Ok, does anyone know of someone that has ever had a perfect score -80- :eek: on a CLEP exam?? Just wondering!

Hi,

another newbie;

I am getting ready to take the English Freshman Comp W/Essay within the next couple weeks, scheduled Oct 3 at Eastern Mich Univ.
Since this is where my degree is being completed they need to grade the essay portion.
The required pass is 65, and I have some concerns with it, looking for some advice.

I have used IC, cliff notes/writing, grammar usage, writing under pressure, Petersons CLEP guide and various web resources, and the on-line petersons site.
Test scores are strong, and I feel pretty good about the writing portion, but the 65 has had me procrastinating.

Any last minute advice?

thanks

I passed the Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union yesterday with a 52!hilarious Minimum passing score was 45. I had been studying for 4 weeks! I looked around on this forum and found a post from 2006...Infoplease.com was a suggestion and it was brief but still helpful. I also used wikipedia. just type in Russian History and they have it all organized into sections and a table of contents at the top. I have put together flashcards from Wikipedia if anyone would like them.
The test itself, like everyone has been saying, is very difficult. So be PREPARED!

I just got my official evaluation from Excelsior today. I had them remove me from the BS program in Criminal Justice and enroll me in the AS in Liberal Arts.

I figured I might as well get my AS on the way to my Bachelors.

O.K. so here is the deal, I am 3 units away from getting my degree.

I need the 1 unit Info Literacy class which I am taking at PennFoster (just waiting for the proctored exam to arrive) and I also need 2 units to satisfy the Natural Science/Math Distribution Requirements.

Can anyone tell me if these are upper division or lower division? Can I clep out of the Nat Science/Math by taking a biology clep or college math clep?

I would also consider taking an easy math class if available at Penn Foster.

Anyone who knows please help. I am sooooo close I can almost taste it. hilarious

Hello Everyone,

I would like to clep Information Systems in next month or so. I have been in IT Field for past decade or so. I would highly appreciate any study material recommendations.

Thanks.

Has anyone here tested out of a language degree? I am currently pursuing a business degree but languages have always been my passion. I have been told that you can't really test out of them because they require more hands-on but I want to know if that is really true.

If anyone has tested out of a language degree (or has a degree plan for doing it) I would love to hear about it. More specifically I am interested in a Spanish degree...

Thanks everybody!

Can someone please take pity on my lack of math skill and help me understand something? I keep missing the same type of question, getting stuck at the same place. Perhaps I am not approaching the problem correctly, but for the life of me I can't get to the solution. Here are just 2 problem that can't solve, but I have missed 100% of every problem that ends up with an improper fraction as the answer to the variable.

1. 20x - 23 = 14x - 13
+13 to both sides
20x -10 = 14x
-14 from both sides
6x - 10 = x
(stuck)
the correct answer is 5/3

2. 42x + 40 = 7x
-7 both sides
35x + 40 = x
(stuck)
the correct answer is 8/7

Greetings everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself and tell you about my experience with InstantCert and Clep. I am studying HR management at Davenport University in Michigan. It has a good online program and numerous sattelite campuses if anyone cares to check it out.

I am being deployed after Thanksgiving (I'm a member of the Michigan National Guard) and so I wasn't able to enroll in classes this semester since I have pre-deployment training and I'm leaving before the semester ends. So I decided I would knock out a few classes by testing out. I found InstantCert while surfing the web and yesterday I decided to pay the money to get access to the test questions and this forum. Yesterday I also scheduled an appointment at the testing center to take the Information Systems and Computer Applications Clep test--which I scheduled for today.

That's right, one day after starting to study! I studied last night and all morning and into the afternoon and then took the test at 4:00 PM. I don't know a lot about computers, computer networks, or programming--just basic knowledge that you pick up if you own a computer or install devices. I went through all the questions InstantCert offers--95% of which I didn't know the answers to and then I took 2 practice tests offered on the Peterson's site. As I said, I took the test and passed--just barely but hey, it's pass or fail! Thanks everybody, now I'm tackling Intro to Business.

I've got the US History II CLEP test on 10/2 and then I'll be done with my undergraduate degree! I was foolishly going to try and take I & II on the same day, but changed my mind after some feedback on this forum. I have to say, I don't think taking two CLEP tests in the same day is a good idea. The US History I test was hard enough, I can't imagine taking both of them in the same day.
