  Human Growth and Development
Posted by: blueyzz28 - 01-23-2007, 10:07 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (2)

Just wanted to let the community know I passed Human Growth and Development with a 68!! I studied for about 4 days, roughly 20 to 25 hours. A number of the questions seemed to come directly from IC. It was funny the number I answered that matched the IC flashcards. This was my 4th CLEP in 9 weeks. College is fun!!

Helpful hint: Get the REA: Human Growth and Development book and go through the IC flashcards and you will do fine.

  Computer Proficiency Elective
Posted by: wannagradu8 - 01-22-2007, 11:24 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (5)

Hello All,

This forum has been of extreme value in my effort to get my diploma. As a lurker I have found the advice offered to be thoroughly accurate and prudent. Therefore I've decided to break my silence and come forward with a question.

I recently discovered that I'm shy three credits of graduation. All I need to do is to fulfill a computer proficiency elective. I noticed that DSST offers an exam titled, Introduction to Computing. Unfortunately InstantCert does not offer flash cards for this exam. They do however offer assistance with the CLEP and DSST for exams pertaining to Information Systems and Computer Applications. My questions are:

1. Has anyone taken any of the above mentioned exams, and if so how would they describe the level of difficulty for each? My knowledge of computers is about the equivalent of the average office worker.

2. Would anyone recommend preparing for the CLEP or DSST in Information Systems and Computer Applications in lieu of Introduction to Computing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jason :confused:

  Principles of Management
Posted by: soltran - 01-22-2007, 08:24 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (2)

G'day All,

Well I am scheduled to sit the Principles of Management and the Principles of Statistics tomorrow and feel well and truly under prepared for both. It seems that getting the Principles of Statistics through this thick skull of mine has been a major chore leaving no time to devote to the Principles of Management at all. Anyway, I have committed to sitting these tests tomorrow and I will report back, pass or fail, on how I go.

The purpose of this post is because while considering my lack of preparation at work today I did a quick search of the net and found a couple of links others may find of use. The first link leads to a series of PowerPoint presentations addressing the Principles of Management (which I am reading through now), the second is a link that seems to have some useful information in regard to business studies (unfortunately too much for me to get through tonight) and the third is a Statistics link. I did a search of the forum and didn’t find reference to these links so if they do appear elsewhere I apologize. I do hope someone can find some useful information from these links.

  Principles of Management CLEP
Posted by: cpstudent - 01-22-2007, 08:09 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (12)

I am taking (maybe Wink) Principles of Management on Wednesday. I am scared of taking another test because I failed two in a row (US History I and II). I have taken two of the Petersons tests and got 65% and 66%. On the College Board test I got 59% on the first half. When I went to take the second half, I got 23 questions into it and only had 7 correct!!! I don't know what the deal was. I also feel like I know the IC material well and am using the Comex along with it. Any tips or encouragement would be GREATLY appreciated!

I only need 50% to pass.

Posted by: upgradelately - 01-22-2007, 12:52 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (4)

I have completed 2 CLEP and 2 DANTE tests. How long does it usually take for the scores to get to your selected college (U of P) and how long for the school to grant you credit?

Thanks,
Shawn

  Any feedback on Job search?
Posted by: mom2school - 01-21-2007, 01:59 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (16)

:confused:

Okay - I have looked and searched the site but I am not really finding what I am looking for.

I am just wondering if anyone has any feedback on how their job search went after they got their degree through Excelsior or even one of the other online schools. I am venturing forward to get my degree in business/accounting. I am just wondering if there is any feedback on Excelsior versus a traditional college degree.

I have used CLEP tests for several credits....It has saved me alot of money. The college I am currently taking classes through does not accept ECE test and I cannot take DSST because I am not military(hmmmm should I enlist LOL). The tuition and class restrictions are killing me....at this rate I will get my degree in 2009..I don't want to wait that long, it seems like such a snails pace compared to others who have gotten their degrees on here.

Any input would be appreciated since I am trying to decide if I can afford the enrollment fee for Excelsior or should I just save my money and use for classes.

  Thomas Edison question
Posted by: Old Rusty Pipe - 01-20-2007, 08:45 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - No Replies

I'll be graduating with my Bachleor's in Business Administration in July from Saint Leo, but I find that between credits already earned and my military training I meet all the requirements for an Associate in Electronics.

If I already meet all the course requirements simply wanted to roll my credits up, and get that A.S. will they do that? And if so how much would that cost?

Since there isn't a degree overlap I figured it would look better on my resume down the road.

Any thoughts or opinions. Thanks.
