  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

  New to Instacert.com
Posted by: trasyrincan - 10-20-2006, 04:36 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (3)

Hey everyone! How is everyone doing? I am really new to this, and I have only been on here for a few weeks now. This is my FIRST POSTING. lol. I took my first dantes: Principles of Supervision using Instacert.com. I studied for approximately three weeks studying a couple hours a night. I used strictly Instacert, though. I am really nervous, and I am scared that I did not do well! This is my first time actually studying for a clep/dantes exam. I am now studying for Intro to Sociology and taking that the 25 of this month! What materials should I use for Intro to Sociology? I am really nervous...should I look up some terms on the internet...I have been reading on freeuniv.com, does that help? Should I take those Peterson's as well? I am really excited about this program, and I was also wondering if anyone can help me! I want to take Principles of Management next (after Intro-Sociology)...how hard is that one? Also, which one is easier Here's to your Health or Intro to Business. I have no background experience in any of those subjects... Thanks for all your help, and have a great day!

Is this possible? I have not taken a math class of any kind in about 15 years. Can I pass this thing if I know IC in and out?

  To Major or Not to Major
Posted by: Katterina - 10-19-2006, 08:33 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (7)

...in psychology. So I'm trying to decide on a major before I enroll with Excelsior. I could go BA/BS Psychology with a Sociology focus or BA/BS Liberal Studies with Psychology and Sociology focuses. The coursework would be almost the same for either degree-- the only difference being that I would skip statistics with the LS major. I just can't decide which would be better for me on a resume.:confused: I have also been considering grad work in management or library science.

I've had a couple bad experiences in telling people I was going to be a psyche major. One person told me that I had issues because I was pursuing it without wanting to practice mental health (to my face!) and the other took it to mean that every time I asked her how she was doing (as in, "Good morning, how are you?") I was psycholanalyzing her! Is there really a stigma attached to psych majors or is it just the weirdos I work with? I just happen to like studying social sciences.

On the other hand, I like the Liberal Studies major because it would be more general, which might be good for the type of government jobs I would apply for. But then, I wonder if there are also employers that might frown upon the absence of a traditional major... like my older brother who loves to tease me about my AA in "Nothing" (General Studies). Bad brother!

Basically the same degree, different names. I don't feel terribly strongly one way or another. So I would love some opinions on the subject. Any thoughts?

  TECEP Art History 2
Posted by: LuBee - 10-19-2006, 01:43 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - No Replies

Any TESC students take the TECEP for Art History 2? It is a required course since my degree will be in visual art.

I was also thinking that studying for that and getting farmiliar with that first would help me with HUMANITIES. Any insights?

  DSST Found out I passed test after receiving score I failed.
Posted by: BGN - 10-19-2006, 12:29 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (9)

Back in August I took DSST Foundations of Education using only Instantcert for study. I felt confident that I had done well on this test. When I received my test results I was shocked to find out I failed this test. And not by a little My report said I scored a 29. I up to that point had taken 8 clep and 3 dantes test passing all since last December. I thought I had done well on this exam and was at a loss on how I could obtain such a low score. I put it behind me figuring I either transposed answers on my answer sheet or was completely clueless to this subject matter. I continued testing taking 3 more cleps since that time. Guess what I received in the mail? A correction to my score for the Foundations of ED exam, I did not score a 29 but a 67. I logged onto the COSC site to check my transcript and status report and there it showed the new score with a letter grade of A and 3 more credits!! giving me a total of 102.7 credits. Finally over the 100 credit hour mark. So now that makes me 15 for 15 on testing 11 Cleps and 4 Dantes. I would urge anyone if you failed a Dantes test and you feel something isn't right to follow-up. I didn't and got lucky that they caught and corrected their error. I remember seeing a post either this or on another forum of someone with a similar experience. Anyone else have this happen?
PS Instantcert is more than enough to prepare for this test.

Thanks,
BGN
