    These sound perfect! I like the idea of CLEP tests for college credit, and the ACT prep course will be a necessity for us in about two years. Thanks, Tricia!

    We have done several CLEP/DSST tests, and really love the REA books. Hoping to have one do Biology and one ACT next year, so this would be a great win!

    Wishing you and your kids lots of success in this high school journey. We just found out Miss 17 is accepted to the university she chose, with a scholarship!

    CLEP exams are not common in Canada, and even AP subject tests are difficult to access, but they seem to be a great option for the US.

    CLEP tests have always been in our long term plan. I had not checked into these books before but I love how comprehensive they seem to be. Sociology and Psychology are on our list right now. Maybe Biology after that.

    Practicing for the ACT made all the difference in my daughter getting accepted to each college that she applied for…so be encouraged, folks. There are a lot of colleges who are looking for kids who are self-motivated, like our homeschooled teens!
