I am scheduled to take Clep Math (general) on Thursday at 3pm. Assuming that Math is not my strength and my main goal is just to pass, how good are my odds when I score 55 on Petersons? I'm sure that can be written in some kind of equasion, but none come to mind, :confused: the brain is fried. Any feedback?

I know this has been discussed before, but I wanted to see what the general concensus was on the easiest exams. I have taken Personal Finance and Analyzing and Interpreting Literature. I have to take US History I & II in December. After that, I have 5 more exams I need to complete (upper or lower credit) for electives, so it doesn't matter what they are. I am leaning towards taking all of them in the Business Arena as I have a pretty strong business and IT background.

That being said, this is what I am planning to take:

1. DSST - Human Resource Management
2. DSST - Introduction To Business
3. DSST - Organizational Behavior
4. DSST - Here's to Your Health (just because I heard it was easy)
5. CLEP - Principles of Management

I would appreciate any advice. I cannot take any MIS or Computing type class as I have transferred in these credits and I have verified with my school that they will conflict.

Thanks in advance...

Hello,

I have been away from IC and testing for several months. Can you guys get me up to speed on UL test prep for the following exams? I was hoping to use IC exclusively. Has anybody received an A on these using IC alone? Obviously, I would like to study from as few resources as possible and still score an A (don't we all).

ECE Ethics Research and Practice
Dantes Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union
Dantes Civil War & Reconstruction

Thanks in advance for any info. that yo can share!

FYI - I have read numerous times that the best order to take these exams regarding material overlap is as follows:

Abnormal Psych
Adulthood & Aging
Gerontology

Followed by Research Methods in Psych, which probably shares little if any overlap with the exams above.

It appears that IC will have Abnormal up in about a month allowing everybody to test in this order.

Do they not show the results immediately any more? I have read several people saying that they are waiting for their ECE scores:confused:

Hi,

My testing center has just started giving DSST tests on-line starting Oct. 2. They are no longer offering the paper tests. So I was wondering if anyone has taken the DSST Principles of Finance test on-line yet and what are your thoughts? I'm scheduled for the Finance test next week, and I feel like I'm a guinea pig.

Are the tests timed? If so, how long is allowed to take the test?
Can we use our own calculator, or must we use an on-line calculator?
Are the financial charts provided on-line?

This is one test that I would rather take via paper and pencil, because I like to point at and underline problems while I am working them and punching numbers into my calculater. I think I might make more errors when looking up at a screen and down at my calculatore and scratch paper.

Thanks,
Connie

Hi everyone. I'd like to know if anyone can help me out. Say you enroll in Excelsior's Bachelor's Degree program and you have 70 credits but no previous Associates degree. If you meet all of the requirements for an AA in Liberal Arts at Excelsior do they automatically give you that degree or do you just remain "degreeless" until you finish your BA? Hope that makes sense...

Just wondering how that works. Thanks!

I registered for this test a few months ago. Yesterday I received a letter from Excelsior, informing me that IntelliMetric, which is the automatic scoring tool used to grade the test, will be unavailable until Spring of 2007. The responses for the test will be graded by a faculty committee appointed by Excelsior - and the grades will be mailed within FORTY-FIVE DAYS! They may just be allowing themselves plenty of leeway, but this is a huge amount of time......even if they're heros and finish two weeks early, that's still an entire month. So here's my question: does anyone know of another way to test out for this course, aside from TESC? As I understand it with TESC, it also takes forever to get the grade, and it costs quite a bit more too. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

[SIZE="2"][COLOR="Navy"]Hello Excelsior College Alumni & Current Students working towards their degrees.

First, let me say how very pleased and proud I am on becoming an alumni of Excelsior College and hope that you are too!

Ever since starting/finishing my degree with Excelsior I have found myself trying to associate myself with what the school stands for and is identified with. Of course as we all know Excelsior means “ever upward” and is also to motto for New York State, but we lack, in general, a real sense of identity.

For example, most "brick and mortar” schools have some kind of sports teams such as the LSU Tigers, UF Gators, Miami Hurricanes and such. Even the University of Alaska - Fairbanks, who have very little in the ways of sports teams have the Nanooks as an identity.

But what about Excelsior College, what do we have?

I realize we have no collective sports teams or a brick and mortar campus, but we don’t even have a real unifying identity or iconic/symbolic source of school pride except for the school logo itself. However, it is that logo – the EC Globe that may in fact be one of the best sources of unifying identity of all – it’s seen on everything but lacks an identity and better yet a real name.

Of course one of the first names that came to my mind was “Globe-Trotter” but that name of course has already been taken. I then modified to “Globe-Trekkers” but that just didn’t sound right, a bit too corny. In fact any prefix or suffix to Globe just doesn’t sound or feel right but the addition of just one letter seemed to do the trick.

How about the Excelsior College – Globes!

It ties right in with the current logo itself, doesn’t sound too self-absorbed or pretentious insofar as we don’t have any sports teams but we do have thousands of alumni or should I say – “Globes” who have graduated before us. I say we give them a real source of identity, a symbol and name to reflect their school pride.

Of course, this topic may have already been addressed but I willing and hoping that perhaps my suggestion might very well spawn any new names suggestions that will give ALL Excelsior College students and alumni a symbol and name to be proud of.

What do you think?[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Does anyone know of a site where I can find practice cleps for French and German? Also, what is the maximum number of credits Excelsior will allow for languages in a BA Psych or possibly a BS psych? Thanks as always, Johanna
