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?

Passed with a 69!!!

IMO, it was definitely harder and the questions were trickier than the macroeconomics. I got a 76 on the macro and was done in about an hour. With the micro I went right to the final minute and was a little nervous pressing that proceed button.

As far as advice goes, the Peterson's tests really helped me a bunch and I took the 'official' one from the clep book as well. The questsions from instantcert was also very helpful. I'd also add that the Economics text book by samuelson really was critical for me getting my brain around the content in both tests. I didn't necessarily read every page word for word but I think it would have been hard to get a 76 and 69 by just doing the questions and study guides.

Good luck to everyone!

I just got done taking the DANTES, Here's to your health. Instacert definately helped me take this test. Almost all of the questions weere in the study materials of this site.

I will know the results in 10 days. I paid an extra $20 to find out pass or fail in 10 days. Better than waiting for 6-8 weeks.

I will let you all know how I did. Now it is time to study for Ethics in America.

I didn't see where anyone else had posted about this, so I thought I'd share the news: Prometric is running a pilot Dantes internet based testing program at select sites accross the country. Today I took Organizational Behavior on-line, at Tidewater Community College in Norfolk, VA, and the interface was about like CLEP tests are. You can mark questions for review, then at anytime during the exam or at the end you can go back and review them. And getting that score at the end was AWESOME. According to the proctor the following exams are also available through them, with others becoming available later:

Criminal Justice
Drug and Alcohol Abuse
Environment and Humanity
Here's to Your Health
Intro to World Religions
Intro to Business
Principals of Financial Accounting

I am scheduled for the Marketing CLEP in two weeks. I have been utilizing IC along with the REA CLEP Principles of Marketing book. I did the first practice test last night and scored a 68%. I'm really not too surprised since some of the questions seemed pretty silly and with the process of elimination, it was easy to pick out the correct answer. Is this typical of the REA books? This is my first time using a REA book. Are they typically known to be a decent study guide for a CLEP exam?

Also, if anyone has taken the Marketing CLEP, do you recall how many/how much I'll need to know about markups and markdowns (percentages, etc.)? Should I really study those formulas hard or just know the basics?

Thank you.

Hi everyone!
I passed my first Dantes test. Here's to Your Health! So , now I am frantically studying for O.B. Anyone have any tips on this one? Next is personal test is personal finance.:

I know Excelsior accepts Dantes MIS as UL, but will they accept it as part of of the core curriculum for an MIS degree?

Hi Everyone,

I am not sure if anyone can help me. Thomas Edison has just computerized some of thier exams through ACT, has anyone taken any yet? I am scheduled to take the Psychology of Women in July.

This will be my first TECEP test and I am wondering how other people have prepared for them. Online, the practice test (only 20 questions) has some suggested reading material, but they are the complete $100.00 text books (overkill in my opinion).

Any suggestions would be beneficial.

Thanks,

Ok so I went and take CLEP Principles of Accounting earlier today. I thought it was going to be ok cause I studied real hard. Boy was I in for a shock! It was very very difficult!! I studied hard using IC notes. Had 78 questions and 1.30.
I did NOT have time to finish. I think I left like 10 questions unanswered and probably just click away on at least 10 others.
Needless to say I thought I failed but I'll never know
I chose to NOT report my score. I did this because I am quite positive I didn't pass and also I thought I can take it b4 the 6 month period.
I was wrong! Even though I did not report it I still can't take it for 6 months!!!
This is CRAP!!!!!!!!! ARRGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
I'm fully depress now.
I need some other notes. I have to admit IC did not come through this time around. I am questioning if it's even worth $19/month I pay to this site anymore.
What other sites are good for helping me prepare for Accouting ? i hate accounting BTW. I rather get poke in the retina by a hot soldering iron than to take 2 regular classes of accounting which this exam woulda taken care of had I pass with flying colors.
