  Clep, Dantes, and GPA
Posted by: cadet9rbi - 10-25-2006, 06:28 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (2)

Dear Steve et al,

Does one's grade at the University fluctuate with the score you get on Dantes or Clep, or is it a pass/fail situation? I am concerned about my GPA.

Also, what is the minimum score needed, and what is the percentage, would you say, of questions that need to be answered correctly to pass?

Thank you,
cadet9rbi

  Dantes also?

Hello,

Does anyone know if these instantcert study guides are good prep for the Dantes tests as well as CLEP?

Thanks in advance for your helpful responses.

Kindly,

  Biology or principles of management
Posted by: lillyfire3 - 10-24-2006, 06:08 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (5)

I need 9 clep points to complete my lower level education requirements. I was thinking about Biology and Principles of Management. In the Peteresons practice test I get 60 right in Biology and 70 right in Principles of Accounting. I was just wondering if I can pass the cleps with these scores and only using instantcert?

  Actually Taking A Class---In A Classroom!
Posted by: Basket Weaver - 10-24-2006, 05:30 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (4)

Wow, how weird is this going to be? I signed up for the silly Freshman Comp to fulfill the Excelsior writing requirement (they won't accept the 6 credit CLEP that I passed). It's only 8 weeks long, two nights a week, and I know I will pass. It's this or wait 1 month for the ECE test to arrive, another week to schedule to take it, then having to wait 73 days:eek: for them to grade it. This fits my plans to finish by the end of Dec.

Studying now for Civil War, let me tell you how incredibly interesting the material is!Rolleyes Rolleyes Rolleyes

Just took and passed the Intro to Sociology exam, 63/80.
So, I need 4 more credits in Social Science.
I am taking the Analyzing and Interpreting American Literature exam soon, and I will need 4 more Humanities credits.

  The moment of truth is here.
Posted by: wannabeit - 10-24-2006, 02:07 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (2)

I just received my status report. I was given 8 credits for Comptias, 8 credits for MCSE and 3 credits for CCNA, total 19. Security+, Network+, (70-293 and 70-294 MCSE) were applied as upper credits (9).

Now, the serious work begin. I have 36 core credits to complete. Meanwhile, I have some clepping to do in the art and sciences, in addition the Discrete Math.

The moment of truth is here. Any suggestions on how to approach all of this without pulling out my hair.

  Does this school look legit? (grad school)
Posted by: Criticalthinker - 10-23-2006, 12:33 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (14)

I am very interested in their Masters in Music, but am unsure about their accreditation in general.

Their coursework looks quite normal, but there seems to be a religious affiliation that is somewhat vague underneath it all, as well, not that being a religious school is a bad thing at all, it's just that their mission seems ambiguous.

Just not sure.

Thoughts and insights welcome.

Thanks

  How exactly do they calculate the CLEP score?
Posted by: kelsey06 - 10-22-2006, 05:03 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (1)

It's not a point for each question, right? I'm just trying to get a mindset of how many i need to get correct for a test w/ 98 questions. I'd appreciate your help if anyone knows!

  Drug And Alcohol this Friday
Posted by: lucab617 - 10-21-2006, 07:00 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (21)

Hi everyone,

I am taking the Dantes D&A Abuse test this friday. This is the first Dantes exam that I am going to take. I have taken the CLEP Analyzing and Interpreting Literature exam and passed with a 53. I also took CLEP US1 and US2 and did not pass those. I only studied with the CLEP study guides on those exams. I haven't really studied as much as I would have liked to for this exam but, I am going to try and cram in as much as I can this week with the other two midterms I have for my other classes that I am taking :o . Can anyone give me any advice? I have looked on the other posts about the charts to remember and what not. Can anyone tell what I should expect and what to focus on.

This is my supposed last semester at Boston University, graduating with my BS in Computer Science. In order for me to graduate in December is to finish the three classes I am taking now and another 12 credits which are all electives. I am going to try and plan on passing on 3 exams=12 credits. The D&A being my first one. I hope I can reach this goal. The reason I am trying to get it done by the end of December is because I would like to start Grad School in January. Any support is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
