I am taking a clep test for business law and marketing. I printed out the exam guide from collegeboard but it really doesn't seem like much material.. like just 80 practice questions... who has taken any and how did you study for it?

Took it. Found it a bit, elementary, to say the least.

I took it for 4 classes my freshman year of college. Nothing like marketing/business law. All were really easy. If you have experience in yours, they shouldn't be a problem.

Took one for PHYS 1100. I was not prepared, and only got 9/20 questions correct. Got credit for the class

I'll put it this way.

I took CLEPS for History 201, 202, and Biology whatever it was in 2002. I was in the 9th grade. Passed both history tests easily and missed biology by 2 points, even though I had never even taken high school biology. Basically, they were super easy.

Just do flashcards of the 80 questions they gave in the exam prep material? And I should be good from that?

Anyone else just print out the exam guide and just study the sample questions?

I don't have a text book, and am worried I might be screwing myself over by not having one to study

If you know a lot about the subject from your life experience you will pass without any problem. If you don't you probably won't from just studying for a couple days.
