Grrrr!

Just a little rant. :mad:

I went to my local university to take DSST Drug and Alcohol Abuse and it never happened. I was nervous, but I felt I knew the IC very well and was ready to take it. Unfortunately, they had a new proctor that couldn't figure out how to log me in. My first clue was the cheat sheet she was using. Then she didn't ask me which college to send the score to (she gave me a blank look when I asked to send it to Excelsior, code 9370). She sent me into the computer lab twice, but the screens were set up for completely different tests, not even close to DSST. I even tried logging into them, thinking it was a new system, and of course they didn't have any of my information. She insisted that I must have forgotten my ID and password and gets another girl to help her, but neither can figure out the problem. They tried to create a new user name for me and that failed. This goes on for 45 minutes and then she finally tells me there is nothing she can do for me. She again insisted that I forgot my ID and password, so I left. I was already tired from working all day and was only getting more tense from the situation anyway. I wondered if maybe I really had forgotten my password and ID in my cramming haste.

I got home and went to the DSST site to figure out what went wrong. It turns out that of my info was correct! I logged right in, no problems. The proctor had no clue what she was doing.

So! If anyone else gets a clueless proctor that tries to log you into the wrong site, give them this address:

Prometric Online Testing

Maybe I wasn't meant to take the test today for some reason. It's probably a good thing, since she didn't get a chance to screw up sending my score as well! At any rate, the other proctor should be back Monday, so Monday it will be.

I am taking this exam tomorrow. I have done the Peterson's practice exams, and the exams with the REA book. Hope it goes as well as everyone else has.

Did anybody get a copy of this? Apparently Snazz has disappeared.

I took the College Algebra today and passed with a 55!! That takes care of my precalculus requirement. I studied using the REA College Algebra book and I used a text book entitled, Introductory and Intermediate Algebra: A combined aproach. I think if you study that text, anyone will pass. I studied for approximately 5 weeks and put in a total of 45-55 hours, but it was worth it!

On the exam, I found there were simply polynomial problems, some problems on inverse functions, some questions on composite functions such as f(g(x)), and only two questions on line equations, finding the slope of a line.

There were multiple questions on graphs, specifically being able to pick out the graph of a function, and there were two or three problems that gave you various equations and you had to select the correct equation that matches the graph.

There were a few problems with logarithms and only 3 fill in the blank answers. That is all I can remember right now!

I am scheduled to take the Ethics in America exam this Saturday. I found this website last week and it has definitely helped me become a lot more prepared. I would have never studied half the stuff that is available on this site. I have never been a very good test taker and am never confident going into an exam but I feel a lot more prepared and hope that I can pass this thing the first time. If anyone has any tips to share that would be great.

Well...here goes nothing. I've scheduled my Statistics exam for Monday evening (6/18). I think I should be ready, but this exam does freak me out. I'm still trying to figger out the Stats functions on my BAII-Plus calculator. :eek:

Hi,

I am new here and planning to advance my education for BS degree in I.T.
I earned an AS degree from a Vocational school accredited by ACICS.

I called the following schools and here is what i found out.

Excelisor Not accept ACICS
Charter Oak Not accept ACICS
Belleuve Accept any AS degree transfer
Dervy Accept ACICS degree transfer

Can anyone advice me which other RA schools will accept my AS degree (ACICS) credit transfer?

Thanks

I know there hasn't been a lot of threads for this test. I just took it today, and I got a 50 out of 94. You need a 46 to pass. I used IC, Wikipedia, and general web searches. I found that the test asked a lot of questions about what the primary activities for the State Board of Education and the local boards and stuff like that. Also there were questions about how teachers were paid and what teachers goals in teaching were in the 70's -90's. I didn't think IC really talked about stuff like that so you will want to research that with other sources. I passed, but I was sweating it and really felt it coul've gone either way. Good luck.

Hey guys!

I'm going to be taking the Business Law 1 CLEP and I was looking for some input as to what I should expect to find on the test. I've been studying a little from the IC flashcards but it seems like so much material to absorb ....

Is there any guide out there that can break down things for me? Such as... the most important points to know for the test? I'm not necessarily concerned with getting a high grade, just a passing one! Any input will be appreciated!

I found this online somewhere.... would this be a good guide to follow? Would you say that provided that i study the terms/knows the material on this guide I should pass?

^ it's a pdf page.. couldn't think of another way to post it.

I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks


(I tried to look thru the board before posting and couldn't really find any other posts about this but if i'm wrong feel free to delete it or link me to the right place. thanks)

For those that follow politics, I have learned from an official with the Fred Thompson "campaign" that Thompson is almost certain to announce his candidacy on June 28th, at The Wayfarer Convention Center in Bedford, NH.
