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 |

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 |

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 |
|

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)))]
