Test Taking Tips and Strategies

The Test Taking Tips and Strategies page is here to blow that excuse out of the water. By far, that's the number one reason I'm given why people don't take CLEP, DSST, or Excelsior Examinations. It's like the person believes they are doomed to always fail tests. That's a bunch of bull. Anyone can be a good tester - It just takes practice.

Most people are still using the test taking habits they learned on their own in elementary school. If they somehow stumbled upon the good habits, we say they're "good at tests". I'm one of those "good testers", and I can assure you that we're nothing special. I'm not smarter than your average person, and my memory is absolutely horrible. (Seriously, I have a hard time with names two minutes after I'm introduced). So how do I pass all these exams? By using good habits like the "3-Pass-Method" and the "First Question Head-Fake".
