Tip #1: Evaluations, Rankings, and College
One relatively easy way to come up in your peer rankings is to take College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and DANTES exams. These exams are free to active-duty members and can earn up to 6 college credits per exam. They are made by the same company that makes the SAT so standard test taking skills apply. They are surprisingly easy to pass and count as college class when your evaluation is stacked against your peers. I know of one servicemember who earned 27 credits in one morning! The DANTES exam topics are:
B = Baccalaureate Program
BU = Baccalaureate Upper Division
