I took this today and got an (instant gratification) 64. For those taking this test I would suggest doing the Petersen's practice tests as a supplement. There are questions on there that aren't covered by Instantcert, but you can't go wrong using it as your main resource.

Overall it was harder than I thought it would be. I had studied the IC until I knew it forward and backward but I still made quite a few educated guesses. There were 89 questions and you needed 46 to pass.

I hope this helps if you are preparing to take this test. Onto Human Resources!

  Passed Here's to your Health
Posted by: NYTtech - 11-09-2006, 04:03 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (4)

I just wanted to let you know I just took and passes Here's to your Health with a 58.

The testing center I went to offers the computerized testing. They said they are part of the pilot program. It took them 20 minutes to logon to the proctor portion of the test. That was pretty aggrevating.

All in all the test was more difficult than I thought. I may of underestimated going into it. There was ALOT of material that was not covered by Instantcert, yet that is all I used and passed. There is alot of common sense health questions.

I spent about 2 days 1/2 days studying at work. I work at a helpdesk so when the phone wasn't were ringing i was reviewing.

All in all im pretty psyched to have started my journey. I had 10 tests to take and now im down to 9.

Up next Principles of Management! Wish me luck.

  Help me find an easy 3 credit math course
Posted by: RBOWMAN - 11-09-2006, 07:56 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (8)

After bombing in college math the good folks at T.E.S.C. have agreed to let me take a 3 credit math, pending their approval, of my choice. Iam thinking about

Dantes...not sure which math.. need simple!!
Penn Foster..but I can't get in touch with them
AND .. any place else that will let me get this done now!

They said that the other 3 credits I need in science could be astronomy from Dantes, but what resource for studying will do the job..any ideas? Or maybe someone knows of a better course for my science requirement. I have taken the race to save the planet, here's to your health and geology; so Iam open to suggestions. Six credits to go and Iam done, but hopefully not "TOASTED".
I need and am appreciative of your input.

Thanks,Ronhilarious

  Statistics electronic
Posted by: xn85turbo - 11-08-2006, 08:23 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (10)

Has anyone taken the electronic version of this test yet? I am going to take it next week and was wonder how many quiestions and how much time do they give you? So far all the electronic tests I have taken have been 2 hours and 100+ questions. I see lots of people say 3-4 hours to take the written version of this test hence why I am asking.

  Took D & A electronic today
Posted by: xn85turbo - 11-07-2006, 04:06 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (7)

Well this test was a bear (scrored a 52). I took the electronic format today and had enough time to review it twice, 106 questions. I used IC and Prometric practice exams for this test only (those are all you need but study hard).

Here is what you need to know:
Be sure to know everything about:
Sedative Hypnotics
Opiates
Stimulants
Hallucinogins
Trade names, street names, effect on the body, withdrawal symptoms, symptoms of addiction, how these drugs interact and potentiate with each other, what impact an overdose would have. About 75% of the test

I only got maybe 10% of the test covering Alcohol and Tobacco if not less. Also know what agencies control what and when they were created! The rest of the exam 15% was misc stuff.

I just passed Principles of Management and now need to tackle Principles of Accounting or Intro to Business Law. Which is more difficult?

BTW: Scored 69 on the Principles of Management simply using InstaCert.

  Abnormal Psychology ECE is UP!
Posted by: sgloer - 11-07-2006, 01:40 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (9)

I just posted the new Abnormal Psych materials. If Excelsior has a practice exam for this subject, I would recommend supplementing our materials with it.

I think the materials were well-developed in accordance to the content outline and should work on their own, but I say better to be safe than sorry! Smile

Please provide feedback if you take the exam........

Does anybody have the study guide for heres to your health in PDF. The instantcert format is great but it would be nice if I could just read it all at once. My eyes get tired of reading everything on my monitor. Any help would be appreciated. I am going to try and take it on Thursday.
