I plan on taking my first DSST soon. I think i might like the computer version better because i have heard you get your score on the spot rather than waiting. Is this true?

Which method do you prefer?

Have you noticed or know of any differences when taking the computer version vs. the traditional version?

I successfully passed the Operations Management TECEP exam by using the Instantcert.com program exclusively. I was very comfortable with the multiple choice questions after working with your “fill in the blank” curriculum. I only wish you had been around years ago. I have taken 29 exams and your program is the best I have found.

I'm taking my first 2 clep exams next Friday. The subjects I'm taking them on is principles of management and introductory psychology. I'm going to cram hard for 7 days and hopefully pass both with flying colors. What do I need to do to successfully prepare myself to pass both tests?
Thanks

Hey I'm new to this forum but I've been using it for motivation for quite some time now! Anyway I just had to get this off of my chest because it's driving me insane! Today was by big day I actually took my first CLEP test (Biology) and although I was nervous I just wanted to see what I was capable of. So I go to the ed. center sit down at the computer and start by going through the tutorials and get through the first section of the test. I went back to question 2 to fix it and then I click Exit Section assuming it would fast forward to the next part saving me some time....and behold I exited the whole TEST:eek: I am so depressed this is just my luck and I'm pretty sure that this hasn't happened before....anyway I'm not going to let it get me down, my proctor is going to write a report and try to fix it but if not I'm going to be waiting six months...by then all of that studying will be out of my brain....sigh I'm ranting now I think I'll leave it alone. I just wanted to post this for any rookies like me...remember Section Exit = Test Exit! Be careful!

I took this test today. It followed very closely to the Fact Sheet provided by the dantes web site. I recognized at least 75% of the questions from IC. The rest were situation questions. They put you in the place of the counselor, and give you what would you do type questions.!
This test is very do-able using only IC.
Thanks for all the support.

Hello,

I have been a long time lurker in this forum. I have found so much valuabale information here that I figured I would add some of my own. I took both of the above tests within 2 weeks using Instacert only and with no background in LE. If you want 6 easy credits read on...

Intro to LE was much harder than Criminal Justice. Intro to LE demands a bunch of case law memorization and you better know your amendments (4,5,6,8,14). I would *definitely* review the Criminal Justice questions before you take this test. I felt unprepared because I did not review them only to find out next week that Criminal Justice had some of the answers. I scored a 59 on this test which is a pretty solid A. If you study the Criminal Justice cards you will be well into the 60s.

Criminal Justice was a much easier test. After taking intro to LE and reviewing the Instacert questions I only questioned 2-3 questions out of 90. You will see questions like:

Which crime in NOT a victimless crime:
a. gambling
b. prostitution
c. consuming illegal drugs
d. sodomy

I will update this thread when I get my results but I am certain of a 60+ score. Enjoy!

Can anyone share their experiences with TESC as compared to EXCELSIOR OR COSC?

Excelsior seem the most flexible so far but they are pain as far as getting information not being enrolled. they have evaluated my transcripts but don't seem to give me much more info other than that. i am having a problem because some of my schools were not regionally accredited at the time but now are.

I'm starting my study schedule for this test. I have heard many say that IC is all you need for this particular exam. I'm also an electronics technician so I know my way around computers. I believe this will help as well.

Still I'm debating if I should get the Rudman's guide to Management Infomation System. Has anyone else used this?

If so did it help, hurt, or was pretty useless?

Should I get the study guide? Any help would be appreciated.

I am planning to take CLEP French I and II

From what I have read it seems that only French II is worth 12 credits and that French I is worth maximum of 6. Does anyone know if this is correct?

I studied French for ten years but have not picked up a textbook in a decade. How much of the exam is conjugation and specifics of grammar? Or is it more simply supplying the correct word to fill in a blank or complete a sentence?

Is it more about for example, "j'ai" vs "je suis" type of questions?

Any help is appreciated.

just curious ...

which schools will not transfer in any f grades from a transcript ?hilarious
