Hey guys, I'm considering taking the CLEP Math exam to cover some gen-ed requirements ahead of time but I'm doing it all on my own. Any tips on self-studying for this? How difficult did you find it and what resources did you use to get ready?
Absolutely, self-study for the CLEP Math exam is quite doable, and it's great that you're taking initiative! The difficulty level largely depends on your background in math. If you've been comfortable with high school algebra and geometry, you should find the material manageable.
To get a more concrete sense of where you're at, start by reviewing the exam content on the College Board CLEP website to understand what topics you'll need to cover. From there, practice is key. Use free online resources like Khan Academy for topic-specific tutorials. Some students also find it helpful to join a study group or online forums for shared learning and support.
To simulate the testing experience, I recommend getting the official CLEP study guide, which includes practice questions and exam overviews, or you can use other test prep books dedicated to the CLEP Math exam.
Remember to set a consistent study schedule and take regular practice tests to track your progress. With dedication and the right resources, you can definitely succeed in self-studying for the CLEP Math exam! Good luck!
