My Personal Record

As you know, I have the tendency to overstudy. Not everyone has this problem, but I can tell you that it can be debilitating. Spending a month on a test that others pass in one week is almost a sure way to pass, but it can also put you way behind on your goals. 


So a couple of weeks ago I determined to pass the Human Growth and Development CLEP as quickly as possible. 

• Tip #1: Never aim low! Set a high goal and do your best to reach it.

I didn't have a study plan mapped out, though, so my goal of "as quickly as possible" was intangible and therefore hard to quantify.

• Tip #2: Create solid, realistic goals. A goal is specific and measurable. Read about dreams, resolutions, and goals here.  Download this worksheet called The Power of Goals by Dan Miller.

Will CLEP Work for Me?

"I want to be an astronaut." 

OK!

"I also have an interest in engineering."

All right!

"Did I mention my lifelong dream to get into secretarial work?"

No, but that's fine!

"What about my aspirations for theater?"

Awesome!

The truth is that CLEP can help you with just about whatever you want to do! If you're getting an Associate's, Bachelor's or even a Master's degree, you could benefit from taking a CLEP test. 



• Shorten the time it takes to earn your degree.
• Save money on tuition.
• Graduate on time if you’re a few credits short of a degree.
• Add flexibility to your degree program.


So, how are you using CLEP to accomplish your goals and pursue your dreams?
