I'm curious to find out how everybody on this board heard about Instantcert, and also...what are your main reasons for pursuing a degree thru this 'non-traditional' method?

I just want to get to know more people on this board & what various skills/talents you all have, etc.

Is that wrong?

Hey everyone just wanted to let you know that i started studying for the CLEP MATHMATICS on monday and i passed today (thursday) with a whopping 57 wooooo! hilarious

I'm taking the DSST Principles of Finance Exam after work this evening. I could definitely use the prayers & support. While I was fairly comfortable with a good portion of the material prior to studying for this exam, it is a bit unnerving finding out that this exam has a 10% pass rate. So, I do feel fairly confident, but you just never know until you're done with it.

Anyways, thanks!!

Anyone here take exams in Los Angeles or surrounding areas? I have only been able to find one place using the college board webiste. The few they have listed are out of date. I also tried UOP and they only test in San diego county. Same with National university. 2 others i called do it for enrolled students only.

So far I only have one place that is about a 30 minute + drive out of L.A.

I just received "popuation, by John R. Weeks", 9th Editon, but can't find end ot chapter quiz or questions. Different book ?

I am studying for ECE World Population Exam.

Yah I passed, but just barely with a 51 but its done and im happy.hilarious

I just read that Basket Weaver is going for the MS in Psychology from California Coast University like you. I read early on in your masters thread that you were anticipating up to 18 months to complete this, however it appears that you have been at it for only 6 months (Nov.-May) and are 2 courses shy. Are you really about to bust out an MS in a little over 6 months? Did you challenege any of the courses? Please give us the scoop. I will be graduating soon with a BS in Psych from Excelsior and I am intrigued about getting through an MS program like this as quick as possible.

In June 2006 I finally decided to go back to college and take it seriously for once. While I was determined, I thought that my graduation wouldn't happen until late 2008. I needed 60 credits to finish my B.A. In early November I finally got curious enough about CLEP tests to actually see what they were. I figured out that I there were CLEP and DANTES exams for 36 credits of the 60 I needed. Being in the military, they are free for me. I figured I'd attempt to take them all and if I was lucky I might knock off 4 or 5 classes. I even came up with the best case scenario: I'd pass enough exams to graduate in July 2007. That equated to 30 credits. The other 30 of the 60 I needed for residency. Fat chance of that happening, or so I thought.

After passing Principles of Management, Human Resources Management, and Organizational Behavior I realized how sweet of a deal testing could be. I still didn't think I'd pass that many though. I already knew the first three. Next came Statistics and in desperation for some kind of study material I happened upon InstantCert, and this message forum.

All I can say is WOW!!!

The material in the flashcards is second to none in my opinion. Its everything I needed to pass Stats and the remainder of my exams. Yet for as good as InstantCert is, I believe this message board is an even better resource. I wouldn't have kept with it as long as I did without the support of Iwannapass, Inteljustice, ShotoJuku, and Dhlvrsn just to name a few. The pointers, the encouragement, and a thousand other things kept me motivated to finish my "measly" 30 credits; when some of you guys have earned entire degrees.

Yesterday, I passed Microeconomics with a 59. Yesterday I also finished testing out of all the credit I needed to in order to graduate this July.

Thanks to everyone.

I received word today from Excelsior that I scored a "B" on Social Psychology. This completes my course requirements; Excelsior will send me my diploma next month.

I wanted to express my appreciation to the members of this forum for their constant support and encouragement, and to Steve for cranking out those valuable IC study guides; simply put--without IC, this would not have happened.

Now for the new news, I have decided to follow in Brian's footsteps and am enrolling in California Coast University to earn a Master's of Science in Psychology; I should start my first course next month once Excelsior gives them my degree transcript. It is a good general degree that will work for me as a manager, plus put a few more dollars in my pocket as well.

After all the whining I did about education being a business....there is no end to my hypocrisy.:o It seems my basket weaving days are not yet done
