I'm getting ready for the U.S. History I CLEP test... And I'm wondering, is the stuff on here good enough to enable me to pass? Or should I study some other material, too?

Hi all,

I am currently studying for the Precalculus exam and, from what I understand, it is a brand new test. I can't seem to find any information on the exam other than what's on the College Board's web site.

I have a feeling that I am going to fail this one, and so I am wondering if anyone knows of a good independent study Precalculus course (3 cr.) I have seen many great posts regarding an excellent speech course from BYU (self-study, no exams, only $390) and I was hoping to find a similar course that satisfies my Precalculus requirement.

Thanks.

Hello everyone.

I took my Human Growth and Development CLEP yesterday and scored a 64. So, I'll give you all some feedback; in case you are interested in this CLEP.

But first, a little background:

I have been taking one CLEP a week for the past 3 weeks. I took Intro to Sociology, Intro to Psychology, and yesterday I took Human Growth and Development. This week I had car problems and I had to work on my car, so I only studied the night before and the morning of the exam... about 5 hours.

Intro to Psychology was ESPECIALLY helpful toward helping me with HG&D; more so than Sociology. There was a lot of overlap.

I am not allowed to tell you what is on the test, but a college level HG&D class would expect you to know about:
Erikson's 8 stages (be able to recognize an incorrect stage,
Kohlberg's stages of moral development (Level I, II, and III),
Maslow's heirarchy of needs,
Paiget's 4 stages of cognitive development (do not take this one lightly, it's really important to understand)
If you come across a man whose name starts with a B... (Is it Bromley??? I can't remember) Know what theories he came up with. (I'm not thinking of Bandura).
Who has a theory on infant-mother attachment?... and what role does post-natal bonding have on the baby's future?
Know the different styles of parenting (Authoritarian, Authoritative, etc...),
What is a zygote, embryo, fetus, etc?
What are the chances of passing down a trait if one parent carries a gene for it?... or if both carry it? (understand the percentages).
What part of the brain is the least developed at birth?
What's a holophrase?..syntax, semantics, phoneme... (language terminology)
What does a STAT test measure?

Anyway, these vague topics should be helpful if you are taking a Final Exam in your HG&D class... (or wherever)

Good luck.

Does anyone know the difference between situation and market analysis in Prin. of Marketing?

Thanks!

Could someone please give me the code for EC to use on Dantes Exams


Thanks ALL

For weeks I pumped my brain to full capacity for the social sciences and history exam. I arrived today (ready to burst) only to find the server was down. I hung out for an hour, but it became too late to start. Besides, it still wasn't up.:mad:

Well....I am certainly sure that by the time I can get over and take this test (2 weeks from now!!!!!!) that I won't remember a thing. Well, ok, that's exagerating- but really- I was ready TODAY, not in two weeks.

So, my dilemma, should I
a) Start to study for my next test and then just quick review this one a day or so before the exam?
b) Continue to study for this exam- there is more I could work on world history/western civ.

:confused:

I passed DSST MIS today with a 61 after intensive study for only two weeks. I wish I could give everyone advice on the exam but I remember none of the questions. This is the first exam in which I remember nothing..LOL. I was under the weather to start and then had to go in-and-out of the testing room because of technical problems, so my mind was not focused on trying to remember specific questions.

I would say the IC flashcards are all you need to pass but you need to know them forwards and back. I think it may be difficult to pass if you only went through the flashcards once or twice.

Yesterday, I took am gov. and got a 55. I think I would have gotten better but I had an emergency come up and had to hurry up on the last 20 questions or so. So far I have been a member of IC for 2 weeks and have passed 2 tests using pretty much only IC. Tomorrow I plan on taking A&I literature, I have looked over the tests at petersons and I did alright, but I am going to give it a shot anyway. As far as the gov test went. I studied IC for about 5 days and could get about a 90% or so on them and then I took the petersons and got a 49, 46, and 65, but it didnt matter because I passed the test. If anyone is thinking of taking this I suggest it. IC is probably enough, I will say though, that the petersons test are about twice as hard. Thanks to everyone for the feedback on other posts for me to research, a lot of great teamwork here.
later,

Hi,

My husband is interested in finishing his BS via testing. I've been looking at different degree requirements for each of the Big Three, and it looks like COSC might be the best fit for him since he has 117 credits and has already completed most of their General Ed requirements.

I've also read that an Individualized Studies concentration requires 18 upper level credits-- no problem there. But all of his upper level credits are engineering related applied professional credits. I know that Excelsior requires at least 21 upper level credits in liberal arts for their Liberal Studies degrees. Does anyone know if COSC requires any number of upper level liberal arts credits for their Individualized Studies program? I'd call them, but it's already late on that side of the country and I'm a keystroke away from sending his application :o

[edit] Also, does COSC accept "D" letter grades from traditional classes in transfer?

I had this question on 4tests.com. Can anyone explain it? Thanks!
