are not a real example of how difficult the actual exam is. I took the practice exam and I thought it was easy. Then I took the actual exam. It was a very hard test. When you rip open the test envelope it assigns you an essay subject. Then you have to write a rough draft, then rewrite it as a five paragraph paper. Both must be turned in and are part of your grade. I think I finished it with less than five seconds to spare and I only got a C on the test. So I retook English in the classroom and got an A. I also took American History I CLEP and got an easy A, I blew it out of the water. My Associates Degree was with Central Texas College. My Bachelors is with Excellciors, both are good colleges. Excellciors accepted most of my DANTEs, Central Texas College accepted not as many. Always ask before you begin studying for the exam, if your time is limited or valuable. DANTEs were very easy exams. I got over 48 As and two Bs. Good luck on your degree program.

They seem easy enough. There is study material available as well I believe too.

Take CLEP tests. Often. They count. If you can get 3 credits in a subject, then that's a class you don't have to pay for and a couple of months you don't have to spend in college.
