hello! i thought i was done taking clep exams for extra credits towards my degree but unfortunately my advisor misinformed me and now i'm stuck in a predicament =( so i'm back having to take a couple more exams...

i actually have a question about the "intro to world religions" DSST exam. i've read in other topics that it's moderately hard. for those who have taken it and thought it wasn't easy, what made it "difficult"? was it the amt of content covered or was the content itself complicated? i might need to take this exam after i get some sort of an approval from my school.

and for intro to computing, is the dsst exam easier than the clep exam? i remotely remember that snippet of info from the last time i was studying for clep exams.

also, for the business majors out there, is there any type of clep or dsst exam that fulfills a business communications requirement?

ugh, it's so annoying when advisors get things wrong and screw up the students...kinda ironic really. but yeah, thanks in advance!

I hope this isn't a silly question, but how is it possible that through transferring credit from a previous college, and clepping everything else, one can graduate from a university such as excelsior or tesc? Do I basically pay the enrollment fee, have my stuff transcripted, and pay the graduation fee? Or do I have to take one of their tests or a certain amount of classes? That's the part I can't seem to figure out.

ooops I mean "Psych"......

Hey guys,
I have taken Psychology, Sociology, H G & D, and Intro to Ed Psych. What do you think I should take next while I'm in the psych frame of mind, that will piggyback what I have already learned? I am doing liberal studies from tesc. Thanks!!

I noticed a few people on this forum as well as another mentioned that you took "intro to computing" DSST and used IC.

I noticed there is no course for this on IC. What course are you referring too?

Are there any other courses on IC that prepare you for exams with a different title?

Thanks

Any tips are appreciated about Excelsior 300 UL exams.

The school I need to get into requires Four 300 Upper level exams to be passed.

Which subjects would take least amount of time to prepare to take exams?


Thanks.

I recently bought a copy of Pass Your Class for Social Science and History. My wife read through it and noted the following observations in a letter back to Pass Your Class:

To Whom It May Concern:

I recently came across your course material for “Social Sciences and History.” I picked it up thinking I would be able to have a quick read and learn some things along the way. I was sorely disappointed. The material is riddled with incorrect grammar, no style guide usage, numerous mistakes, and uncalled for political commentary.

While I don’t generally review my reading material for editing purposes, I found that I could not help but reach for a pen to correct mistakes. I am appalled to know that this shoddy material has been published in an effort to teach students how to pass a Social Sciences class. I became incensed at reading error after error, and finally ended up throwing the book across the room when I reached the end of the American History section.

I only hope the “Social Sciences & History” package will be recalled until it can be rewritten. Morally, I urge you to refund anyone who purchased this - they gave you hard earned money for this low quality, inadequately written, and poorly edited study material - you owe them.

Sincerely,

T**** ******

I am looking to take money and banking in the next week or so does any body have some tips? Thanks.

There are likley a hundred questions like this on the site but can anyone quickly give me some advice on what CLEP exams are completely passable only using IC. I have never taken a CLEP. I have my first scheduled next week. I need 40 credit to finish my degree.

Thanks in advance!

I acheived my objective with Principles of Management and American Government after one week of imput! Alas, my output was not as stellar as I had hoped after being ill which affected my productivity. However, I made the grade with a 69 and 66, respectively.

Principles of Management - This exam is alot of common sense! I agree with the more experienced members of this form that IC is enough to pass! In a different turn, I didn't master IC on this one and mainly mastered the first two IC sections, but reviewed most of the questions-some only once. However, I did some indy study with Wikipedia on theories, theorists, and terms. Plus, reviewed the College Board practice exam, comparing answers to questions after taking the exam. Took two Peterson's and scored 76 and 70. My advice: make sure you know the material in IC solidly and you can't go wrong. At 19, no experience in "Corporate America" or Business Management (other than listening to my father who is a manager). I know mastering IC, as I did with Intro to Sociology, would have brought it up in the 70's.

American Government - This was the second exam I took today; My reasoning for the order was that I had more experience in this subject (after volunteering on staff of a state-wide campaign last year) and was scoring good on Peterson's tests 70 (after studying one IC section), 72 (after a little more IC study), and 75 (College Board book test). I felt shaky in my Management prep, so I focused my time there and hardly studied for Am Gov't, but did a little Wikipedia about beginning of the week. I took 1 hour in between tests to study up on Bill of Rights, Constitutional amendments, Dred Scott case, court cases (ie Marbury v Madison) at the community college library on Wikipedia. I felt very good taking the test and breezed through the first 50 questions and felt like I unquestioningly knew the answers to at least the first 65 questions. I was shocked at my score (less than Mgmt) as I just knew I scored in the 70's on American Governmet. I recommend knowing the things I mentioned, mastering IC, and taking the Official CLEP book test along with Peterson's and reveiwing the answers. This is not a hard test if you enjoy history and government, but I think mastery of IC would have brought my score up into the 70's (maybe helped me avoid some pitfalls). There were about 6-8 graphs and charts.

This is getting too long, but hopefully somebody can learn from this experience.

Hello everybody,

I'M DONE! hilarious
