I need to take Soc300 as a general studies requirement for my degree. At my school they recognized the Dantes Human and Cultural Geography as an equivalent.

Instantcert doesn't have this course in their list. Has anyone taken it and can you recommend a study guide or other courses that instantcert has that are relevant to this test.

For the clep Social Science and History course, Instant cert recommends you review 6 other sets of questions they have because they don't have a specific set for that course. I was hoping that someone could recommend a similar suggestion for the Human and cultural Geography test. Or some other study guide.

Also, if anyone has taken the test is it hard? and what does it basically cover.

Thanks:

I can't tell you how helpful this forum has been in my quest to finally complete my undergrad degree. With that in mind, I'm about to register for my first CLEP exam. If I pass this it will get me off the hook for 4 semesters of Spanish. My university requires a minimum score of 50 on the foreign language exams. I've taken three Peterson's practice tests, and my scores were 73, 69, 77 respectively.

Is this a good indication that I could pass the actual CLEP test with at least a 50?

Many thanks!

Now I have read several post about the TESC "customer service" or lack there of, but my experience is just plan ole show of laziness. To start things off it took me and entire week of calling and leaving messages on the phone of the regional counselor to get one reply. Once I met him he invited me to his office to discuss TESC. Even though I felt like I had gained a decent of amount of knowledge from this site about TESC I decided to sit down and listen. He "insisted" that I take the paperwork home with me and look everything over (Mistake #1). I went back home and about 45 minutes had passed. I called tried to call him back to tell him that I had decided to go with TESC....NO ANSWER. That was almost three weeks ago, and I have called at least every other day since then.

Does ANYBODY know a different way inwhich I can register for the military degree completion, other than going through that guy?

I am new to this site. I found out about it just today from another online student. I am currently taking my last class with Ashford U. I have only to clep out of Information Systems. hilarious I am an old gal (46). I work with computers daily, but know nothing of the inner workings or mechanics of them. I have textbooks that were given to me by computer tech instructors. I teach at a community college so I have that resource. I have downloaded the clep exam practice test for north carolina. I am also studying with instacert. I still don't know half of what I should. I plan to take the clep test on Nov. 20. If I do not pass I will not graduate as scheduled in Decembe nor will I get the big raise i am expecting following graduation. Another thing:confused: these stupid smiley faces aren't working for me!!LOL. I appreciate any and all advise from anyone. I would love to know how to study best for the exam, focus of exam and just general advise. Thanks to all and can someone please tell me how to make my faces smile:mad:

This is specifically regarding the "Analyzing / Interpreting Lit" Peterson's test. But I'd welcome feedback from anyone who's taken any of the Peterson's practice tests.

I've only gone through one so far, but I'd like to see if others felt the same way as I do about it.

It seemed to me that the questions were pretty fair, but that many of the *answer choices* were unfairly written. I kept feeling like there were at least two answers that seemed equally correct or very similar. "Hateful and determined" vs. "vile and effective"? "Regret and shame" vs. "pain and lamentation"? OK, so those aren't the best examples, but still. Give me a break.

Does anyone else find the Peterson's test(s) to be a bit tricky with what they ask? Also, I hear people say that Peterson's is supposed to be more difficult than the "real thing", so I'm trying to decide if I should give much thought to a relatively mediocre score. I felt I understood the passages well.

Has anyone gotten their BS in Liberal Studies through Excellsior College?
I am in the midst of figuring out my best route, and would like to see how others did it, to see my best bet.

THanks in advance...

I'm looking at doing the BSLS with a Psychology focus at Excelsior. I want to make sure I have the correct list of which exams fall under Psychology. I already have completed intro to Psychology from a B&M school.

I'm planning on taking:

ECE Abnormal Psychology
ECE Research Methods in Psychology
ECE Foundations of Gerontology
ECE Psychology of Adulthood and Aging
ECE Social Psychology

For the 7th class I need to decide between:

CLEP Intro to Educational Psychology
CLEP Human Growth and Development
DSST Lifespan Developmental Psychology
ECE Lifespan Developmental Psychology
DSST Organizational Behavior
ECE Organizational Behavior

My first question is are all of those exams considered psychology?

Are there any other exams not listed that count towards the Psychology focus?

Of that last list which do you think is the easiest?

I had been planning on taking DSST Civil War and ECE World Populations to finish off my upper level requirement for Arts and Sciences, but if I take the ECE Organizational Behavior I can pass on the World Populations.

I'm interested in what you guys think.

Thanks

if your college says that geting a 50 is passing with a C for a CLEP exam and they will give u equivilancy course credit for it, does that mean if you get a 50 ..they put the course down on the transcript with a C and contribute that to your GPA?

I am currently studying for my second CLEP (Macro Economics) with IC. I was just wondering how others used the website because it seems that i am taking a much longer than everyone else to prepare for exams. I current study one set of questions till i get a 90% or higher than move on to the next set of questions. I study between about 15 hours a week. It will probably take me 2-3 weeks to prepare (already got 1 week down) just see how long it takes me to get through the rest of the material.

I just seems people here are able to test in 1 week. Whats the secret different study method or perhaps i'm not spending enough time studying.
