Hello friends,

Just got back a few hours ago from sitting this one. Whew. With a 3 1/2 hour drive each way to take these it makes for a full day. :eek:

The center I go to is still pencil and paper so I won't know how I really did for awhile. It has been taking 19 to 21 days to receive my scores. I'll let you know when it comes.

I felt really good about this one going in and still do. Used IC, looking up some unfamiliar terms at Wikipedia, read three chapters of a textbook that came this weekend and took some practice quizzes at Drugs, Society, and Human Behavior

There were more questions regarding the uses of stimulants and hallucinogens than I expected. Thought the focus might be more on recognizing them by their different generic names as well as street names.

Besides the obvious things to know concerning alcohol, like BACs, or how much alcohol is in a glass of wine, know the stages of detoxification really well. I had three different questions approaching detox from different angles.

Know the classifications and schedules I-V and why the main ones are where they are. Know the differences between withdrawal symptoms for the different classifications.

I think that IC is really all I would have needed to pass this. The supplements have hopefully helped to get a better than passing score though.

Does Excelsior have letter grades for Dantes exams or just pass fail like the Cleps?

Got my unofficial eval from Excelsior. I need more credits. Some I know how to get...these are the ones Im not sure about...

-"managerial finance or financial management" (DSST Principles of finance?)

-ethics - (DSST Ethics in america?)

-business policy

-production/operations management

-information literacy (ive heard there may be a cheaper alternative to taking this through excelsior)

-and also "at least 12 credits of advanced level business electives"

Please help with recommendations on what tests I can take to knock these out.

THANK YOU!!!

GRE Psychology Subject Exam-30 credits

I'm hoping scoring an 80 or above on the GRE Psych Subject Exam will fulfill the major as well as grant the U/L credits needed to graduate.

My goal for completion on all exams is Nov. 2007.

I need to take both art and intro to world religions. I would like to knock one out next friday. Would anybody be able to suggest which is the easier exam and have any information regarding either?

I just completed my AAS in nursing with excelsior college. I am wanting to continue with my BSN. They won't guide me until I have my RN license. I was wondering if any of you knew what Cleps I could be doing towards my BSN while waiting. I took Analysis and Interpertation of Literature Clep last week and passed. That was my first Clep. I liked the format and less questions. Help if you can! Thanks, Amy

I have recently passed 4 Dantes (Ethics, Drugs/Alcohol, Tech Writing, Law Enf), and only need 1 more class to finally graduate, ART OF THE WESTERN WORLD.

I am seeking any advice and/or study materials to help me pass this test.....has anyone taken this test and if so, what do I need to study???

All recommendations are greatly appreciated!!!

I studied and studied for the DSST Here's to Your Health for weeks and yet I failed it during examination time. Even the proctors said that test was easy and no one had ever fail it over at their center. Well anyways, I sat down.. answered all the questions and found out that I failed miserably. Wasn't even close to 48. :eek:

Well anyways I was scheduled to take 2 DSSTs yesterday and man was I discouraged after taking the first one. I was saying to myself, "How the hell am I going to pass the 2nd DSST" which was Intro to Computing which I have not studied at all for. Well I swiftly answered all the questions in 45 mins and did not even wanted to review the answers as I was already mad at myself for bombing the first one... I hit NEXT to see my grade and I got a 58. lol

So a FAIL and a PASS on the same day :eek:
