  Organizational Behavior DSST, can someone help please with a cherry on top?
Posted by: dgreenes - 03-13-2007, 09:06 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (2)

I did a search on this but would greatly appreciate detailed feedback from someone who took it and remembers the names, concepts and theories they were tested on. I have found this type of feedback for other tests here and have found it quite helpful. Otherwise I'm sort of in the dark here, not sure if I should spend time memorizing all the names, theories and stages of e/t IC is supplying or not...

  ECE Exams: Who is taking them
Posted by: Casey1300 - 03-13-2007, 12:51 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (4)

Well I'm proud to say that I am pretty much done with my Lower Level Credits for my Bachelors of Science in Liberal Arts degree. I am pending a English and Math requirement.

I know there are a lot of Excelsior students on here, so I would like everyone to post if you are studying for ECE exams. I have a few links that I have researched that gives a little study advice. I am about to take 9 of these badboys and will post as I take them.

Please give back any advice if you have scored well (A or B) on any of these exams. Books used, how long of study, and grade would be really helpful.

  Intro to Business and Personal Finance
Posted by: scherrd - 03-12-2007, 08:29 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (2)

In a moment of weakness I decided to try and knock out two tests in one sitting.

Intro to Business: I took this test first. The only thing that I had done was go over the IC flash cards one time and then looked over parts of them once more. Total of about 4-5 hours. This was a CBT test so I didn't have to wait for results. There were 100 questions. It took me 30 minutes to complete, then another 10 to review questions. I counted 13 that I had no idea on. Passed with a 67. I wanted to do a brain dump, but I don't remember any of it.

Then...

Personal finance: Since there were no flashcards, I used the Peterson's test guide, scored 37 out of 60 on that and reviewed those areas that I did not know too much about. There were 98 questions on this test; it took me one hour to complete and another 10 minutes for review again. Scored a 65.

Here are some of the high points that I remember:

Know about risk
Be able to calculate interest over time. If you have financial calculator and know how to use it, it would really help.
Retirement plans and IRAs and Keogh, which are tax deductible, deferred, etc.
Bonds
Types of taxable and non-taxable income
Bankruptcy and Credit problems
Credit cards
Mortgages: PITI, escrow, qualifying
Stocks Tongue/E, EPS
Installment loans

That is all that I remember at this point. I hope this helps someone

  GRE Subject Exams
Posted by: Inteljustice - 03-12-2007, 05:50 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (4)

Since Excelsior and COSC both grant credits for the GRE Subject Exams, is this a viable option for obtaining a degree. For example if I took the psychology gre and passed with an 80% I'd have enough credits for that one exam to qualify as a psych major. And if I failed and still scored above 40% COSC would grant me anywhere from 18-24 credits. This sounds like a fairly simple idea for obtaining credits faster. Even though GRE subject exams are only administered 3 times a year for civilians.

  IC question
Posted by: mattie - 03-12-2007, 05:16 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (8)


I know this is going to sound silly, but what is the key to learning with IC.
I know to read the explanations, but how do I know if I've just memorized what answer goes where, or if I've really learned the info????
This is my first test using basically ONLY IC.. it's fundamentals of counseling. and i have 2 days left to study.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS

  Skills Certifications from Rutgers University
Posted by: MailDog - 03-12-2007, 03:37 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (29)

Hello,

I caught wind of this from another board and thought I'd pass it on. I actually completed three job certificates over the weekend! You actually pick a goal/job and take a certain # of cert tests to acquire a job skill certificate. But for each individual cert test you take, you are awarded a (sub) certificate leading up to your job skill certificate. Now there is a purchase needed for each cert test, and you can only acquire your score/certificate if you pass and purchase the cert test at the end (prices ranges from $25 to $50) for each cert test certificate. For those looking for certifications to add to a resume this is a really good deal. Again, let me say that these are job certifications and they have no academic value - but great material to add to the resume since they carry the Rutgers University name!

Good luck to everyone!

  social sciences and history/college math
Posted by: abby - 03-12-2007, 11:36 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (10)

[SIZE="3"]Hey everyone!Smile
I'm pretty new at this forum thing. But I've taken a bunch of tests for my degree and I didn't know if there was any insight on these next two. Tomorrow, actually, I'm taking social sciences and history. I've taken History I and II, sociology, psychology, economics, almost everything they say to study for it. But, I'm still nervous about passing it. Some say it's really hard. Some say it's a breeze. Any pointers?

I'm also studying for college math which is really not my thing. I'm learning, but I always have trouble applying the book learning to a test or other application. Anyone have any hints on that for me? I'd appreciate it. I have another week and a half or so for that[/SIZE]
.Cool
