Hey guys, I am in the military and I am looking to finish my bachelors degree or as close to it in the next 2 years that I am still in . I was looking at St Leo and Excelsior. Heres a question for all of you who have completed degrees at Excelsior, has anyone been accepted into a good masters program using a bachelors from Excelsior? I know you can get your degree rather quickly there but I have heard some things about this college such as the accreditation is not all that great. Thanks

I am reading through my material and I can not see what the difference in BALA as oppsed to the BSLA. Any one care to expalin.
What is the applied professional courses? Where can I find them?
Thanks in advance for the response.

So I didn't mention much about this on the board because I didn't want to jinx myself, but I set out yesterday to take the CLEP A&I and Psych tests and the DSST Principles of Supervision test. I was performing horribly on all the Psych sample tests--best score I got was 59. Took the real thing yesterday and got a 73. See Snazzlefrag's post for test content (where for art thou, Snazzlefrag?). The Peterson tests are WAY off on this one, but, using only IC, Petersons and CLEP sample tests and some Wikipedia I was obviously prepared and had no prior Psych experience other than passing the Sociology test.

Then I went to lunch and came back to tackle A&I Lit. There were some very tough passages in there and only a few questions with literary terms (alliteration was one of them). I really didn't know if I had done well enough to pass, so I was thrilled when a 61 popped up. The only study I did was take all the sample tests. Petersons were very helpful here. I passed all the samples I took on this one.

One more to go. Principles of Supervision had a few questions that came out of left field but otherwise was fine and I got a 67 using primarily the DSST study materials and a little IC--along with the Petersons tests.

As that test was winding down I started to think about asking to try another. I hadn't prepared for anything else, but hey--I was on a roll! I asked the proctor if I could take the Fundamentals of Counseling test--promising I would only take an hour. He agreed and off I went. This was the first test I took with absolutely zero preparation. I benefited from my psych study on about 10-12 questions and common sense helped too. By my rough calculation, I thought I had passed it by one point. I went over my answers one more time and hit the button.........

PASS! A 58! My lowest score so far, but still an A from Excelsior! That makes it...let's see... three plus six is nine...plus three is twelve...plus three is.................15 credits! A semester in a day! Wooooohooooo!!!!!!! This is livin'!

Anyway--just wanted to share. That was some kinda fun right there.

I'm currently studying for the DSST Intro to Computing and Here's to Your Health.

I guess my question is are they both worth 3 credits each or 1 credit? O_o

I had a few questions about some of the tests for the General Management degree.

1. How many of you think that it would be easier to take an online course for Principles of Finance, Money and Banking, Statistics, and Pre-calculus -- rather than do the CLEP/DANTE method? I 've heard how hard these tests are - and I'd just like to get them DONE rather than try to study forever.

2. Has anyone taken the TECEP Sales Management test? Do-able?

Thanks a ton for any advice!

Any tips? I'm working on trying to memorize all the flashcards in intro to psych on IC. I've read through a book on intro to psych as well. All I want to do is pass with 50 or higher. Any of you passed intro to psych using just IC? Is a lot of it common sense?
Thanks

I am about to start studying for Organized behavior, and I was wondering if anyone has any tips for this test. What materials did you use? About how long did you study? I plan on using InstantCert, plus I've got an college text book. Thanks!

Hi all,

On 3/22 I will be taking my first CLEP with Instant Cert, any tips? I will be going through all the questions. I also have the REA guide, but it bores me.

Thanks,

Scott

How did everyone prepare for it? I was hoping Instantcert would have material on it, but I couldn't find anything.

Has anyone heard of this? I heard it was an excellent film on realizing your inner strength and how your thoughts determine your future. Something along the lines of "Think and Grow Rich" and other great motivational speeches. I am very curious about it and wanted to know if anyone knows anything about this? Just Curious...
