| Excelsior - fast testing |

Hello everyone,
I'm new here (found this site yesterday) and was wondering about some advice.
I'm trying to get my Bachelors with Excelsior college, and I try to get it fast. My current schedule is 5 exames per week (after work) for two months, and I should be there.
Has anybody tested so quickly?
Can you share your experience?
What is the most efficient way to get all the preparation done in time :confused: (other then InstantCert, which was already a HUGE help yesterday.)
Thanks for your help, :o
Kat

Operations Management TECEP (Thomas Edison College Exam Program) is up!
I would recommend using the official textbook in conjunction with our materials--at least until some feedback starts coming in. After all, the TECEPs are ridiculously expensive exams, so you want to pass on the first try!
Also, does anyone know if Op Mgmt is supposed to count as upper-level credit?

Just scored a 65 (47 pass) on Civil War using:
IC - One time through and tried to memorize everything $Priceless$
Spark Notes Civil War 44pgs (takes 2 hours) $4.95
Spark Notes Reconstruction 44pgs (takes 2 hours) $4.95
Don't Know Much About the Civil War Audio Book (5 cassettes - 6 hours) - only listened to 4 of the 5 tapes. $5.95
I hope Soviet Union is this easy.

| ECE Nursing |

Hi, I'm new to the forums and was wondering if anyone had any experience with the ECE Nursing Exams?
I've recently taken A&I Lit, Sociology, Psychology, Lifespan Psychology, and American History 1 through Clep and Dantes. Now I'm going to start taking the ECE test and was wondering what to expect.
Also how accurate are the "study guides" that Excelsior provides? I've purchased the text books but I'm feeling slightly overwhelmed. A little guidance and a good place to start would help greatly.
Thanks for any help,
Justin.

Wooohooo! 6 semester hours in one day! What an exhilerating feeling... My girlfriend Anna and I have been studying for Educational Psychology off and on around Christmas, and we were finally ready this Wednesday. But, the testing centers just weren't back together after the Christmas break, so when they couldn't take us Wednesday, we decided to try two exams at once. We started studying Fundamentals of Counseling Wednesday afternoon, and this morning we went to tackle both exams...
It really went great. It was a good bit of time to stay focused intently, but we did Edu. Psych in about 1 1/2 hours, and although Fund. of Counseling was a little harder, it only took 45 minutes. We studied for 10-12 hours for Edu. Psych. and 8-10 hours for Fund. of Couns., just trying to learn enough to pass (with IC only). We started with Edu. Psych. and it was pretty much as expected, and IC was more than enough for that exam. It's a straightforward exam that isn't very "deep", so if you know the facts/names/definitions/terms from IC, along with a little educated guessing, you'll pass easily.
Fund. of Counseling was fine too, although it was harder that Edu. Psych, as I thought. The IC material was full of many more names, dates, facts, terms, etc. than Psych, but we managed to get by with just IC.
Scores:
Edu Psych:
David 62 (50 was passing)
Anna 68
Fund. of Couns.
David 52 (45 was passing)
Anna 60
And no comments about who scored (and scores consistently!) higher than the other. :o)
So, I'd recommend both of these exams as easy to average, straightforward, and defintely doable with just IC if you go over the material thoroughly.
Thanks for all the help folks,
David (and Anna)
PS Final count: Anna only has one class left!!! Criminal Justice is scheduled for next week, then she's done!
And, I'm down to 13 tests to take (including one 6 hr).

I posted earlier that I took the Here's to Your Health test yesterday, and passed with a 60. Mr. Moderator said it would be nice to post some pointers about the test. So here goes...
I took the computerized test, which from posts I had read, thought may be more difficult than the pencil/paper exam was. It's hard to judge, not knowing how the old test was, but I think this probably was harder.
Things that I think helped me were: 1 - IC and 2 - a college level General Health book, and 3 - lots of studying!
On the test, there seemed to be a lot of questions about different types of birth control and contreceptives. Also questions about illegal drugs. There were more "symptom" questions that I expected, questions that asked you like for example "If you have diabetes, what would your symptoms be?" It wasn't enough to know that diabetes is a problem caused from insulin issues.
This was my 1st test in 15 yrs. So that may be why I thought it was hard, I don't know. Anyway whoever's next - I hope this helps.
Valinda

I'm deciding to take the Intro to Educational Psychology exam. I took the Intro to Psychology exam 3 weeks ago and got a 62. I am planning on taking this exam on tuesday. If I don't pass this then I am going to start grad school in the fall. Anyways from what I understand the Ed. Psychology overlaps with with regular Psychology. Does anyone have any experience with this exam?
