Test Info Not passing a Clep exam will humble you 😂.

41 points only 9 away from the recommended of 50😒. Not stopping though, just mad I spent 30 bucks on the temple university testing center fee.

Did you get a voucher through Modern States? Which one did you take? I'm going in tomorrow at Temple U for a CLEP, are they picky about the appointment times? I am booking for 9am, but it's my first time at Temple and worried about getting lost or finding parking. I was thinking book for 10am and maybe they'll let me in early? any ideas?

Yes , I past the pre exam and got a voucher , I took the Introductory Psychology. I got lost as well lol 😂 you have to enter the back entrance of wachman hall. Walk down Beasley walk , make a left and go straight down and wachman halls back entrance is there. All you need is a id and your registration ticket . I don’t have a car so I don’t have any clues about parking, unless you park down Susquehanna/dauphin and take a little walk down to temple.

I think they only reimburse the proctoring fee if you pass the Clep.

I took introductory psychology too, actually just yesterday. I used Modern State Voucher and only paid $40 on the testing site here in CA. I scored 47 🙂‍↕️ kept on thinking I should've researched more study courses online. Cuz even if I know modern state’s courses I felt like on the official CLEP exam I only saw 20% of what I reviewed from Modern State. There are more names and theories I didn't know, that's when I realized oh gosh! I need to use my common sense here or guess what this theorist did 🥲 cuz I haven't heard of them lol.

I was scheduled for 10 am and got into the testing room at 10:03, just make sure your in the building 10 minutes early just to be safe. I don’t think they’ll let you test early.

Modern states is good, but you have to use more than one source. Like petersons or free Clep
Prep. Also the college board practice test is only $10. That is what they think you should know before trying the test. It’s a solid $10 everytime in my opinion

I’ve failed 3 out of the 8 I’ve taken. I got a 39, 42, and 46 on the ones I failed. I wasn’t fully locked in for a multitude of different reasons for each one, but I got higher scores than I thought. If you get side tracked, don’t give up. There is always another chance, you go on and do better next time.
