I hope someone can explain to my how the hell I failed this test this morning. When I say FAILED I mean FAILED- I did not get over 50% on any of the three sections.

I don't recall exactly what each three sections read (print out is in my car), but I got like %30, 49% and 47%. Most of the questions were common sense. I probably would have scored better if I just arbitrarily guessed at each question.

I checked the Military pass rate on this exam and it was like 89%.

I used Instacert and the DSST Prep guide, but there were no questions on the exam that was not covered in this material.

Nonetheless, what is the retake procedure for ECE Exams. Do I have to wait 6 months like the CLEP?

I went into the money and banking test today petrified. I did a petersons practice tests and got only 40 percent correct. I read all the threads on this test and was totally scared.
This test was not nearly as hard for me as its made out to be. There were quite a few reasons and I will try to explain so others can benefit.
1) I did macro, micro, finance and accounting before this test. Many questions were based on info from those previous courses!!!!!!!!
2) I knew all the instancert material very well!!!
3)The same as 1

I am a big talker now when I really dont know my score, however I firmly believe that this is a very very doable test if you understand the concepts. I will tell you guys in a few weeks what happens- good luck everyone. This is the first peterson test I paid for and I felt it was a total waste. The questions were 50% harder then the actuall test and almost all the info was totally unrelevant to the test. Good luck everyone.

I'm a student at Empire State College, and I've just been told by somebody on the degree planning committee that they may not allow me full credit for some combinations of CLEP tests. Example: the claim is that since the CLEP Social Science and History test is 17% US history, then I should not get credit for the overlap with US History 1. So, the committee may decide to deduct a credit due to the overlap. The same thing with my CLEP College Math and the ECE Statistics. CLEP contains 25% statistics, so they may deduct that, too

I will not make a difference because I have way too many lower level credits, but it does seem petty. Is this normal? Has anybody heard of this occurring at ESC or another college? Do some schools get annoyed if you have allot of CLEP or other tests?

Just curious.

PS, I just passed the ECE test in Org Behavior today.

I am having some trouble on the second part of the study guide the part with the misplaced modifier, pronoun error ect. any suggestions on what else to do to understand this part so I don't fail!!:confused:

I hope this info can help someone in ic land. I am going for a business major at Thomas Edison. For the business major you need 3 business requirements, and this also pertains to anyone else who has business requirements. There is a test business math that I have not seen people post much about. Just to tell everyone, that I am looking over the material and it is like 5th grade stuff. Most of the material is from basic and I mean basic statistics and probability. But I am taking about real easy material. So I decided to make this post, since I have not seen any other threads about this test. Dont get scared of B/c of the MATH, its really basic stuff.

I am taking this exam in exactly one month. Any pointers and suggestions. I was originally slated to take the CLEP Intro, but my university will not take that as a credit in my Degree program. Any help would be greatly appreciated hilarious

Just curious if anyone knows if Ed phychology is counted as applied pro at Excelsior? I need 1 more Clep for all LL and I know Intro phy would satisfy it but would rather take Intro Ed phy. (I can't take intro Ed if its applied pro)
I know its better to check with Excelsior first but I get a responce back much faster from you guys. (Still waiting on Excelsior from other queries since Friday)

Thanks.

I am preparing for the Civil War exam. I am scheduled to take the exam on 8/30. I have been mainly using IC and the Rudman Book. They don't seem to cover the same material. Can anyone who has taken the exam advise me on whether to focus my time on IC or the Rudman book. I am ultimately trying to study both equally, but am scheduled to take this test next week, and would like to focus most of my study time on the more valuable of the two. I have to allocate my time wisely, as I am also taking a seated class, an online class, and working full-time.

Thanks in advance...

Does anyone have any tricks to remember the statistics formulas? I keep getting the formulas mixed up. From what I read the exam writers do mean things like use the wrong formulas to get the incorrect answers on the exam.

Additionally do I need to remember the tables or will they provide them during the exam? I've read a bunch of posts but I'm still a little foggy on the issue.

Anyone else having trouble getting into the Peterson test pages?
