Well all ..after failing the clep in college math...I now have to find a 3 credit math to take asap..and it must be easy, as I have demonstrated a very noticeable lack of current math ability beyond the basics..and I project the dsst astronomy course as my science. So Iam open to ideas and insights as I need to get 3 math and science courses done quickly and inexpensively. Help y'all ..please! Ron:o

(Warning. Mom bragging about kids could be terribly boring.)

Just got the call from my son-in-law that he sat his journeyman electrician test this afternoon and PASSED! I am so proud of him. He has been studying every night after work for many month's now. We all know what that's like. Now that he has accomplished this and has proved to himself that he can teach himself I am going to try and talk him into going for his BA by exams also. I need to wait a couple of weeks though. Pretty sure he doesnt' want to even think about studying for awhile. hilarious

And my other son just received Guardsman of the Quarter at his air force base. Right on!

Pretty great kids.

So does anyone else have some great kids?!

One course , that's all after passing 27 cleps and dantes tests...and then graduation. But alas, that one course after being out of the classroom for 30 years proved to be a huge stumbling block!! College math is a curse not a course. If you are a math whiz at simple math great...but, as I suspected the only thing simple about this test ..was me!!! For those of you coming out of high school or recent algebra classes who know an equation from an equator, you'll do fine.But, my equation was an equator and I ended up in the south pole!! There are alot of challenges in life ...Iam ,was , and forever will be challenged by upper level math. Yet, I promise, come hell or high water, That I will find a way to get my liberal arts degree from T.E.S.C. six credits that can be either 3 math and 3 science aren't going to stop me.

Regards ... from a determined graduate to be..somehow..someway!!

Anyone in Spring, TX take Dantes test? My testing center doesn't give dantes and I will have to search for a testing center. What website can I go to to find a testing center nearby?

Finally!!!

Also got an A in both courses, A- on both finals...Still can't believe it, but I'm not arguing.

ShotoJuku, happy birthday.

Ok, 2 more exams and I will be a college grad! One problem: they are the two TECEP exams, Business Policy and Operations Management. I can't seem to find any study material anywhere. I checked both bain4weeks and 123college and there sure isn't much to find. I bought Strategic Management by Wheelen (old edition but info is info, right?). The website has a lot of info but no summaries. I know the instructors manual does have summaries and sample test questions to practice but I am not a teacher, so I can't buy that manual.

I am even considering Istudysmart, but can't stand to spend the money. On top of it, I am a crammer, work best on my last 3 days before a test, not on 4 months of preparation. Any ideas????

Thanks,

Christa

Hello everyone!

I just recently enrolled in Excelsior's BS Marketing program and was wondering if I could (and should) use an old & ancient college Algebra class to satisfy the math requirement. My first problem is this class was graded a "D" and wasn't sure if the advisors would want to include this class towards credit. My other problem is that having taken the class way back then, I'm not so confident today I could tackle the CLEP Algebra exam even if I prepared for it. What are your thoughts and opinons about my problem?

Thanks much in advance,

Hi All,

It is almost one year to the day since I took my first nervous step on this journey. Now, one year later, I have taken 40 exams, earned 133 credits, and am 30 credits shy of earning two degrees.

I thought I would take a moment to reflect on all the exams I have taken over the last year of my life. It has been a year of laughter and tears for me, but I am proud of all that I have accomplished in such a short time.

It is my hope that the following list will serve as not only a celebration of a year in my life, but as an encouragement to others, and an incentive to reach for the stars. It can be done!

One Year of My Life!

Thank you to ALL my friends who have walked with me along the way. You have inspired me greatly, encouraged me often, advised me regularly, and taught me much.

I'm not quite finished yet! But the end is in sight, and I will value your continued support and encouragement in this next year, just as I valued it in the last.

May all your dreams come true, and all your stars be reached!

Your friend and classmate,
Snazzlefrag (Rob)

I just took and passed the Ethics in America DSST. I scheduled the test Monday and took it Thursday. I really didn’t study very much. I went through each of the 8 instacert tests once or twice. I probably spent 6 or 7 hours total preparing. The test was the new online format and I got my results instantly. I did have one hang up, my pc locked up with 3 minutes to go. When they rebooted it my time had expired, good thing I was totally finished before then. I was surprised by the number of essay based scenarios. The test was 111 questions and i think 85% was scenario based. There were about 10 different scenarios that were repeated. Every scenario based question had Yes/No answers. Maybe 15 questions were multiple choice and were based on the founding principals. My score was a 54 a 43 was required to pass. Two more classes to complete and I walk in December!
