Being that I have already spent a large majority of my life going to school, I have really tried hard to spend as little time there as humanly possible. This all started when I started full time college at the age of 14, at Skagit Valley College. I took more credit hours there than most standard aged students took, and I couldn't even drive to get to my own classes. I quickly gained experience in quick study methods, which allowed me to absorb as much information as possible, in the shortest possible time. Soon I found that I didn't have to go to class, I could just self study and easily pass all of my classes with little effort.

I now have a Bachelors in Business Law from University of Michigan, an Associates in Industrial Technology from Baker College, and an Associates in Aircraft Maintenance Technology from Community College of the Air Force. I have nearly 250 credit hours in total, and I'm currently attending more classes through Baker College Online Campus and University of Alaska Anchorage.

With all of that college work going on, I decided that I had to find a better means of producing as many usable credit hours in the shortest period of time possible, so that I could make myself as marketable as possible upon exiting the military. One option for me was to take standardized tests, which essentially test your knowledge of different areas of study and give you credit based upon your ability to pass a standard test in a licensed testing center. Since all of these were paid for through the military, I decided that I would CLEP and DANTES out of as many classes as possible, regardless of whether or not I actually needed the credit or not. Free is free, and I figured that I could need the classes at some point in my life, even if Astronomy doesn't seem to make any sense for a Business major now.

The book starts out with quite a few different study techniques, memorization methods, etc, to help you retain as much of the information as possible. Obviously for a standardized test, you are completely unaware of what you are going to be tested on, because the questions are taken from such a broad number of sources. So essentially you just need
