Woooohoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My girlfriend Anna is done!! She took her last and final exam, DSST Criminal Justice, this past Thursday, and got by with a 52 (you needed a 48 to pass). I also took this exam, (I scored a 51 - whew!) and we both thought there was a fair amount of material on the exam, that wasn't on IC. But, we didn't study super hard for that exam, so I would still say IC is enough to pass.

After we took CJ, I went on to take Intro to Law Enforcement, and then Principles of Supervision. My brain was so toasted when I was done!! I wouldn't neccessarily recomend that many tests in one day, but if they're related, and you can stay focused that long, it is doable. IC was enough for Law Enforcement, but there still seemed to be a fair amount on the exam that IC didn't cover as well. And as has been noted before, CJ and Intro to LE do overlap, so that was part of why I attempted the 3 exams in one day.

Principles of Supervision was pretty easy - with very little study (2-3 hours?) I passed with a 55 (passing: 46)

So, Anna is done! And for me: I've 9 three SH exams to go (27 SH's) - 8 exams if I end up taking the Humanities CLEP which is 6 SH.

This forum and study material is worth it's weight in gold - thanks so much for all the help folks, it would have been tons more difficult without all of you!!!

Before enrolling in tesc, they are not very helpful with questions. I am trying to test before i enroll to save money. I want to find a list that tells you which cleps/dantes apply to which parts of the curriculum. I can only find the general requirements for the BSAST (using an aircraft mechanic's license for the area of study). Any ideas?

This is the only relevant link i could find. Thanks.

My friend just emailed me this link. It is a site linking to all sorts of free resources covering quite a range of topics. I haven't been able to really look through even a fraction of this. But for those interested:

Online Education Free

Pretty self explanatory question.

I have just my UL creds to go and I want to test out what is left, so I need some UL Dantes and ECE creds. and want to transfer them to TESC.

Has anyone used the Complete Idiot's Guide to Accounting. I've decided to knock this one out for my next CLEP, as it is the hardest one left on my list and was wondering if I should get this book?

I'm looking for something I can read while I'm at work and can't necessarily get access to the internet.

Also what about the Accounting Workbook for Dummies?

Hey everyone,

I plan on going with Excelsior, but I still want to take a couple classes online. I am in the military and was wondering if Excelsior accepts American Military University credits...I cannot wait until Monday to ask Excelsior, so I was wondering if anyone knew! Thanks for your help!~

Hey everyone,
Wanted some advice on additional materials, in addition to IC, to help with Management CLEP.
Thanks

Hey all!

How are you? ...Well, lets see I plan on taking this exam on Wednesday, and I looked up as many threads that pertained to this exam and could not find much. Does anyone have any tips on the test? I have been studying IC for almost a week now...like does anyone remember any particular areas or questions that caught them off guard? Thanks for all your help!

I thought I was closer to 30 credits to finish...but unfortunately I have about 52 credits to fulfill. I am going for Liberal Studies in BS. I have not yet enrolled and was thinking about doing option 2...any advice? Option 1 = obligated to take 3 classes with Excelsior or Option 2 = paying a fee of 875$...is that a one time thing, and can you pay later? -OR- Do you have to pay right when you enroll? I am not sure if I want to major in Psychology or not...I want to get this done in less than a year...I just want a Bachelor's because I want to hurry and start my Master's right after...any advice would help! Thanks!!!
