Hello everyone,

I plan on taking DSST Business Law 2 soon and am trying to find additional info on this exam. I have seen a couple of threads on this test and Barron's Business Law is recommended, but based on the dsst fact sheet I can only find half of the info I would need. Is there anything else I can use for this test (have already done clep bus law test).

Cannot find much on this test, please help!

P.S.
Would the DSST practice tests help or like many of the other ones would it be a waste of time.

Thanks,
Mike

I took the principles of marketing clep and was able to get a 72. I was curious if anyone has also taken the prin. of management clep and if so, were there any similarities on the test? Or did you happen to find one harder than the other? I used REA book/CD on the marketing as well as the IC study area. I am going to be doing the same for POM. But I noticed that the REA book for management is about 2x as thick as the marketing one. Anyone with experience on both tests out there? Your opinion would be very valuable.

Thanks,

Mudrigg.

Aggh, I'm so fuzzy on this. This is a problem from the CLEP practice test. I'm putting parenthesis around things that are exponents, since there's no way to denote them:


If 8(x) = 15 and 8(y) = 25, then 8(2x +y) = ??????

I can't for the life of me remember how to work this problem and digging through my old math books shed no light. Any ideas?

This is a bit outside the CLEP/DSST realm, but I passed my PMI PMP certification today. It's a monster test, and supposedly quite difficult.

So now I am officially recognized as a practicing Project Management Professional + I get 3 upper level credits towards my BGB at Excelsior + I can get credit for 3 courses if I apply to Aspen's MBA in PM.

SWEET!

Info about the test:
200 questions - 4 hours to complete - and it's certainly a level above DSST/CLEP in difficulty
You must be able to demonstrate actual PM experience to be eligible to sit for the exams, the requirements are quite stringent
61% is the pass threshold, but it is only pass/fail - I scored a 74% and finished in 2 hours, but it still gave me a headache... (and I do real life PM!)

If anyone is interested in pursuing this, I can give alot of feedback
My employer put me through a 4k USD exam cram course last week provided by Cheetah, it definitely works!

Hi all!

I searched but did not find a thread on UPPER LEVEL ACCOUNTING (particularly as it applies to Excelsior College).

I satisfied my lower level in communitiy college (Principles of Accounting I & II). This leaves me with a lot of upper level stuff such as:

• Intermediate Accounting I
  
• Intermediate Accounting II
  
• Cost Accounting
  
• Taxation (US Tax)
  
• Electives
  

Aspen University is offering $1500.00 in tuition assistance between now and August 15th. This is if you pay your tuition in full. This brings the cost of a degree to $3000.00 not counting books and materials. Please note they are nationally accredited, not regionally.

I've applied to their MBA program. Hope this info may be of assistance to others on the board.

Me and my husband have been going through a lot since he has been away. I realized I was a military wife. Very sad but true. Besides the fact that accounting burned me out, I have been trying to relax and that's not something I know how to do. I also started reading novels. Forgot what that felt like and how much I missed it. I have read like 5 books in the last three weeks. Either way, I am gearing up to hit the books again. Congratulations to everyone who hasn't stopped moving. Keep up the good work!!

Has anyone with a large number of CLEP/DANTES credits been refused admission into any of the big three because you were too young? Are any of the three easier to work with if you are younger than traditional age?

Thanks,
Mark

Hi All, just took the Here's to Your Health test. I read my college network notes & went over the IC info once and passed with 66 in about 35 minutes. As others have said this is a lot of common sense, with a few terms and data you should understand.
