Just got back from taking Intro to Business Law. I scored a 58. I am suprised at this one. I was not feeling confident at all going in. I had gone through the IC stuff a couple of times and had taken two of the Petersons tests. I got a 60 on one and a 40 on the other about 2 hours before the test. I felt the test was alot easier than the Peterson tests I took. Also, there was alot more about international law than what was presented on IC. In the end all that matters is I have passed.

I plan on taking Intro to World Religions next. I was thinking art but there is no material on IC for it so I guess I will wait on that one. Anyone with any suggestions or comments on World Religions would be appreciated.

I was reading a post a few down that got me thinking.

What courses are good to pair up when studying? Some one in a earlier post mentioned there was a thread outlining a good strategy for pairing tests. such as DSST intro to computing then take info computer systems CLEP.

Anyone care to posts their strategy or what tests share similar info etc?

Thanks

Hi everybody!

I just wanted to say that I have officially completed one sememster of college! Though it actually took me longer than one semester to do, I saved TREMENDOUSLY in time spent studying or in classes, and had more time to do other things that interest me. It also isn't much and I still have many more to go, but, most kids like me that are still in High School don't have more than just a couple credits (if any).

This path to earning a Bachelors degree is in my opinion SO much better than the traditional way. Even if it still takes me 4 years, during that 4 years I will have much more time to do other things I am interested in, and doing it all from home!

BTW, I love this forum and the IC flashcards! I was having some trouble studying from huge text books and trying to figure out what was actually going to be on the test. Now, I won't have that problem any more, and I think it will help to speed up the process!

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?
