Hey Everyone,
I have been hearing how long it is taking for the schools to get back to you, so in the meantime I have outlined a course of action to complete my BS in liberal studies from TESC. Here is what it looks like I have left to complete it.

English 2
Humanities
Soc Science & History
Principles of Acct
Human Growth & Dev (currently studying)
Intro to Ed Psych
Drug & Alc Abuse
Org Behavior
Lifespan Dev Psych
Ethics in America
Analyzing & Inter Lit
Intro to World Rel

I will use Fema to satisy my free electives (27)

How does this sound and in what order should I take these from easiest to hardest...Thank you so much for your help!!!

Hi all

I am new to the discussion forum. I read through it about two weeks ago and for the first time I heard about Excelsior College. I am a student at University of Phoenix, and paying about $1450.00 per three credits. Since finding out about Excelsior college I am highly considering transfering there and hopefully finish my degree quicker and with less debt in student loan.
My husband who's an MBA student at Harvard thinks this is a big Joke bigger the University of Phoenix. But I strongly feel this is the way for me to take before I go for my MBA.

Could someone please give me some positve words, some encouragement. Also I want to major in Finance would this be a wise decision to make with Excelsior college or should I just do General Business.

I am taking Principles of Management tomorrow. I've studied IC and have scored a 81, 79 and 84 on the Peterson's exams. Do ya'll think I'm ready. There is still time more studying but I'm just a little burnt out and still have schoolwork to do this weekend. Thoughts? A couple more stabs at IC or leave it alone and get a good night's rest.

This was my first CLEP, I passed Humanities with a 55! Wow that was some test! I think I would have done better had I not waited till last night to cram. I used InstaCert only, and will now move on to the Natural Sciences CLEP. hilarious

Hi,

Just wondering what are Pass your Class and REA's?

Thanks, Brenda

Is there a reason that InstantCert doesn't offer help with the Natural Science Clep? Is it really better to just take the Biology Clep instead?

A friend recently took a DSST computer based exam and was told that they could not give him a printout of his score.
I am wondering if this is true of all testing centers or if this center was having a problem on that particular day.

Thanks,
Ron

Is there any aircraft mechanic out there that is using their a/p license for a degree at TESC? Thanks.

what are some pros and cons taking the CLEP and the DANTES...?


I felt the DANTE exams gave the student unlimited timing while the CLEP would put so much pressure ......now i am starting to sound lazy ..

Hello,

I just passed Natural Science Exam. I took the Biology exam aabout two to three weeks ago. Natural Science exam is alot easier then that exam. My score was 71 percent for Natural Science. I spent about three weeks studying. The questions were pretty easy and straightforward. There was alot of common sense questions. About 5 questions in regards to global warming, ozone layer, acid rain, and city pollution. There was quesitons in regards to Mitosis, Meiosis, cellular anatomy. I had to draw a punnet square for several quesitons. There were several enzyme questions. Know what causes contractions during birth. A RH question. There were several questions in regards to plants. Know difference between Monocot, Dicot, plant especially leaf count, and plant hormmones. Know predator, prey relationships, food chain. Know human anatomy. Know classes, phylums. About five questions there. For the physical science, I had a couple balanced equation questions. I also had about five half life (nuclear decay) questions. Allot of questions in regards to physics and geography. Some of the geography questions were hard.

This test is pretty easy and I recommend it for anyone that needs science credits. This test didnt really get too in depth in any subject, and there was questions that all you had to do was interpet a graph. I consider those questions freebies.

The study material I used.

REA Biology (Definatly read and remember)
Standard Deviant Biology and Chemistry (not a necessaty but useful)
David and Laura study guide (good primer, or helps refresh past memories)
REA Clep simulation software, (well worth money, a little harder then actual exam)
Peterson simulation software (well worth money, harder then the actual exam but I seen some questions that were on the real exam that they presented)

I like the simulation software because you get used to the timing of the test. The test is 90 minutes long and is 120 questions. Without practice you may come up short on the real exam.

I also went to the library and skimmed through a physical science book.

Hope this helps
