  CLEP sociology
Posted by: misslynz - 05-13-2006, 02:39 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (3)

I am planning on taking the Sociology CLEP exam in a couple weeks. I am wondering if anyone knows of any resources to help with the statistical questions. For example: All of the following statements are true regarding the relationship between age and poverty in the United States, EXCEPT…… Thanx! :o

  Minor noble, Squire etc
Posted by: beckysharp - 05-12-2006, 10:20 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (7)

How does this work? I went from a Minor Noble to a Squire.

Can I get the same momentum to allow me to go from College Senior to a Graduate?

Oh, if it were only that easy...

  Has anyone actually ever.....

[SIZE="3"].....Taken -AND- Passed CLEP-College Mathematics yet??? [/SIZE]:confused:

[SIZE="2"]I am scheduled to take this exam next Friday (5/1) and it is the VERY LAST EXAM needed for my degree. Math has never been, or will ever be a strength, yet I MUST PASS it in order to walk the walk in July

So, is there anyone here in the IC group that can lend whatever insights as to the "overall difficulty" of the exam and as to what to focus on strongly as I head into what I hope is my last week of school.

Whatever you've got will be very much appreciated!!!

Thanks in advance!![/SIZE]

Ok, I hope I don't sound like a moron but everyone here is so helpful and friendly that I feel like you are all my friends. I mean, on so many other message boards and forums people can get so damn nasty and mean. Here, it is not like that at all. Even if the same question gets asked repeatedly you all answer away like its nothing. I respect that!

I am a 30 year old who has just joined the addicting world of myspace and was wondering if anyone here also has a page there. If so, I'd like to have you all as my "friends". Trust me, myspace isn't just for kids!!!!!!! Anyway, my page is at http://www.myspace.com/rjc311 . Feel free to post yours or just add me as a friend.

Hope to see u all there!

  Taking Drug & Alcohol Abuse Tomorrow - Help
Posted by: angie - 05-11-2006, 04:16 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (4)

I am taking Drug and Alcohol DSST tomorrow. I'm just wondering if anyone has any questions that they recall needing to know that might be out of the ordinary, helpful suggestions, etc. This is my first Dantes in over 4 years so I'm a little out of practice, but I'm concerned about the pass/fail ratio for this test. I hope I've studied enough (and the right stuff too).

Thoughts, suggestions, etc welcome!!

Thanks,

Angie

  Micro CLEP
Posted by: swthing64 - 05-10-2006, 09:52 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (3)

I am about 10 days away from my Microeconomics CLEP exam. Has anyone taken this one and if so, can you offer any suggestions on which topics to focus on, etc.? And also, did you study exclusively via IC or did you supplement with a textbook or other? Thanks in advance.

  What test to study 1st?
Posted by: steve63211 - 05-09-2006, 08:14 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (1)

Here is the deal I have 13.68 lower division credits remaining and of that I need 3 humanities and the rest are electives. I am looking at the 6 credit clep and human growth in development. Which one is the easiest to study for and if you have taken one or both was IC the only thing you used and how long did you study for. I am somewhat familiar with the questions in the humanity flash cards.

  Over-studying?
Posted by: swthing64 - 05-09-2006, 05:32 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (31)

I first used Instacert when studying for the Business Law CLEP last fall. I also used the Barron's Law book to study for this exam. I probably spent about 3-4 weeks of studying and passed it with a score of 53. That was my first CLEP exam.

I am now preparing for my second CLEP - Microeconomics. I will take the exam a week from Friday. I have been studying for a few weeks now from a college Microeconomics textbook. I've been taking notes like crazy according to what's required on the CLEP study guide for this subject. I have also started the Instacert studying this week.

I understand the CLEP exams are a pass/fail which a minimum score needed of 50 to pass. The problem I think I am having is that I am over-studying. I also felt that way when I was studying for Business Law but 'only' passed with a 53. I'm a bit nervous going into the Micro CLEP exam. It seems like I have this mindset as I'm studying that I 'need' to know ALL the answers and I am pretty hard on myself to really cram this material into my head. I suppose the goal is to study EVERYTHING related to the topic, and shown on the CLEP study guides, but I've noticed some people study for much shorter periods and get pretty decent scores (compared to my 53 in Business Law after studying, what I thought, was my tail off).

Any suggestions on how to make it easier? Or...how to not feel like I 'need' to get 100% of the questions correct? I really studied my heart out for Business Law and passed but would like to strive to get a higher number on the Micro exam. Any suggestions from those who have been through a few CLEPs? What made it easy? What made it hard in terms of studying the material?

  CLEPS and this site
Posted by: Banta - 05-09-2006, 05:12 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (6)

Hello all,

I'm getting ready to take my first CLEPs in a little while (aiming for the College Mathematics and Humanities to start), and I'm wondering how well do the questions on this site represent the difficulty of the CLEPs? If it's at all comparable, then I feel I'm in pretty good shape.

I have the "Cracking the CLEPS" and the CLEPS general advice book(can't recall exactly what it's called) on order right now and they should be arriving shortly.

Also, on the advice of a member of this board (you know who you are!), I'm wondering whether anyone here is going the all test route with Excelsior College and more specifically, aiming for a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. If so, anything you could tell me about your process would be of great help. I have a general outline of tests that I want to take, but I want to make sure that it fits the all the requirements.

Thanks in advance to all who reply!

~Terry
