Hello Guys,
I am so excited to have a forum like this available and so much help from everyone on the board. I always said i would finish my degree and wouldn't break the bank doing it. I am preparing to take my first 2 cleps next week and wanted to know your thoughts. Do you think i would be okay taking english 2 and sociology together? I am pretty good at english, its the essay part i am worried about, i haven't written an essay in years. Any advice would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance guys!!

Hi all..just got back from taking the online DSST Ethics and I passed with a 68IC was all I used and all that I feel is needed, I studied for approx 20-25 hrs.

Utilitarianism is BIG on the exam...and those dreaded YES/NO questions :eek: My suggestions are the following:


Know:
Kant
Hobbes
Aristotle, Socrates and Plato....I found these to be quite confusing
Most definitely all the different utilitarianisms
Locke
Epicurus
Epictetus

Instant Cert has it all and is wonderful....on that note I am bidding IC adieu as the remainder of my courses are all Nursing, only 3 to go...Thank you all for all of your help and support....keep on keepin on....hilarious

Hi,

I'm currently working on my BA/BS and want to enroll soon to Excelsior.
I already wrote my Master thesis with UoP (got an A).

Does anybody have experiance what I would need to do so Excelsior counts this course towards the WER?

(The unofficial evaluation which I got back today, did not count it towards the WER. )

Hope somebody has a hint for me, because I don't want to write the ECE Exam for English:eek: .

THANKS,

I have gone through the flashcards from IC and luckily, a majority of the information provided on IC seems pretty fimiliar since I have already taken several finance classes, economic classes, and CLEPs. I will continue to review the information and pay for the DSST test that their website offers.

My question is, once you pay for the test off of the DSST website, can you print them out, or are they only online like the Peterson's test?

Any other tips and suggestions on this test would be appreciated. I have searched through the forum and found a couple of post that give some insight to the test.

Just wanted to let the community know I passed Human Growth and Development with a 68!! I studied for about 4 days, roughly 20 to 25 hours. A number of the questions seemed to come directly from IC. It was funny the number I answered that matched the IC flashcards. This was my 4th CLEP in 9 weeks. College is fun!!

Helpful hint: Get the REA: Human Growth and Development book and go through the IC flashcards and you will do fine.

Hello All,

This forum has been of extreme value in my effort to get my diploma. As a lurker I have found the advice offered to be thoroughly accurate and prudent. Therefore I've decided to break my silence and come forward with a question.

I recently discovered that I'm shy three credits of graduation. All I need to do is to fulfill a computer proficiency elective. I noticed that DSST offers an exam titled, Introduction to Computing. Unfortunately InstantCert does not offer flash cards for this exam. They do however offer assistance with the CLEP and DSST for exams pertaining to Information Systems and Computer Applications. My questions are:

1. Has anyone taken any of the above mentioned exams, and if so how would they describe the level of difficulty for each? My knowledge of computers is about the equivalent of the average office worker.

2. Would anyone recommend preparing for the CLEP or DSST in Information Systems and Computer Applications in lieu of Introduction to Computing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jason :confused:

Ok I'm new here I wanted to say hello and could anyone that has taken sociology help me with a few questions.I am doing my classses through college-net and excelsor for nursing. Is the study material I have from college-net enough to pass the test.I have read so many post that other people used other books etc. If I need other books please let me know I have been studying for 3 weeks now just from the net and college-net book.Anyone with info would be a lot of help ......Thanks Summer..

G'day All,

Well I am scheduled to sit the Principles of Management and the Principles of Statistics tomorrow and feel well and truly under prepared for both. It seems that getting the Principles of Statistics through this thick skull of mine has been a major chore leaving no time to devote to the Principles of Management at all. Anyway, I have committed to sitting these tests tomorrow and I will report back, pass or fail, on how I go.

The purpose of this post is because while considering my lack of preparation at work today I did a quick search of the net and found a couple of links others may find of use. The first link leads to a series of PowerPoint presentations addressing the Principles of Management (which I am reading through now), the second is a link that seems to have some useful information in regard to business studies (unfortunately too much for me to get through tonight) and the third is a Statistics link. I did a search of the forum and didn’t find reference to these links so if they do appear elsewhere I apologize. I do hope someone can find some useful information from these links.

I am taking (maybe ) Principles of Management on Wednesday. I am scared of taking another test because I failed two in a row (US History I and II). I have taken two of the Petersons tests and got 65% and 66%. On the College Board test I got 59% on the first half. When I went to take the second half, I got 23 questions into it and only had 7 correct!!! I don't know what the deal was. I also feel like I know the IC material well and am using the Comex along with it. Any tips or encouragement would be GREATLY appreciated!

I only need 50% to pass.

Hi I was wondering if anyone has taking this one and can provide feedback.
Thanks,
Adoncia
