I know some people on the board have used the Excelsior practice exams for Ethics and Organizational Behavior. I am going to use them as well. I know you get 2 practice exams for $60, but is it limited to the number of times you can take the exam, or is it unlimited?

I took what I was hoping to be the last exam required before completing my degree. I failed CLEP Precalculus today with a 46. I did well on the first section I think --- it was the last one that consumed me.

I studied really hard, but I was not prepared for the Trigonometry onslaught --- it's pervasive on this exam.

I wanted to be finished. I told myself that I would graduate in June. That won't happen though. September it is. Oh, well. (lost another loan to ditech!)

I should have saved the easy stuff for last --- I registered for the class at TESC for the April term.

All one can do is face failure head-on (apply directly to where it hurts!) and move on.

Does anyone have any experience with the Business Law CLEP exam? What study materials did you use?

I am going to take it on Wednesday morning. Enjoy law and government (hope to go to law school) and have done over 60 hours of real estate instruction in contracts, land law, employment law, etc. I am hoping this will give me an edge(?).

Any tips?

Hi,

THis is a great forum!

I just got my eval back from Excelsior College for a BS in General Business. It states among other requirements, that I need to earn:
29 arts/science electives
I also have to fulfill the English and Organziation Behavior requirements which I'm asusming can contribute to the arts/science electives.
So this would leave me with 23 more to go and 9 of them have to be in social sciences.

My question is...would anyone know if FEMA credits can be used towards arts/science credit requirements?
Otherwise, I will have to test out of 7-8 courses

Advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Andy

I plan on taking my first DSST soon. I think i might like the computer version better because i have heard you get your score on the spot rather than waiting. Is this true?

Which method do you prefer?

Have you noticed or know of any differences when taking the computer version vs. the traditional version?

I successfully passed the Operations Management TECEP exam by using the Instantcert.com program exclusively. I was very comfortable with the multiple choice questions after working with your “fill in the blank” curriculum. I only wish you had been around years ago. I have taken 29 exams and your program is the best I have found.

I'm taking my first 2 clep exams next Friday. The subjects I'm taking them on is principles of management and introductory psychology. I'm going to cram hard for 7 days and hopefully pass both with flying colors. What do I need to do to successfully prepare myself to pass both tests?
Thanks

Hey I'm new to this forum but I've been using it for motivation for quite some time now! Anyway I just had to get this off of my chest because it's driving me insane! Today was by big day I actually took my first CLEP test (Biology) and although I was nervous I just wanted to see what I was capable of. So I go to the ed. center sit down at the computer and start by going through the tutorials and get through the first section of the test. I went back to question 2 to fix it and then I click Exit Section assuming it would fast forward to the next part saving me some time....and behold I exited the whole TEST:eek: I am so depressed this is just my luck and I'm pretty sure that this hasn't happened before....anyway I'm not going to let it get me down, my proctor is going to write a report and try to fix it but if not I'm going to be waiting six months...by then all of that studying will be out of my brain....sigh I'm ranting now I think I'll leave it alone. I just wanted to post this for any rookies like me...remember Section Exit = Test Exit! Be careful!

I took this test today. It followed very closely to the Fact Sheet provided by the dantes web site. I recognized at least 75% of the questions from IC. The rest were situation questions. They put you in the place of the counselor, and give you what would you do type questions.!
This test is very do-able using only IC.
Thanks for all the support.

Hello,

I have been a long time lurker in this forum. I have found so much valuabale information here that I figured I would add some of my own. I took both of the above tests within 2 weeks using Instacert only and with no background in LE. If you want 6 easy credits read on...

Intro to LE was much harder than Criminal Justice. Intro to LE demands a bunch of case law memorization and you better know your amendments (4,5,6,8,14). I would *definitely* review the Criminal Justice questions before you take this test. I felt unprepared because I did not review them only to find out next week that Criminal Justice had some of the answers. I scored a 59 on this test which is a pretty solid A. If you study the Criminal Justice cards you will be well into the 60s.

Criminal Justice was a much easier test. After taking intro to LE and reviewing the Instacert questions I only questioned 2-3 questions out of 90. You will see questions like:

Which crime in NOT a victimless crime:
a. gambling
b. prostitution
c. consuming illegal drugs
d. sodomy

I will update this thread when I get my results but I am certain of a 60+ score. Enjoy!
