SOA will grant the credit with score of 53 or higher, right?
ACE score is 50 to pass. I got 64, not as good comparing with the 70s. Just want to make sure SOA will give me the credit.

Thanks

I found this on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/jodiecongirl/videos?view=1
Going to supplement this with my AP text book because I'm lazy and I prefer to learn by watching videos.

Why'd you take the Spanish? Or was that a while back?

So let me get this right. You sign up for the CLEP econ exam, pass it, and you get the credit? No homeworks or anything?

You got it!

Cost is about $80 from CLEP. Some test center charge a bit extra, as additional fee, for their facility. The place I picked, didn't charge anything extra. So 80x2=160 for both Macro and Micro Econ combined. Guide book free from local library - most city libraries have the Cracking AP book. Combined book on Macro and Micro. Two guides, one from Kaplan, one from Princeton review. Instant result. Ten to twenty hrs max study time.

I needed a second language requirement. The CLEP was the easiest way to get it done quickly.
