Hey I'm new to this forum but I've been using it for motivation for quite some time now! Anyway I just had to get this off of my chest because it's driving me insane! Today was by big day I actually took my first CLEP test (Biology) and although I was nervous I just wanted to see what I was capable of. So I go to the ed. center sit down at the computer and start by going through the tutorials and get through the first section of the test. I went back to question 2 to fix it and then I click Exit Section assuming it would fast forward to the next part saving me some time....and behold I exited the whole TEST:eek: I am so depressed this is just my luck and I'm pretty sure that this hasn't happened before....anyway I'm not going to let it get me down, my proctor is going to write a report and try to fix it but if not I'm going to be waiting six months...by then all of that studying will be out of my brain....sigh I'm ranting now I think I'll leave it alone. I just wanted to post this for any rookies like me...remember Section Exit = Test Exit! Be careful!

I took this test today. It followed very closely to the Fact Sheet provided by the dantes web site. I recognized at least 75% of the questions from IC. The rest were situation questions. They put you in the place of the counselor, and give you what would you do type questions.!
This test is very do-able using only IC.
Thanks for all the support.

Hello,

I have been a long time lurker in this forum. I have found so much valuabale information here that I figured I would add some of my own. I took both of the above tests within 2 weeks using Instacert only and with no background in LE. If you want 6 easy credits read on...

Intro to LE was much harder than Criminal Justice. Intro to LE demands a bunch of case law memorization and you better know your amendments (4,5,6,8,14). I would *definitely* review the Criminal Justice questions before you take this test. I felt unprepared because I did not review them only to find out next week that Criminal Justice had some of the answers. I scored a 59 on this test which is a pretty solid A. If you study the Criminal Justice cards you will be well into the 60s.

Criminal Justice was a much easier test. After taking intro to LE and reviewing the Instacert questions I only questioned 2-3 questions out of 90. You will see questions like:

Which crime in NOT a victimless crime:
a. gambling
b. prostitution
c. consuming illegal drugs
d. sodomy

I will update this thread when I get my results but I am certain of a 60+ score. Enjoy!

Can anyone share their experiences with TESC as compared to EXCELSIOR OR COSC?

Excelsior seem the most flexible so far but they are pain as far as getting information not being enrolled. they have evaluated my transcripts but don't seem to give me much more info other than that. i am having a problem because some of my schools were not regionally accredited at the time but now are.

I'm starting my study schedule for this test. I have heard many say that IC is all you need for this particular exam. I'm also an electronics technician so I know my way around computers. I believe this will help as well.

Still I'm debating if I should get the Rudman's guide to Management Infomation System. Has anyone else used this?

If so did it help, hurt, or was pretty useless?

Should I get the study guide? Any help would be appreciated.

I am planning to take CLEP French I and II

From what I have read it seems that only French II is worth 12 credits and that French I is worth maximum of 6. Does anyone know if this is correct?

I studied French for ten years but have not picked up a textbook in a decade. How much of the exam is conjugation and specifics of grammar? Or is it more simply supplying the correct word to fill in a blank or complete a sentence?

Is it more about for example, "j'ai" vs "je suis" type of questions?

Any help is appreciated.

just curious ...

which schools will not transfer in any f grades from a transcript ?hilarious

Hello
I read thew boards and read the boards so much information. Ok my questions are I have taken the fema classes and sent off to FCC to forward my transcript to the univeristy which I attend. I assumed that since FCC is RA that another RA univeristy would accept the transcript. Seem like I read in a post that a Univeristy may not accept it. Maybe I am confused.
I have taken about 18 of them in hopes to use them as electives.
Am I to try and get in Excelsior ,TESC, or Penn Foster . I want to complete my degree at my current University but can these help me progress along.

Ok one more question I am almost done with all my psy classes ( only 2 more to do )which I totally took no testing out .But I still have some general ed classes to take which means I have alegebra to take which heck I am so dumb in math and then I have a computer class to take .Oh can some one give some guidance on what to do.

I would appericate a response.
Thanks In advance. I want to be finish so bad.

I did a search on this but would greatly appreciate detailed feedback from someone who took it and remembers the names, concepts and theories they were tested on. I have found this type of feedback for other tests here and have found it quite helpful. Otherwise I'm sort of in the dark here, not sure if I should spend time memorizing all the names, theories and stages of e/t IC is supplying or not...

Is anyone studying for two exams at the same time? I am trying to speed up my progress and I was considering doing this....
