Sam did not pass the Natural Science CLEP test.  The scale is 20 to 80 with a pass of 50 and he got a 47.  That test is real bear and even gets some notice on Youtube as being one of the toughest to pass.  Nonetheless, his coach thinks that instead of wasting the time and effort, that Sam should go ahead and try for the Biology exam.  He already has a lot of time in studying biology for the natural science test and that will help him prepare for it.



We also visited another College Plus student on Friday.  This young man has successfully completed all of the CLEP and DANTES tests and is now finishing up his degree at Thomas Edison.  He gave Sam an idea of how he studied and prepared for each test and I think it gave Sam some idea of the level of commitment he has to achieve if he wants to pass this!  It was very eye opening, and very encouraging.



In other news, Izzy is corresponding with one of her cousins and it has really encouraged her to start writing more.  She is also cutting flowers for the church and has to write down what she does in the church log - so these are two writing activities that are encouraging her to write more. So with that in mind, I have resurrected her blog and hopefully she will start using that more too.
