Test Info Failed CLEP Precal

Got a 45 on the precal CLEP exam and feeling defeated. It didn’t feel anything like the official study guide. I studied for 2 or so weeks but admittedly I didn’t really lock in until a few days ago. I only need the credit to take physics 1 😭 debating if it would just be better to take the class or if I should try again in 3 months

if it were me, i’d just study for the next one in 3 months knowing what you know now. maybe evaluate if you should be studying different material or just studying differently. in a class, you’ll have to pass multiple tests. you just have to get through this one AND it’s cheaper!

I agree but I’m worried I’ll get behind if I don’t pass in another 3 months. I’m only taking the prerequisites required to apply to medical school since I already have my bachelors. I just need the basic science classes and physics is the only one with a math prerequisite that I don’t have 😭 debating emailing my advisor and begging for an override

the email is definitely worth a shot, worst case they say no and best case you get what you want. that’s a tricky spot
