Hey, I found this cool product that has outlines and practice tests for books including Statistics,Sociology, Biology, Chemistry, Research Methods. Math, Anthropology, Pathophysiology, History, Psychology and Poly Sci. and more. For $9.95 a course, it's a great addition to Instacert. No waiting for books to arrive. You pay the fee for the subject/book you want to use and they send you a password. I think there's a monthly membership where you access more than one book at time.

Let's face it, sometimes we need a little extra to ace that exam. Cool!

  Graded CLEPs - Excelsior
Posted by: ridin8ude - 07-03-2007, 02:56 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (5)

I downloaded the latest Excelsior business catalog and student guide today.

I noticed that alot of the CLEPS which were given grades last year, are no longer graded. e.g. macro/micro economics and american lit.

Since I've enrolled last year, while the old policy was in effect, would I still get grades for these or would they now just be pass/fail?

I've already taken the econ tests (and received grades for them), but wanted to use the american lit as a GPA booster...

  DSST Only Allows 4 Function Calculators
Posted by: mstcrow5429 - 07-03-2007, 09:43 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (22)

I just got off the phone with Ms. McCormick of the DSST program. She stated that only 4-function calculators are allowed, and anything more capable than that would break the "non-programmable" rule. I was surprised, so I specifically asked, "Are only 4 function calculators allowed?" She verified that this was the case. Has anyone else directly contacted the DSST program (877–471–9860)? Do you get the same answer? Obviously, a lot of people could get in very big trouble if this holds up.

  Help using BAII Calculator
Posted by: PCCLEP - 07-03-2007, 07:26 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - No Replies

Anyone know how to use the BAII calculator to solve these two problems? I've figured out how to solve the other problems with the BAII, but these "equal annual problems" I can not figure out which buttons to use.

Thanks for the help.


Question 26 of 35
A man borrows twenty-seven thousand dollars for a new car and will repay the loan in equal annual payments over the next 10 years. The interest rate on the loan is 7%. How much is each end of the year payment? Finance Tables


$3,428.93
$2,889.00
$3,844.19
$4,213.78

Detailed Explanation:
$3,844.19.

3844.19257 = 27000/[(1/.07) - (1/(.07(1.07^10)))]

Annual Fixed Payments = Present Value/[(1/interest rate) - (1/(interest rate((1+interest rate)^number of years)))]


Question 27 of 35
A woman wins a sweepstakes giving away two hundred fifty thousand dollars. She has two options for receiving the money; she can either take twenty five thousand dollars a year for ten years, or she can get the present value of two hundred fifty thousand dollars in ten years, now. If she chooses the first option, with a discount rate of 11%, what is the present value of twenty five thousand dollars a year for ten years? Finance Tables


$42,450.36
$153,412.54
$220,000.00
$147,230.80

Detailed Explanation:
$147,230.80.

147,230.80 = 25000[(1/.11) - (1/(.11(1.11^10)))]

Present Value = Annual Fixed Payments[(1/interest rate) - (1/(interest rate((1+interest rate)^number of years)))]

I'm bummed...I hoped one question of the 400 I knew would be recognizeable...
