I was just wondering what the age range is for everyone taking this road less traveled, and what started the journey?!?

I am 24 and took 1 year of traditional college (it was enough for me!!) I heard about CLEP and accelerated learning at a homeschool conference. It took me about 3 years to actually start CLEPing and now I am hooked! (American Government and A&I Literature tomorrow, American History 1&2 in 3-4 weeks)

So the question is what else do you guys do other than school. What are your intrests. After all this is the none degree related forum... So why are we talking about degrees and school things here? IDK just a random thought

Exactly, what is CLEP and DANTES? How do they benefit?

What does it mean, when a course is lower or upper?

If i pass the exam, my units go straight to my nearest certified college. What will it say on my transcript if i passed a certain class?

On my college catalog, it explains how i need english 114, then english 115. Taking the english CLEP and passing it, i won't need to take my junior colleges english classes?

Thank you,
Dante

I have a good understanding of Algebra, but I am wondering how may questions you have to answer correctly to get a 50. With only sixty questions on the test but only 90 minutes, I am concerned.

I scored a 590 on the GRE Psychology exam (earned 9LL credits) a year ago studying for only 3 weeks. I used only the Princeton Review "Cracking the GRE Psychology". Now that all of these Psychology cards are available I'm wondering if the Princeton Review book (very concise), plus studying ALL of the IC LL and UL Psychology cards would be enough to score in the 80th percentile. Somebody needs to try it. Imagine 30credits (12LL, 18UL) on one exam!!! Also, imagine how much money would be saved. I think the exam cost was only $150!

It's all free, just click and watch.

This site really helped me through Macroeconomics and it will soon help me with Money and Banking too.

I learn quicker and easier by watching than by reading. This is GREAT STUFF!!

OK....anybody that knows how to use this calculator, please chime in on this, cuz I can't seem to figure out how to compute this problem on my calculator (the $200K option over 5 years). Please advise.

A man wins a sweepstakes giving away one million dollars. He has two options for receiving the money; he can either take two hundred thousand dollars a year for five years or $747,300 now. With a discount rate of 6%, which option has the higher present value?


A) $747,300 now
B) Annual payments of $200,000 for 5 years
C) The present value cannot be computed from the information given
D) Both have equal present values





Detailed Explanation:
Annual payments of $200,000 for 5 years.

$842,472.76 = 200000[(1/.06) - (1/(.06(1.06^5)))]

Present Value = Annual Fixed Payments[(1/interest rate) - (1/(interest rate((1+interest rate)^number of years)))]

To find the present value of the $200,000 annual payments for 5 years, we must plug it in the equation above. We plug in the discount rate in place of the interest rate, and we get the answer $842,472.76. When this is compared to $747,300, which is the present value of one million dollars in 5 years at a 6% discount rate, the annual payments have a higher present value.

Another option to solve this problem, is to use the “present value of an annuity” table. Multiply $200,000 with 4.2124, which we get when we look for 6% and 5 years, and we get $842,480. This is not an exact answer, but it is close enough to determine that the present value of the annual payments is considerably higher than the one-time payment.

I'm currently taking a Statistics course at TESC that is VERY difficult to me. The instructor will not answer questions and instead, directs us to ask our fellow classmates. It is the blind leading the blind...

HAS ANYONE TAKEN THE STATISTICS DSST EXAM? I'm interested to know if it's mainly concepts and terms or more of actual problems? Thanks for your help!

I am enrolling there next month for the MBA in Project Management does anyone have any experience with the below statement i found on thier site?
Does this mean that you can test out of 18 credits towards your masters by exam? How would this be proctored? I guess I should be asking them which im going to send them an email right now.
Thanks!

Students who believe that they have already mastered the content of an Aspen University course may document their mastery by means of a proficiency exam which may be taken for credits that may be transferred into Aspen University degree or certificate programs.

Students who desire credit by these exams should proceed according to the following procedures:


1. Identify the course within the degree or certificate program.

2. Enroll online, selecting "Credit by Exam" as the method of study.

3. Acquire the textbook required for the course. These books can be purchased through the Aspen University on-line bookstore.

After we receive your enrollment you will be sent instructions from the registrar on how to proceed.

Once the exam is graded, the student will be awarded either a ‘P’ [pass] or a ‘U’ [unsat] grade. A ‘P’ will justify the transfer of credit for the course chosen into the degree or certificate program. A ‘U’ will require the student to enroll and successfully complete the course on-line to receive credit.

Students must pay the normal tuition cost plus the cost of the textbook(s) for CBE.

It appears that this exam (paper form) takes most people 3+ hours. If that is the case I hope they either reduced the amount of questions or made the test easier if they expect us to take it timed now. Any thoughts?
