  Passed first CLEP!!!!!!
Posted by: Machelle - 01-20-2007, 01:10 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (6)

Hey everyone! I just had to share that I passed HG&D with a 62!!! I was so scared that I failed it, because there were a lot of questions that I didn't recognize. What I did was marked the ones that required deeper thinking and came back to them later, and that seemed to work. I even had 26 minutes left to spare!!! I never would have had the courage to do this if it weren't for InstantCert and this great forum! I used mostly InstantCert for my study materials, but also used Petersons. I now officially have 60 credits under my belt! Big Grin

Just had to share! Next is Educational Psychology (if it is approved by my college).

  NYU - German test is done
Posted by: kckusek - 01-19-2007, 08:17 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (5)

Hello,
just a quick update, that I did the 16 credit German test from NYU today and my recommendation is, if you are not bilingual, don't do it.

There were no multible choise questions in this test.
The first section was listening to a silly text and answering 5 questions. (EASY). The second and third was a translation from German to English and from English to German. This was VERY hard. The text chosen for the German English translation had componants with cultural differences about the school system which (at least in my opinion) are not directly translatable:confused: . Getting a Bachelor in German is different and the school system in Germany in general is different. So translating this into English was really hard.
The second translation was about travelers from the 18th century. Your really need to have your vocablulary togetherCool .
The last was a 350 word essay about money spent on outer space...:eek: .

If you have the choise, go with the CLEP 12 credit, as this is a multible choise test, so even if you don't know the answer, you at least can guess. (not really possible with translations).

Keep your fingers crossed for me, and I keep my fingers crossed for youWink ,

Good luck,

Kckusek

  ECE Social Psychology Study and Quiz Links
Posted by: Basket Weaver - 01-18-2007, 11:57 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (5)

I am in the midst of studying for my last test, ECE's Social Psychology. I've seen that there are several people interested in this test, and that Steve has it on the list of future IC guides, so I'd thought I'd post some great web sites that offer flash cards, Power Point presentations, varieties of quizzes, and a ton of Social Psychology text book chapter reviews; basically a crammer's dream come true.

Hope someone else out there can use the info contained. I know I always like to take practice quizzes to test my knowledge of a subject. Enjoy! Lee

  Add another college grad to the list!
Posted by: upgradelately - 01-18-2007, 09:00 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (5)

Took my last CLEP last night - Human Growth and Development and passed with a 65! I used IC, the CLEP official study guide, as well as the passyourclass.com study guide. I studied all of these for a week.

Be sure to study Piaget, Erickson, language development, parenting types, habituation, semantics, superego, etc....

Now I just have to wait for my scores to get to U of P so I can apply for my degree. How long does this usually take?

Thanks IC!

  Choice between DSST Soviet Union & ECE Gerontology
Posted by: sky_light - 01-18-2007, 06:41 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (7)

Hi everyone!

If you had a choice between these two U/L exams, which one would you pick/avoid as far as difficulty is concerned? I am trying to prep for a "less difficult" U/L exam and it's down to these two mind bogglers (uggh).

Thank you much!

  Any advice on a book for Environment and Humanity Dantes?
Posted by: dgreenes - 01-17-2007, 06:30 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (1)

I looked online and found a 1993 edition of the recommended book [I]Living in the Environment[I] for $1.99. Anyone know if this old edition is worth buying and studying from? In addition to ic of course. Thanx in advance. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

  ECE Microbiology
Posted by: semosoldier - 01-17-2007, 09:02 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (2)

Has anyone taken the ECE Microbiology? It appears as though it has a 61% success rate, that seems pretty high.

I've gotten two microbiology text books that I'm reading through and I work in a TMC so I've been OJT in the lab to get experience with gram stains and just a better understanding of what I'm reading.

Does anyone have any experience with the test, level of difficulty, things you wish you studied more, that kind of stuff?

Thanks,
Justin
