I took the test yesterday...All I did was the instantcert prep...Out of 103 questions, I was unsure of maybe 10...I think I almost aced it...

Does anyone know if Excelsior has a commencement in December? I've been searching their website, and it seems they only have it in July of each year. :confused:

[SIZE="2"]I am in desperate need of help, advice, and guidance in regards to finding and using the BEST prep materials for CLEP College Mathematics.

Here is the basic issue for me – math to me is like trying to read, decipher, and understand a foreign language. I see a multitude of numbers, letters, and otherwise nonsensical formulas that literally and figuratively do not add up.

Aside from using IC, I have both the “Pass Your Class” and “Comex” books plus purchased the CD/ROM for college mathematics along with a couple of DVD’s on pre-algebra and such. I have even scheduled time with a tutor from the local High School.

For those of you that have faced this exam and passed [B]what is the trick????[/B][/SIZE]

I'm not sure if anyone here would have the foggiest clue about this, but I figure it can't hurt to post this here as well. I posted it on degreeinfo.com already:

I almost have all of the required credits for my BA in Liberal Studies from Thomas Edison State College. Now I am looking to the future and wondering if I've screwed up. Almost all of my credits were earned via CLEP and DSST's. TESC doesn't offer GPA equivalents for such exams.

I've now come to understand that law schools generally accept students based upon GPA and LSAT score. If you consider the 8 community college credits I have counting toward my degree, I'm a 4.0 student. But that's only a small percentage of my credits and they're CC credits.

I've done reasonably well on all of my CLEP and DSST exams so far. The lowest score I'd have if I were in Excelsior for those would be a B. But I have no idea if that'll even matter. The vast majority are pass/fail at Excelsior too.

It seems to me that since I'm not trying to get into Harvard, as long as I do really well on the LSAT, it hopefully will make up for the "questions" of my degree type. Is that true? Do I *need* to do extremely well on the LSAT to have any shot at all at a good school? By good I'm thinking of something in the top 10 to top 30. Or do I not even have a shot there if I ACE the LSAT?

Anyone know about all of this? I'm trying to figure out how to proceed.

Thanks!

Ok, now that I passed my CLEP accounting I am ready for Business Law. Unfortunately I can't seem to find any Peterson free tests for it through the Airforce Website. Any of you guru's out there who can figure out how to get to the practice tests for it?

Thanks!

Ok, I really couldn't think of a good way to title this thread....sorry if it doesn't make sense...Anyway, here's what I am getting at:

I took some classes back in the day that were 4 and 5 credits. For example, I took Spanish I which was only 3 credits but then I took Spanish II which was 5 credits...add in my art class of 3 credits and I have 11 Humanities credits. Also, I took Biology with lab and Chemistry with lab for 4 credits a piece. There's another 8 credits that, when you add a 3 credit math class gives you 11 credits again. When looking over Excelsior's Gen Ed requirements for the History degree it says you need to meet a Humanities requirement, a Social Sciences/History requirement, and a Natural Sciences/Math requirement which are 9 credits for one, and 12 credits for each of the others (however you want to do it). That's where my problem lies...I have 11 credits for 2 of those groups. I want to be as efficient as possible in getting my degree so I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions (are there any 1 credit courses out there??) as to what I should do. I will probably just have to take another 3 credit elective exam for each area but I don't want to if I don't have to.

Does any of this make sense? Hopefully it does...

When I finish the "evil beastie" called College Math, I'll need eight more UL classes to finish my degree. I've already taken Civil War and Drugs and Alcohol. Can anyone recommend the easiest UL classes in the Arts and Science arena?

Has anyone taken the Excelsior History of Nazi Germany test? It is being discontinued in June but I want those 3 upper level history credits. I was hoping for some input from anyone that has attempted the exam...

A word to the wise, I goofed up and decided to take another Dantes course at the last minute and now Iam waiting for the University of Texas at Arlington to order the exam and they say it will take upwards of two weeks to get the test in. There's another reason to like Clep tests better. Not only waiting for the test to come in , but then for the score to get reported two and a half weeks following taking the test.

I know little about college rules so I will admit my stupidity but.....
If I get this Bachelors in General Business and THEN decide I want to get a Bachelors in Business Information Technology....can I just take the classes that are different, for example, the "concentration" subjects and use my core and other class credits toward that degree as well? Could I get another degree by getting..say another 40-60 credit hours?
