Yesterday was Kelly’s first day of studying for the Freshman College Composition test of the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP). She read the introductory chapter yesterday. Tomorrow, she will take the first sample test to determine where she is and identify the areas she needs to study most. We are not sure how well this will work for us, but we will never know until we give it a try. We have decided to wait until we return from Mexico to start studying for the General RadioTelephone Operators License (GROL) Exam. All of us (Christian, Kelly, and I) want to study for the GROL. We are not sure whether Kelly is preparing for too many exams at one time, but the plan is to take a whole year to go through the GROL exam materials a couple of times before we take the test. In the meantime, we will just have to experiment a little to see how long it takes for Kelly to feel comfortable to take the CLEP tests. Probably each one will be be different, but test preparation should get more efficient with practice.
We are very excited about our trip to Mexico. We have just three more days before we drive over to Charlotte to stay in a motel by the airport for the evening, then get on the plane for Mexico the next day!
