CLEP

I've been trying to study for the CLEP College Algebra exam. It would be nice to have the current study materials arranged specifically for that test! I'm also interested in taking the DSST Physical Science exam, and one would think that the Physics, Chemistry, and other questions could be collected to target that test.

I think that would be a great idea! http://courses.modernstates.org has CLEP prep videos and such, but not a good way to study for mastery like Khan Academy does. I want to CLEP out of Precalculus (because I'm smart enough to learn it and want to save a few hundred dollars on my required math class for my bachelor's), but after spending 2 months learning everything in the Precalculus course, I discovered I was missing a lot of very key information. I'm going through the 6-week Modern States course in record time (less than a week to cover the first week, and I actually covered week 2 in one day), because some of it I'm familiar with, but there is so much good info in their videos that I just didn't ever get because I think it was either assumed to have been learned earlier in high school math (which was like 20+ years ago for me), or it just wasn't taught. Also, things like imaginary numbers were taught, which apparently isn't even on the CLEP exam, and while it was fun to learn them, it feels like I wasted a week or two of my life figuring them out (since I never learned about them in high school). Granted, anything learned will come back to me later when I need it, faster than the first time I learned it... but I'm taking a bachelor of arts and only need one math class plus statistics, and I doubt imaginary numbers will show up in statistics. I chose precalculus because it's the only math course other than full-on calculus that my college will allow me to CLEP (they won't take the credits from the other math CLEP courses, in other words), so I didn't have a lot of choices.

Anyhow, yes, I think it would be great if Khan Academy could develop courses that covered info that could be on the various math CLEP exams. I mean, I'm not usually a fan of teaching to the test, but when it comes to fulfilling credit requirements in areas that will not benefit one's future career (I'm going to be a therapist, so I won't need anything above elementary math in my future career; I doubt I'll even use much of the statistics, although who knows?), I don't see anything wrong with learning it well enough to pass a test.
