For the sake of comparison, I'm about to take the ECE exam Psychology of Adulthood and Aging using only Instacert. I've studied for about 3 hours so far and estimate that I will study another 6-8 hours before taking the test early next week. I will post the results as soon as i have them.

I've been trying to ascertain whether or not this will consistently produce a passing score. Already took DSST Civil War and studied EXTENSIVELY for many months using supplemental info as well. Scored very well but simply need a pass on my remaining exams. Took USSR the other day just using Instacert and Rudman and about 3 weeks study so I'll know around Xmas on that one and pass it on...

Taken
DSST Civil War (63)
DSST USSR (waiting)
Upcoming
ECE Psych of aging
ECE Geronotology
ECE Ab Psych
DSST: Drug & Alcohol

Then....DONE!!

I "applied" at Excelsior around the first week of November and had all my transcipts sent to them...I guess they are really backed up or something--still waiting on that eval, I even called them a week ago to ask some questions and they said they were almost done.

How long did they take for you?

Well folks, I'm signing over and out. Just took my last, Money and Banking, yesterday and that's it. Next step is to put in my graduation application at TESC and I will soon be the proud owner of a BSBA...finally!!

To everyone still on their journey, keep going, you can do it. I wish you all the best of luck in the future.

Merry Christmas!!

Thanks for the upgrades, Steve! Haven't played with all the new tabs/links, etc. but it looks like they are going to be a big help in being able to find good information quickly in this ever-growing, wonderful resource. Appreciate that you are being so on top of it.

Hello everyone,
I need to fufill Excelsior's english requirement and am totally confused about which exam would be best for me.
I am not a native english speaker and so i would like to opt for the easiest one of the 3: TECEP,ECE English Comp with Essay,ECE College Writing.
For the TECEP the biggest problem for me is that it is pass/fail.I have recd some enginnering credits(38.50) recently and because of those my GPA has fallen to 2.6 i have B's and C's in almost all those exams...
I do think i could do well on the College Writing exam because it has 3 essays and nothing else but i am worried about the topics.I heard one person had a topic on global warming and if was in his place i would'nt know what to writeMy general knowledge is not bad and i can write an average essay(i think)....but only on topics that i know a lot about:o
The ECE English Comp exam- I ahve heard a lot of negatives about this one..that it's too lengthy,challenging,etc...
I think i will do alright in the multiple choice section of this one and then there is just one essay with options.Also i believe the multiple choice questions could save me (i can get some right and guess on others)if i write a bad essay.
I need to take a decision soon because i need to register in order to take the exam in Jan.Please help me:confused:

Does anyone know of a test that is considered an upper division finance class? I am one short of my degree, and I really dont want to sit through another finance class

Just passed Human Growth and Development this morning! I got a 63, and thought the test was pretty easy and straightforward - although I did find that there was some information on the exam that was not on IC. I only studied for 10-12 hours for this one, so the lack of info on IC wasn't a problem obviously, but just so everybody knows.

And I passed (with my girlfriend) Ethics in America on the 30th of November with a 66. It was easy and straightforward as well, so I would recommend either of these exams as average to easy, and say that IC is enough for both of them.

My study schedule is: read through the IC cards and take notes on everything. Then I read back through each section twice in a row. That's working for me for these middle of the road tests.

17 classes to go!

Fellow Psych Wanabees,
To further hone our not-so-razor-sharp knowledge on this subject matter, I thought I'd go out on the web and see what I quizzes I could dig up; this is what I came up with. From what I saw, most of it is very applicable to the study guide. Enjoy and good luck, Lee

Research Methods is now up and available. As always, please provide feedback after taking the test--I think the developers did a great job, but what we design in the laboratory doesn't always have as much external validity as we'd like!

I plan to take Heres to Your Health soon. Based on the posts IC alone should do the trick.

Then I would like to take the DSSTs Organizational Behavior and Foundations of Education. Should I get the DSST study guides for each of these in additional to IC?

Also, I do not need any more upper level credits (all my upper level are in my art program since I am an art major) I have read posts on D & AA, and I am wondering if it is worth it. Same feeling about Macro and Microeconomics. Perhaps I should put my efforts into a different test. Perhaps Social Sciences...Any opinions?
