Okay, trying to keep it quiet as to not jinx myself, I intended on taking my first CLEP exam today (Analyzing and Interpreting Eng Lit). So, I am all prepared, I look over the Petersons tests that I have taken and am feeling pretty good about taking this test.

I called the test center at 9:00AM and got the recording telling me the hours of the center. Open Monday BLAH BLAH BLAH, on Saturday 8:30AM to 1:00PM.

I drive 45 minutes to get to the center, leaving myself plenty of time, just in case anything might happen, (flat, wreck on highway, spilled coffee - hilarious this is my usual thing to do when I am in a hurry). So I get to the center.

:mad: There is a sign on the door, [SIZE="5"]Closed - Will reopen Monday at 7:30AM[/SIZE].

I could just scream. Now I am going to have to take 2 tests on Monday, just to make up for the aggravation of driving over there today.

Wish me luck!

Of my IC sections that I have went through, I am getting about 70% correct on each section. THIS IS MY FIRST EXAM USING ONLY IC, so I want to know what most of you look for in regard to your accuracy before you test to feel comfortable that you'll pass? :confused: 80%? 100%?

I was wondering if it was difficult for anyone else to find time slots to schedule Excelsior College Exams at their Pearson Testing Center? Mine has been especially difficult for me this month. There are maybe four apointments open per week, nearly all at 8AM near the end of the week while I'm working. I schedule my appointments usually a month or more in advance, and the calendars are still booked up. I look ahead two, three months in advance and see the same pattern. I have rescheduled two appointments in the past and noticed that the old appointments did not open back up on the online calendar. And one more odd thing I noticed: there are usually 3-4 open computers every time I test, even if the calendar shows it booked. What gives? :confused:

Has anyone taken this exam? It's 6 UL Credits.

Thanks,

I know that there is a calculator built into the College Algebra test, but if you download the CLEP tutorial it has one calculator while the REA computer test has another. Which one should I practice with?

Hi, I am new to this type of test-taking. This may be a dumb question, but do the cut scores mean the percentage grade you received on the test or the number of correct answers? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this.

Took this test today and feel confident that I passed. I used IC and the free Peterson's pdf to study. I feel that these two resources combined really prepared me for the exam. I have already completed Org Behavior and Labor Relations so I walked in with some knowledge and background. Some questions are common sense.

Know what the 4/5 rule is (which I didn't)
Railway Act
Mediators vs Arbitrators
Know the different evaluation methods inside and out
Delphi technique

These two links are primarily for military personnel, BUT the listings are free for anyone to access. Keep in mind that tuition rates may vary for civilians. Still, many may find these useful. Some may find it difficult to read the format of the information at first. It took me a bit to get used to. Once you figure out what is where, the important points are conveyed pretty quickly for each listing.

DANTES Independent Study Catalog:

http://www.dantescatalogs.com/DISC/DISCNav.asp

This is an extremely large list of self-study college courses. The topics range from basic general education to graduate-level engineering courses. I'd list all of the topics, but it really would take up way to much space. Again, the actual prices listed are meant for military. The price for non-military may vary (then again it may not). All of these courses are offered through regionally accredited college.


DANTES External Degree Catalog:

http://www.dantescatalogs.com/DEDC/DEDCNav.asp

Degrees offered entirely online. Tuition rates listed are for military, so tuition may be higher for civilians. In any event, there is a wide variety of degree programs offered. Degrees are offered on all levels: Associate, Bachelor's, Master's, and even Doctoral. All of these colleges are regionally accredited.


DANTES Nationally Accredited Distance Learning Programs:

Similar to the External Degree Catalog, save that all the institutions listed here are nationally accredited, as opposed to regional.

Hope someone finds this useful.

For those of us enrolled at EC, Information Literacy is a 1 credit Requirement and I think EC is quite pricey for 1 credit.

I just confirmed and have approval from my Advisor at EC, that Penn Foster ENG 103 Information Literacy (1 Credit) will satisfy EC's information Literacy.

The Goodness is that it Cost $75 for all the expenses, shipping included

I called Maribeth at Penn Foster and registered immediately.

Hopefully this will help those who wanting to save a few dollars
