Has anyone purchased the international version of this book:

Operations Management, 8th edition., Jay Heizer and Barry Render, Prentice-Hall, 2006. ISBN #0131554441

If so was it the same as the US version? Did it have the CD?

Thanks for any information. I am trying to find an inexpensive version of this book with CD.

Has anyone taken the LSAT? If so, how well did you do? I plan to take the LSAT on Dec. 1st. I have several LSAT books, and I'm considering a course from Princeton Review, ExpressOnline, which lasts 2-3 weeks and costs $99. There's also the Online offering, which lasts 3-7 weeks, for $599, and LiveOnline, 4-8 weeks, $899. Then it starts at $2000 for small group tutoring, $3000 for private tutoring, online or in person.

In summation, what did you use to study, and if you used any Princeton courseware, how effective did you find it to be? Thanks.

Hey guys, well i'm new here. My names Micah and well i'd like to just talk a little about myself and explain why I joined InstantCert. I'm currently a freshmen at college just graduated High School and it was a long dream of *what i thought* mine to be a doctor, so majoring in biology would help me achieve that correct? Well I started attending several "pick your career/major" workshops in my university and realized that a medical/science major is not for me, but in fact a business oriented major is best for me. I looked into the great possibilities of being an accountant major so I ended up here. I'm actually taking Biology(major) courses now, which I will be changing my major coming next semester, when I will also be transferring out of this university to SUNY ALBANY. Since deadlines passed already to add new courses, I was unable to add any business(accounting) pre-reqs to my schedule, but I didn't want to get left behind one semester. My advisor informed me of the CLEP exams and how they can do wonders for my education. So i'm looking into taking these CLEP Exams within the next 2 months(with intense studying)

CLEP Principles of Macroeconomics (FIRST ONE I'M TAKING IN 4 DAYS)
CLEP Principles of Microeconomics
CLEP Financial Accounting
CLEP Principles of Marketing
CLEP Principles of Management
CLEP Natural Science
CLEP College Algebra

Hopefully i'll pass them. And well i did apply to SUNY Albany straight from high school and unfortunately i did not get in. So hopefully after these CLEP exams(in the hopes that i pass) i'll get about 32 Credits this semester(1st semester in college including my currently enrolled credits). And SUNY Albany will not require my H.S. Transcript and i'll be able to get in. SUNY Albany advisors told me that all the CLEP exams i'm taking are given credit for, but if i send the CLEP exam transcript directly i'll probably still have to show my H.S. Transcript because its tests and not really more then 24 CLASS Credits. The SUNY albany advisor told me to try to get my university to give me credit for the CLEP exams as real classes(which my university does) and then I wouldn't have to show my High school transcript. Wish me the best of luck for this one

ANYWAY getting back to my CLEP...

Macroeconomics will be the first CLEP exam i'll be attempting within 4 days. I've been using InstantCert for a good week now and can answer about every question (randomized) in the Macroeconomics section. I'll probably get around to watching those free videos online about macroeconomics also. Anyway any advice you have for this test or general CLEP(first timer straight out of high school) would be appreciated. thanks for listening to my boring story everyone. Have a good one

If so, please comment. The DSST has me freaked out.

I just passed CLEP Principals of Management today with a 71. I am looking for advice on my next CLEP- Sociology or Computer Systems.

I concur with everyone here that said this test sucked!
I studied IC for around two weeks, and listened to the audible book "The Cold War" (which was awesome). 6 questions into the test, I felt way over my head. All of the topics looked familiar enough to be dangerous, but only about 25% of the questions seemed familiar enough to be answered with any hope of success.
Those questions that had the roman numerals seemed waaaaay over the top! (I and II, I,II,III,or V)
I am hoping for the best but would not be surprised at all to see this one come back a 30.
On the flipside, I passed Conflicts Since 1900 with a 512 (High C?) but hey, it's a pass for a UL credit!
-HB

I passed Business Math today with a 75! I decided to take this exam after studying and successfully passing both CLEP College Algebra and DSST Statistics. I have also taken accounting and marketing. If you have taken those courses, this exam should be easy. It consisted of 54 questions and it took me approximately 1 hour.

For those looking for three credits and are decent at math, this exam is a good one. I used Schaums Outline of Business Mathematics and Steve Slavin's book, Quick Business Math. I studied for approximately one week since I had exposure to most of the topics through other classes.

I called an admission's counselor at EC to find this out, but I was told that they couldn't give me such advice.
Basically, I just want to sign up for some EC examinations for the UL requirements of the Psychology major, but I don't want to duplicate the DSST Drugs & Alcohol that I already passed.
I also have already passed Intro to Psych. (clep), Human Growth & Development (clep) and Principles of Statistics (dsst), as well as Fundamentals of Counseling(dsst) and Organizational Behavior (dsst).
I know that I need Reasearch Methods to fullfill the core requirements, so that is one I don't have a problem with.
Now, if I take Abnormal Psych., Social Psych. and Adulthood & Aging, would I be duplicating Drugs & Alcohol abuse or any other credits mentioned above? If anyone knows, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

I was reading somewhere that someone said you could write in the dsst booklet it you are taking it written. I didn't know if you could do that or do they frown down on it. Let me know cause I am taking one Friday.
THANKS
John
