Well, as of today, my next CLEP is two weeks away and I am working hard on studying! The REA book I bought for this test (yes, I had to spend money!) has an online diagnostic test which is VERY helpful as you work out your weaknesses. I highly recommend buying the new REA books…

March Interview: Mr. Daniel Phillips
All Distance Learning students take CLEP exams, but not all who take CLEP exams are Distance Learning students. Not my best, but its been a long week. I hope you enjoy this interview with Daniel Phillips, the oldest son of long time family friends. Note, I asked Daniel for a picture of him with his…
March Focus: Scheduling and Foccusing on… School
Here we are, half way through the month, and we are just now talking about school! On a school blog! Well, that’s the whole point… getting our priorities straight. I don’t know about you, but in my life school ranks after some other things (like God, family, and exercise). Here are some ways to keep…
