  newbie question
Posted by: rdegrand - 08-06-2007, 02:30 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (2)

I'm interested in taking the IS and computer applications test. The test on this site is given as fill-in-the-blank. Is this the same as the CLEP ? I thought all of the tests were multiple choice.

thx

  Stats and Algebra??
Posted by: cookderosa - 08-06-2007, 12:44 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (1)

Opinions please- Does a person need to have a good grasp of Algebra in order to pass the stats exam? And, if a person does not have a good grasp of Algebra, would it be better to work through that first? Thanks!!

  Cost Comparison TESC Excelsior BSBA GM
Posted by: hsing - 08-06-2007, 12:49 AM - Forum: [ARCHIVE] Excelsior, Thomas Edison, and Charter Oak Specific Discussion - Replies (15)

I am trying to make a final decision on enrollment for BSBA General Management between TESC and Exelsior. Will some of you vets please look over this comparison and see if I am overlooking anything? THANKS!

TESC:
Application Fee: $75.00
Tuition: $2,300.00
Technology Services Fee: $97.00
Graduation Fee: $225.00
Total: $2,697.00

Excelsior:
Application Fee: $75.00
Tuition: $895.00
Technology Services Fee: $440.00
Graduation Fee: $495.00
Total: $1,905.00

Pros/Cons:
*TESC requires Pre-Calculus while Excelsior only requires College Algebra
* Excelsior requires Written English Requirement (LSU - $230)
* Excelsior requires Information Literacy ($290)
* TESC accepts FEMA (15+) directly while Excelsior will bank for $400

So, for me, in this degree plan, it seems pretty much a wash with TESC having a slight monetary advantage, albeit a stiffer math requirement.

Your comments, please?

  Course plan help -EC
Posted by: mjstewie - 08-05-2007, 09:54 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (7)

Hello,
I've just applied to EC for the BS/IT-General degree. I'd like to begin testing right away and postpone enrollment as long as possible($). To that end, I'm trying to develop a testing-road-map based on my "unofficial" evaluation. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm still getting my head around the system. Below is my eval; I'm bringing to the table several brick&mortar credits and an 2003 MCSE. Any advice on where I go from here with clep/dsst/ece/gre?

  Finding for a Single Variable
Posted by: mstcrow5429 - 08-05-2007, 08:39 PM - Forum: What does this Flashcard mean or Do this math problem for me - Replies (11)

If I'm finding X, and I have -1/2x + 3 = 1, I multiply each side by 2/1. However, if I have 1/2x + 3 = 1, I multiply each side by 2/1, not -2/1, correct? I think I'm missing a basic connection here. Thanks.

There is nothing (study guides, except Jacks out of print book) for this exam. Has anyone taking this in the last few years and what did you use? I searched the site and very few posts about this exam. Yes it is a requirement for me to take.

  CLEP Financial Accounting
Posted by: never2late - 08-04-2007, 08:59 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (13)

Has anyone taken this test yet?

I was scheduled to take the CLEP Principles of Accounting before it was retired and was in an accident and missed the deadline (double drats). So here I am ready to take Clep Financial Accounting so I can take a B&M class for Managerial Accounting. I have to have taken this test before 8/15 to be able to enroll in Managerial Accounting, so I have been on pins and needles waiting to see some feedback on this test. Any input would be helpful. This was going to be my first CLEP because I have experience with accounting, but I am nervous as a cat because if I don't pass, then I get to take a class for this too.

If no one has attempted, I guess I will be the guinee pig hilarious . I will provide feedback and hopeful a passing score :eek: .
