Hello all,

Here is a poem I thought I would share with you. It was written by an Irishman, Thomas Osborne Davis. It has a stirring lesson for us in America if we wish to be "the nation once again" that stands for freedom.

Hi everyone.

I just rejoined this site after taking some time away from taking tests. The last tests I took were about a year ago and I had the results sent to Excelsior, even though I'm not yet enrolled there. I was wondering... how long does Excelsior keep my results on file? I remember reading it was about a year ago at one point but I can't recall for certain. And what do I have to do if they aren't currently on file anymore? I was taking the CLEPs... do I just have to have my results send back to Excelsior again? Hopefully, I didn't lose the credit, I don't think that I did, but I'm not certain.

Glad to be back in the test game!

Hey, I'm planning on taking the English composition CLEP test pretty soon. I'm wondering what length of an essay they want to see. And if you have taken the test, if you have any helpful advice that would be appreciated as well.

i know that people say that the Standard Deviants videos are a good source of some info and i have to take the biology test on Thursday, so its to late to buy them but i was wondering if this is the actually video?

If this is not the correct video, does anyone know where it can be downloaded and watched?

Thanks
Ted

Hoorah!!!!

I am just back hilarious from the ECE World Population Exam and got a B grade. I would have got an A but for some silly mistakes.

I followed the tips given by everyone and I studied only from Thursday evening to Monday and took the exam on Tuesday morning.

The method I adopted was as under:

- went through ECE in Instantcert and made notes as I read through
- went through the Powerpoint slides for the textbook (Intro to Concepts and Issues by John Weeks)
- went through the prb bulletins (population handbook)
- morning of the exam - reviewed notes from Instantcert

The questions that I got on the exam predominantly related to overview of world population, fertility, mortality, demographic perspectives and population issues.

The key things to remember are:
- gain a good understanding of the overview of world population
- remember the different ways of calculating the various mortality and fertility rates
- understand the relationship between fertility and mortality on the increase/decrease in population
- read about China and India and their contribution to world population in terms of number and percentage
- read about the impact of migration in the US
- be sure to go through the case studies on the future of population (that is where I lost out).

Hope this will help anyone who is going to take the exam.

Regards and all the best.

I passed intro to psych with a 63 and info systems with a 62 today! My only study was with IC. Still waiting on results for personal finance DSST. A & I Lit tomorrow afternoon.

It's been about 3 weeks now and on their website they said that they received the transcripts from the two colleges that I also have credit with. How long did it take everyone else?

Hello again, Just wondering... I took a bunch of college classes way way back - like right out of high school, and of courese at that time I did not want to be in the classroom, so I did not do well. Now I want to do well. Do you think that if I just repeat the ones I need for the degree I want, that would help show a change in attitude? and help me get into the program I want? (only need to repeat about 5). Or should I just work on the other pre-req's and hope the school realizes that I have changed? Hope I made sense...

For anyone that has taken or is planning on taking the "CLEP: College Algebra" exam, has anyone used "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Algebra," and if so, was it useful or not? Thanks.

Hey everyone:

My advisor has suggested I test out of one of these classes since I am an early childhood education major. She thinks that since we may have to deal with child abuse issues in our field, one of these classes would be more beneficial than Principles of Supervision.

For those who have taken them, which would you suggest is the eaiser of the two.

Thanks,

Carol
