I took sociology today and I can't believe I passed. I was so nervous but that feeling was unbelievable. I feel like I am on my way and I have to give it all to this forum. You guys are so inspiring. Thank You!!!

Hi Everyone!!
I am in the process right now of studying for my first test, which is the Western Civilization I. I have found a bunch of useful information from previous posts but I was wondering if anyone could give me some helpful advise about using IC. Looking at how many flashcards (about 400) there are for Western Civ I, how does one learn all of that information?
I am also using a book that I got from passyourclass.com, which seems to be helpful but I am kind of worried that not all of the information I need is contained in that booklet. Has anyone taken the Western Civ I test by only studying with the passyourclass book?
I am also planning on taking World Religions if anyone has any good advise about that test too.

Thank you all for your help, I really appreciate it!

Just thought I would let the board know that I passed the CLEP exam, Introduction to Educational Psychology with a 69!! The exam was more difficult than I anticipated, but I passed.

I would advise you take Human Growth and Development prior to Educational Psychology ( great deal of overlap with these two exams) and use the REA books for these two exams.

This makes 5 CLEP's I have taken and passed in 9 weeks. Now I am ready for some upper-level DANTES, TESC, and ECE exams.

Most report that there is a ton of questions on the Stalin and Lenin eras. Has anybody used the sparknotes on these guys for the USSR exam?:

SparkNotes: Joseph Stalin
SparkNotes: Vladimir Lenin

Of course there is also the Russian Revolution sparknotes:
SparkNotes: The Russian Revolution (1917–1918)

Is there anyone who is attending or planning to attend tesc for a Bachelors in Business? if so, what are you taking to satisfy your upper level requirements? I am still waiting for them to get back to me, but I would like to get a head start in the meantime. Any advice or direction you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance.

I have decided to take the Excelsior Ethics exam and wanted to know if anyone has taken this exam and could offer some advice on study materials. I plan on using IC and the Harper Collins guide for College Ethics.

Also, I believe the exam is multiple choice. Does anyone know how many questions there are for this exam?

Hi everybody,

This thread will really help new students, as well as those looking to boost their GPA, if everybody participates.

Criteria:
1) Must have only used IC to prepare
2) Must have scored at least a 60.
3) There is one exception. Please include pass grades on the 6 credit general exams like college math, humanities, etc., if you passed them using IC exclusively.

Here are mine. Scores of 60+ using only IC.

Drug and Alcohol Abuse 60
Here's to Your Helath 64
Criminal Justice 60
Fundamentals of Counseling 63
Managemnt Information Systems 63
Principles of Management 70

Hello,
I was going to enroll at Excelsior and cant seem to confirm if they are Title IV or not. I am not sure if my job will pay if they are not. Anyone know about this? Also if you are a UPS employee did they pay for Excelsior?
Thanks

I have about 30 or so FEMA exams complete, which I planned to credit bank at TESC. I'd like to take the English Comp w/ Essay CLEP exam and add that to the credit bank as well...

Question is, will TESC convert the CLEP exam to English 101 and 102? So that if the transcript was then sent to Excelsior, they will accept as is (and satisfy the WER) or would they force me to do the ECE English Comp exam...

My Background on the issue:
I've applied to COSC so they can review my "collage" of college credit earned when I was in the Marines (also attended several Navy and Air Force schools), the numerous IT certifications and even a few programming courses... The FEMA exams were done to cover CEUs for my membership with the American College of Forensic Examiners (I do computer security and forensics on the side, not the way cool CSI stuff you see on tv , although I'd be open to the Criminal Justice track)

But after finding this forum, I'm a bit perplexed on what to do. I know I need the CLEP core tests, but am waiting eagerly to hear back from COSC on what my first degree can be in the shortest amount of time. Any comments would be appreciated...
