  Peterson activation code
Posted by: LuBee - 08-11-2006, 12:44 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (2)

I tried to access the Peterson practice tests and the website had a registration form. So I filled that out and now it says I need an activation code. Anyone run into this?

  Share some "Short Cuts" that you know.
Posted by: X #911 - 08-11-2006, 12:58 AM - Forum: Off Topic - No Replies

sgloer Wrote:The "backspace" key as a shortcut has limited use because it typically won't work when your cursor is inside of a textbox.

From my experience, pressing "ALT+LEFT_ARROW" is the guaranteed way to go back on your browser regardless of what your cursor is doing.

So when I'm playing around with the test-engine, I don't like to take my hands off the keyboard either, so if I absolutely have to go back one screen, I'll use ALT+LEFT ARROW to go back, and then CTRL+R to refresh...

You can learn more than just info to take exams when you read a gazillion pages of posts. You can learn how to save yourself carpal tunnel surgery!!!

I am just learning some more short cuts that my husband printed off a short cut list. And these were not on my list.
Here is one: ALT + 155 is the ¢ Really like that one ALOT!!!!

Any other great ones? (Anyone) Thank you in advance!

  The Official DANTES Dance!
Posted by: Kiwi Lover - 08-10-2006, 06:38 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (4)

Hi everyone,

I thought y'all would enjoy the attached item. I think this should be the Official DANTES Dance once you receive your score and find out you PASSED! (Make sure you have your volume on.)

Enjoy! hilarious

  Updated Excelsior Exam Content Guides
Posted by: cederic824 - 08-10-2006, 05:57 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (1)

I just checked the Excelsior site, and the exam content guides have been updated. Most now quote chapter and verse for looking up objectives in the recommended texts. Very Nice. There is also a little time frame recommendation box to help you see how much time it should take.

  Got my Ethics in America Score, In just 7 weeks!
Posted by: Basket Weaver - 08-10-2006, 03:05 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (6)

Yes, my friends, in just seven short weeks (44 days), that's all! At least it was a pass, just barely... with a whopping 48!! I used the IC for this and the UL Ethics Theory and Practice (I got a B on this one... figure that one out). Still pressing on with studying for World Pop, sure would be nice if there was more IC guides for the ECEs (hint hint). I have 4 more test results out there somewhere but God only knows how long those will take. It seems this process would be faster with all the technology we have available to us. Oh well, gotta get back to studying. Lee

  Fundamentals of Counseling
Posted by: Criticalthinker - 08-10-2006, 02:12 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (15)

I searched this, and saw that a few had taken it.
At this point, I'm planning on taking it tomorrow with Here's to your health.

They will be my first Dsst exams.

I took a practice exam this morning for Fundamentals, and it scared me to death. I scored 31 out of 50 and there was so much about theorists on it, as well as specific statistics regarding suicide, alcohol.

I'm not sure about this aspect either....I copied and pasted my answers on a word document, because I wasn't sure I could access my test score and answers again on the site the same way I do with practice Cleps.

Any new thoughts on this exam in general?

Also how do the getcollegecredit.com Peterson's practice tests compare to the real thing? There were only 50 questions. I would have to pay another 19.95 get another version of the test. Ack! I can take the one I took this morning again.

I thought I would be fine with this exam, because I have some counseling background, as well as an interest in the subject, plus have taken a lot of social science courses. I'm just not sure what to think. Feeling pretty jittery about it...lots of other life stuff going on too.

Just yell at me or something, not sure what I need here. I may be "weirding out" as I reach the end of my testing out road. :confused:

  foiled terrorist plot?
Posted by: spazz - 08-10-2006, 10:48 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (26)

Luckily the Brits followed in Americas footsteps with a similar piece of legislation as the patriot act, or we would of potentially lost more lives today then in Pearl Harbor or September 11. What do you guys think about the foiled plot?

Since this is one fo the first Excelsior exams we've made materials specifically for, we're anxious to hear your feedback, so please keep us posted on your results!

Next Up should be Gerontology ECE

  Which English Comp to Take ?
Posted by: adrian - 08-09-2006, 09:40 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (2)

My college accepts either the Eng. Comp with essay and the one without. Which one is easier and other than the obvious what are the other differences ? Should I take the DANTES one or the CLEP ? Please share your experiences with me.

My other question is if I pass an exam but do not have the pre-req will my college still accepts it anyway ?

Thanks all.
