Mister Prep Information
-What is Mister Prep?
Mister Prep is an advanced teaching system that allows
you to learn through focused multiple-choice questions and detailed explanations. The explanations hit on the key points
most likely to be on the chosen
CLEP* or DSST test.
-How long will it take me to study for a
CLEP* or DSST exam using the Mister Prep system?
Some students can do the practice tests in just days and take the real exams. The average study time is about two weeks per exam. With Mister Prep studying can be done literally anywhere, anytime.
-How can I adequately master the material without textbooks?
Trying to memorize a textbook or study guide is a daunting task! Our system breaks each course down into categories or subgroups and provides a question-based learning approach focused on helping
you adequately master the subject.
This system concentrates on teaching you what you need to know to pass each exam instead of filling
your mind with useless information. Due to our unique question format you can enter the exam with increased confidence and assurance of success.
-Why is the Mister Prep method more effective than traditional study methods?
Traditional methods provide you with written subject material to read, learn, and memorize. Few students can read about a subject and learn all they need to know to pass a
CLEP* exam. In addition, taking practice tests can be helpful, but only if the student has already mastered the subject.
Our system is different. We take a subject and creates a question-based approach intended to cover the material in a
concise, but thorough manner. You don't need any other textbooks or study guides.
-Do I need to purchase other books or material to go along with Mister Prep?
No other books or study guides are required. Our system will prepare you with the information you need to know in order to pass the
CLEP* exam. Our new Version 2 (v2) offers a
different approach to studying and can even further improve your scores and
testing confidence.
