Well… Management CLEP update
I took and passed Principles of Management, with a 52. Last night I went to sleep thinking I wouldn’t take it because I had just made a 49 on my practice test (after fairly good scores all month) and I thought I had a sinus infection. My family prayed for me and I got a…
Repost: A Necessary Argument
Here’s a repost , since I’m busy studying. 🙂 One of the favorite things people tell me when I try and explain the way I’m doing college is… “Well, how are you ever going to find a spouse that way? I met my husband/wife at college!” Now I have NOTHING against meeting your spouse…
Update and CLEP help
I am still studying for Principles of Management this week. I scored a 60 on my practice test today, which is awesome!!! (especially considering all the questions I was surprised at) As I said, it got moved to August 2 at 10:00. Which means I have 14 days to keep studying. And 21 days until…
The New Majority – Helpful Tip
If you are applying for a scholarship (or anything else where you have to give your status as a student), do not choose College Student unless you are a full time student, enrolled in a 2 or 4 year university. If you are CLEPing, taking Distance Courses, a student of CollegePlus, or anything else on…

Marketing CLEP update
Well, I’m still studying for the Principles of Marketing CLEP. I’m scheduled for this Friday at 10:00. Yesterday I scored a 61 on my practice test, which was REALLY good. Supposedly, Marketing is one of the easiest CLEPs, but I think that has a lot to do with what you enjoy doing. For instance, I…
"Plans can change…"
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps. Proverbs 16:9 I pulled out my desk calendar. It is full of paper clips, notes, pen scratches, and scribbles. Notes of what I hoped to do, planned to do, and what I did. Usually they’re different things. Seasons of life is phrase…
Not Sure Where to Start?
It seems pretty typical. College students don’t know what to study. It’s okay. It’s the way God designed it. You don’t know where you will be in 2 years or 6 years, so how do you know what to study in college? Should you study a specific thing, or go general? If you have an…
What to do with your CLEP score
With a few exceptions because of essays, all CLEP tests are automatically scored. You walk out of the test room with your score, knowing if you passed or failed. Personally, I find that much more freeing than waiting weeks in limbo – wondering. But what do you do with your score? Do you send it…
