I received an e-mail yesterday from Charter Oak State College that my Academic Autobiography has been approved. This completes all requirements for my bachelor's of science degree;I will graduate in May.

Instantcert was a tremendous help in completing my degree plan. Listed below are the Clep and Dantes tests I completed with their corresponding score and credits earned. Also listed is study materials used for each exam.

19. College Math 56- 6 credit REA,multitude of other books,time 11/06

Also completed the 1 credit Computer Literacy course now required.

All told 79 credits in just under a year (barely). Certainly not a rarity on this board. There are many who have completed far more test in a shorter period of time than I. So if you are hesitating,and procrastinating out of fear, don't.

In case you're wondering I had accumulated 41.7 credits prior to matriculating with Charter Oak. Of these 36 were upper level in my concentration,so I only needed to earn lower level credit to complete my degree.

"Grab That Star...Become Who You Are"

I got a 62, studied I/C for about 10 hours total. easy test.

Can some one tell me if it is ok to send certifcates/transcripts earned while on the job,when sending an application to EC for evulation?

Hey guys, I am in the military and I am looking to finish my bachelors degree or as close to it in the next 2 years that I am still in . I was looking at St Leo and Excelsior. Heres a question for all of you who have completed degrees at Excelsior, has anyone been accepted into a good masters program using a bachelors from Excelsior? I know you can get your degree rather quickly there but I have heard some things about this college such as the accreditation is not all that great. Thanks

I am reading through my material and I can not see what the difference in BALA as oppsed to the BSLA. Any one care to expalin.
What is the applied professional courses? Where can I find them?
Thanks in advance for the response.

So I didn't mention much about this on the board because I didn't want to jinx myself, but I set out yesterday to take the CLEP A&I and Psych tests and the DSST Principles of Supervision test. I was performing horribly on all the Psych sample tests--best score I got was 59. Took the real thing yesterday and got a 73. See Snazzlefrag's post for test content (where for art thou, Snazzlefrag?). The Peterson tests are WAY off on this one, but, using only IC, Petersons and CLEP sample tests and some Wikipedia I was obviously prepared and had no prior Psych experience other than passing the Sociology test.

Then I went to lunch and came back to tackle A&I Lit. There were some very tough passages in there and only a few questions with literary terms (alliteration was one of them). I really didn't know if I had done well enough to pass, so I was thrilled when a 61 popped up. The only study I did was take all the sample tests. Petersons were very helpful here. I passed all the samples I took on this one.

One more to go. Principles of Supervision had a few questions that came out of left field but otherwise was fine and I got a 67 using primarily the DSST study materials and a little IC--along with the Petersons tests.

As that test was winding down I started to think about asking to try another. I hadn't prepared for anything else, but hey--I was on a roll! I asked the proctor if I could take the Fundamentals of Counseling test--promising I would only take an hour. He agreed and off I went. This was the first test I took with absolutely zero preparation. I benefited from my psych study on about 10-12 questions and common sense helped too. By my rough calculation, I thought I had passed it by one point. I went over my answers one more time and hit the button.........

PASS! A 58! My lowest score so far, but still an A from Excelsior! That makes it...let's see... three plus six is nine...plus three is twelve...plus three is.................15 credits! A semester in a day! Wooooohooooo!!!!!!! This is livin'!

Anyway--just wanted to share. That was some kinda fun right there.
