  College Algebra
Posted by: adnerbe - 02-18-2007, 08:30 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (2)

Hi,

I just recieved my REA for Algebra. Chapter 1 was Greek to me which means I am in trouble. Last Math class was in high school 25 some years ago. I also will need to CLEP out of Chemistry (don't laugh =)
I obviously will need additional resources and am looking for sugestions.

Thanks for your time.

  Question regarding DSST exam
Posted by: ssnelsen - 02-18-2007, 12:11 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (11)

I've been studying for the Here's To Your Health test, I'm taking it on Monday (I was scheduled to take it today... but things didn't work out) anyway. I've been doing really well with the flashcards. I'm just wondering how technical the test wording is. I am getting almost all the flashcard answers correct, just problems with spelling and not the right word formation i.e. independant vs independance or dependant vs dependancy. Is this going to be a problem? Thanks for any input!

  Barely Passed MIS today! Feedback.
Posted by: adoncia - 02-17-2007, 06:47 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (10)

Hi everyone,
I barely passed with a 49 in MIS today.I am happy i passed because i found this subject very very difficult to study.
What i remember from the exam:
89 Questions.
Specific and general questions were:
Difference between asynchonous and synchronous systems.
How many bytes are there in one kilobyte (1000 is the right answer i think)
A question that asked about RISC another one about CISC
Components of CPU
1 question about optical fibre.
Who is responsible for making a data flow diagram (options were analyst,database administrator,programmer and one more)
Who was responsible for inventing storage program (i don't recall the names except for Bill Gates,I had no idea what this question was about)
Which system became popular in 80's and 90's (options were TPS,MIS,Strategic and Expert Systems)
Which system depends on other systems for information
A question about how entropy can be minimized
what is a database (the definition)
What is a record
Which is the smallest unit in databases (answer is Bit)
There were about half a dozen questions about Prototyping.
One question about RAD
One question about JAD
Many questions about the different Information Systems..like DSS,ESS and many about MIS.
One question about transmission protocol
One question about Fair Information Policies
One question about Intellectual Property Rights (about copyright,trademarketc )

Know all of Instantcert really well and that should be sufficient to pass.I found this subject too boring and difficult so i did not work as hard as i should have.
The last 6 sections of IC are particularly important.
Also read the flashcards on Informations Systems and Computer Applications as there were several questions that required basic knowledge.I did not read those and i think that hurt.
I hope i have been of some help.This is all that i could recall after trying really hard:o (did'nt have a pen..so made my hubby remember half the stuff on the drive back home hilarious )
I will post more if i recall anything else.

  pre-calculus or calculus
Posted by: bluetooth - 02-16-2007, 03:37 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (6)

Is it safe to assume that pre-calculus is easier than calculus in terms of the CLEP? I have sufficiently forgotten any of this material long ago and honestly can't remember the differences between the two.

Hello everyone,

This is my first post on this forum! Previously I've been on degreeinfo for a few years now! I haven't been able to post on the site and I can't seem to get incontact with anyone who can fix it! Onward & Upward! I think this forum will provide more exam/prep/material/what to study! Please take a look at my signature line and provide me with insight to the exams I have left! Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

  Analyzing and Interpreting Literature
Posted by: scherrd - 02-15-2007, 09:50 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (7)

I would like to echo some of the statements about this test being quite easy. I read about it on here on Monday this week, and decided to try this exam. I completed the three free practice tests on guidnace net with scores of 72, 72, and 76. I took the test this evening and scored a 72. I looks like the practice tests were quite accurate in showing the level of understanding of the material.

Anyone that needs a quick humanities test, this was a good one for me.

  Organizational Behavior????
Posted by: iwannapass - 02-15-2007, 07:56 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (3)

I have been looking over the notes for this exam, and maybe its just me, but it seems pretty common sense info if you have been out in the workforce a long time. I haven't been able to devote as much study time with the amount of stuff going on, but I was wondering if you guys thought I could still pull this off tomorrow or monday? You can tell me if I am in over my head. Thanks!!

  Bombed College Math CLEP
Posted by: beasdon - 02-15-2007, 04:38 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (8)

:confused: Well yesterday I took the College Math CLEP (6hrs). It has been a while, but I am pretty good a Algebra and I used IC and another website Free University Project - CLEP General Exam in Mathematics which I thought was also awesome to help brush up on new material and the stuff I struggle with. The test I tooked was very tough and was not what I expected. It was probably 65% probability, statistics, pre-calc, functions and truth tables... and just a broad mixture of geometry and algebra on the other 35%.. I ended up getting a 41 on the test and needed a 50 to pass... so close yet so far away... not sure what I am going to do to meet that math credit.

I saw a lot of threads talking about success stories so wanted to post this one. I just want to hear if anyone else has had the same problem and what they did to improve or if they got their math credit some other way.

This was my first CLEP and wished I would have picked a easier subject to start off on the right foot. Any thoughts:eek:
