Hi - I am Johanna, and new here. So much to learn . . .
What is a good review for the German CLEP?
Also, where would I find an exam for a language other than French, Spanish and German (ie. Dutch)?
Thanks, I am learning lots from reading your posts.

General Anthropology |

I just got back from taking the DSST general anthropology exam - this is the 7th DSST exam I have taken (I used Instantcert for all except History of Vietnam War).
I found that there were many areas covered in the exam that were not covered in the flash cards. Especially the breakdown between Australophithecines, Homo erectus, Homo habilis, Homo sapiens (neanderthalensis and sapiens). Additionally, there were several questions on Central and South American civilizations that I was unprepared for.
Just an FYI for anyone else considering taking this one. Regardless, I'm hopeful that I passed!

Good combo-American Lit AND US History I? |

So with plan B a go ahead, I am now preparing to take American Lit for 6 UL hours next Tuesday and US History I.
The topics seem to overlap a lot, and support each other.
I am using some of the links I have found through searching this site to quiz myself in addition to IC.
AL seems doable. I have "The Complete Idiot's Guide", plus, the Norton online Quizzes. I got a "60" on the first Peterson's practice for AL, so I think I should be fine.
However I got a 38 on the first Peterson's US History, but to be very honest, I took it late at night, in a somewhat "happy" state, on a whim...:o
I have since reviewed every question, and am going to do the IC cards a few more times before attempting the other US H I two practice tests.
I have also taken the CLEP practicee tests, and done well on those...basically memorized them.
What did you find the most difficult about the US History tests?
Areas to know well? I would be happy to just pass at this point.
Tuesday will hopefully bring me 9 hours closer to my goal.
Thanks for reading...

Who passed the CLEPS Math Test? |

The Math CLEPS Test is a big subject on this web site and seems to have caused a number of people a great deal of stress.
Here's my question to those of you who have already passed the test. I have never been good at math. In high school I barely passed Algebra - and that was over 20 years ago. As a professional person at work, the use of calculators has further alienated me from working with math problems.
Is this test passable for someone like me? On average, in college I'm a B+ student in all the other subjects - but mathematics is foreign to me. If you have a sense of where I'm coming from I'd like to hear from you. I have three classes left and Iâd like to test out of all three and finally get my degree. Math is the challenge.
My plan is to get a tutor, watch videos and use this site.
What do you guys and gals think???
Thanks,
CD

Financial Aid |

Since Excelsior does not participate in the Federal Student Aid Loan program (FAFSA), I can not apply for financial aid in the traditional manner.
Credit by Examination is cheap, but not free. How are you financing your undergrad. or advanced degree. Any suggestions?

English Composition is UP! |

Hey everybody,
At last, English Comp is up and running. It will prepare you for the multiple choice questions on the English Comp with or without Essay.
We would recommend taking the English Comp with Essay, since the mult-choice questions are much easier. Also, as long as you have some basic writing skills, it's very hard to fail the essay portion.
BY THE WAY--if anyone takes the Eng Comp with Essay exam and would be up for writing an article or a little guide on the essay portion, please do! I will post it up and give you credit for it.
Thanks,
|
