Questions on Paper |

Is there a way on IC that we can print out the flashcards so we have the info on paper? I'm at college and have a lot of dead hours and I was thinking that if I could take these with me than I could study without internet access while I'm waiting for classes.

You mentioned that you only studied for 2 weeks for the college math using the following:
InstantCert
CLEP Official Study Guide 18th Edition
Cracking the CLEP 4th edition
REA - CLEP General Exams with CD
1) Would you say that all of these resources were necessary to pass (50) or could you eliminate some of them?
2) How deep did you study each one?

For Those that Have Taken UL Psych Exams...Is IC Enough for A Grade??? |

1) From what I gather IC is adequate to score an A at Excelsior on the following. Would you all agree?:
Adulthood & Aging (combined with IC Gerontology material)
Research Methods (IC alone)
2) However, additional material may be needed to score an A on Gerontology (IC Adulthood & Aging material, IC Gerontolgy material, plus another supplement) and Abnormal Psych. It appears that a B may be more the norm for these two exams without additional material. Would those that have taken these agree?
3) For those that scored an A on Gerontology what other material did you use besides IC?

For All Those that Have Taken Stats...Is IC Enough to Pass??? |

I have already read the other posts regarding stats. Because this exam appears to provide quite a bit of anxiety for most I thought it would be a good idea to summarize what we have learned from the the other posts in this thread. What is the minimum needed to pass and the amount nedded to ace it.
1) Is IC (stats material and stats part of the clep material) adequate to pass stats, or is the Idiot's Guide to Stats neceassary for a pass?
2) If neceassary, how long does it take to go through the Idiot's guide for those that have? I noticed it was like 400 pages long.
3) It also appears that the Idiot's guide is far more useful then any of the other study guides (dummies guide, etc.). Would you all agree?
Like many here I have not taken a math class in close to 20 years and I was horrible at it then. However, I have to pass this thing for a Psych degree. One IC memeber scored a 75 using IC, the Idiot's Guide and a bunch of online videos (which I have neither the time or patience to watch). I would be happy with a score 20 points less (55)!!!

First DSST |

Hi all,
In December I took my first DSST - Here's to Your Health. I used IC only as study source. I received my passing grade in the mail less than two weeks later. Yeah!
In the beginning of January I took and passed the Thomas Edison TECEP Psychology of Women. My advisor at TESC recommended it. I found and used a website outline of a course by the same name as a study guide.
http://www.wsu.edu/psychology/2005/class...Review.pdf With all of the previous CLEP study I did in the Psych area I felt comfortable with this one right from the start.
Today I took the American Literature CLEP and easily passed. I used the information that forum contributors offered and used The Complete Idiot's Guide to American Literature. I also used the Peterson's Practice test and made their Q & As and the Idiot Guide into flashcards.
As is usually the case with me, I feel overwhelmed for a while then the information finally starts to crystallize and I feel ready to test.
Next week I am taking another TECEP that is necessary for my degree, Art History 2. This is one of those really broad but not deep areas like Humanities. With TECEPs you must get 60 out of 100 to pass.
I am so grateful for the all of you who have helped with your advice and support. I am hoping that I will have all of my credits by April by using CLEP and DSST testing. Without IC and this forum it would not be happening.

Excelsior Business |

I thought I would ask a question and see if anyone knows the answer. I was wondering if it is possible to receive two business degrees from Excelsior. For example, one in Human Resource Management and another in Accounting or Finance, etc.
I know you can get two degrees in different disciplines but not sure if you can actually get two business degrees in two distinct areas.
