I know there are a lot of good college out there. I am just curious of how do you choose a college to get a degree in a short amount of time? What I mean is what do you actually consider before you enroll in a college?

THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED...............

Greetings everyone:

I saw on this site that somebody mentioned Spark notes for Marketing. Does anybody know if the Spark chart is helpful? It's only $5. I'm using REA and InstantCert, and will take the official CLEP practice marketing test (17th edition) when I've studied some more. For Management, I found the Peterson tests excellent, but they unfortunately do not exist for Marketing.

Yesterday I took the Management CLEP and scored 76 out of 80. I would like to say, however, that I did not find the test particularly easy, and I worked hard for 3 weeks using InstantCert, Comex and the Peterson tests, not to mention the official CLEP test. My university requires not 50 but a score of 65, so I was not overconfident. In addition, we only get one shot, and that's it. No testing 6 months later if you fail.

I write this because I see a number of entries where people say they got high scores with just a few hours/days of prep, and the tests were a breeze. Possibly these people are business majors? Maybe they prepped a little more than they realized? I already have a humanities BA with a GPA is 3.87 (I'm doing a pre-MBA now), so I know how to learn effectively, and I still think it's important to study and prepare--a lot.

I write this for anybody who reads the claims that you can do minimal prep work and just fly through a breezy test and all is well. From what I've seen, too much confidence about how easy something will be is a good way to be taken by surprise and fail a test. This holds true especially if your institution requires a higher score than the standard 50, and/or you only have one chance to pass.

Now about those Spark notes for Marketing -- any opinions on those?

Hey Shoko....

I will be taking the College Algebra CLEP on Monday. I know you and I are both "Math-Phobics" I will let you know if I pas...(OR if I don't) Thanks.

Can anyone who has dealt with Excelsior advise me on how they handle this exam, in light of it not satisfying their written English requirement? Seems like it would be duplicate credit for any classes fulfilling that requirement, and not be counted. Thanks.

[SIZE="4"][COLOR="Navy"]Has anyone ever received a completed (post degree) transcript from EC?

If so, does it just list the class/course taken such as "Biology - A" -OR- "CLEP Exam - Biology - A" like it does in the status results page?

Thanks!![/COLOR][/SIZE]

Any one who has taken Macroeconomics, will you please tell me if studying IC flash cards is enough to pass the test. I don’t have any knowledge in economics courses but need to pass it within 10 days.

Thanks

An Irish Greeting from the Irish Coast,

Any study guide or study tip recommendations for this DANTES exam? Is there any on-line information available?

Has anyone taken this exam? I could have sworn I saw flashcards for this one out on InstantCert.

Thanks.

Does Excelsior require any UL credits outside of the 12 required in the business major? I've scanned the catalog over and can't seem to find an answer. I'm wanting to enroll at the end of the year and just want to plan accordingly. Thanks .

I'm now seriously considering going the Excelsior or Thomas Edison route to finish my degree (holding jr. level credits at southern il university).

Knowing there are many people on this board going that way I wanted to ask a question. Has anyone here been accepted (or denied) entrance into a masters program at good university?

I'm not talking harvard or yale of course... I'm talking a university the calibre of University of Illinois, Purdue University or Boston University.

My concern is that these colleges simply won't accept students into their graduate program if the degree from one of these other colleges.

Anyone out there got some experience in this matter?
