Hey everyone -

I'm back! I took a break because I got burned out. But I have a new wonderful boyfriend and he says I should finish. So I passed Buis Law, Prin of Sociology and just two days ago I got a 60 (passing is 46) on Prin of Supervision (DSST).

Now I am working on my final exam - Money and Banking, which was the only DSST test I failed. I failed by three points last August after studying for a week - I didn't realize it would be on a much harder level than the other DSST exams I took. Now I'm writing EVERYTHING down from instacert and am going to know it cold.

My question for this post is, the last time I took Money and Banking, the DSST exams WERE NOT computerized. So I am assuming this will be a *new* test with *new* questions, correct? (I know the computerized Buis math was different form the written exam). Also, has anyone taken the computerized Money and Banking? How was it?

Many thanks, guys.

The questions you have (mine included), for the most part, have been asked a hundred times before. Do everyone a favor, including yourself, and use the search function. It will instantly give you the answer you seek and keep the rest of us from reading the same questions over and over and over and over...ect

I hear the Humanities CLEP is like studying for the SAT's - a lot of it is information you should just know. Is this true? I took the practice test in the CLEP site and didn't do too bad.

Can anyone give me any suggestions for the Humanities CLEP? I'm taking it next Tuesday.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,
I'm just getting started and had a question. I'm in Iraq right now and can only take a limited number of tests. My education center only offers English Comp w/o Essay, rather than the more common English Comp with Essay. Does anyone know if Thomas Edison will accept this for their english requirements? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

Has anyone used the Anneberg series "Growing Old in a New Age" to prepare for Foundations of Gerontology and Psychology of Adulthood and Aging. I want to know if it's worth it before I invest 13 hours of watching it .

Does anyone know how Clep and DSST affect ones status for financial aide grants like the Pell?

Hi,

I've been stuyding for the Biology CLEP and I am due to take it on Thursday. Has anyone taken it, or knows enough about it that they can share what I should focus on to get the highest score?

Thanks

I have been struggling with passing a science and finally passed Race for the Environment DSST with 54. I used IC, Pass Your Class and the DSST Practice tests.

While science was required for me, everything else is an elective so I'll be off to more testing straight away.

This forum and site was how I got through it all and Abby thanks for the advice on the DSST tip for studying with the parctice tests.

I passed, barely, with a 56. This was by far the hardest CLEP exam I have taken... but it was hard only because of my infamiliarity with much of the subject. I used IC and the Peterson practice tests. I scored pathetically on the Patterson tests (50%), but took the exam anyways.

Anyone looking at passing this exam needs to really know:

Louis XIV Reign
French Revolution
Tenents of Napoleon's reign
English Legal History (Bill of Rights, Reform Act)
Understand England's transition of power (Charles I, James II, William the Orange).
Understand Bismarck and the Berlin Conference
Understand Austria-Hungary and their role in the 19th century and WWI
Concepts of Russia's struggle with the people, technology, and always being "behind the rest of the world" (my phrase)
Understand basic concepts of WWII - Who started it, what happened afterwards
Understand basic concepts of WWI - Who started it, why, what happened afterwards.

If you're not very familiar with the timeline of Western Civilization... and how France, England, Russia, (and eventually Germany, Italy, and Austria) played together... you'll need more help than IC can offer.

If you pick up on key concepts quickly and can put together a timeline in your head, then IC will work fine.

I'm ticked off. No, not because I didn't pass but I couldn't take the test! This past Monday I called the testing center at Washtenaw Community College (Ann Arbor, MI) and scheduled the test for 9am this morning.

I go to the testing center this morning and there is a sign on the door. "Testing Center closed until 11am due to Staff Meeting". No one informed me of this when I scheduled my exam and not one person made an effort to call me this week. Thus.....I'm ticked. :mad:

I couldn't wait until 11am because my wife and I have plans today. The testing center is getting an earful from me on Monday.
