Advanced Test-Taking Strategies
Mastering the CLEP Exam
To excel at CLEP exams, go beyond basic memorization and develop advanced test-taking skills.
Strategic Guessing
If you don't know the answer, eliminate as many wrong choices as possible and make an educated guess—there's no penalty for wrong answers!
Time Management
Allocate time per section and keep an eye on the clock. If you're stuck, move on and return later if time allows.
Managing Stress
Use deep breathing techniques or mindfulness exercises during the test. Staying calm helps you think clearly.
Reviewing Your Work
If time permits, review your answers—double-check for careless mistakes or misread questions.
Real-World Application
These skills are valuable not just for CLEP, but for future standardized tests in college and your career.
Examples
Skipping a tough question and returning to it after finishing the easier ones.
