Just wanted to take a moment to reflect and thank everyone
In August 2006 I started a degree at the University of Phoenix; it took me about 7 months to get 15 credits units with and accumulated close to $7500 in student loans
And then I came across IC via Google search and it took me about another month or so before even discover or logon this forum.
One night I literally spent the whole night reading through pass threads and for the first in my twenty something years on this earth I heard about the Big three and testing out
I though it was too good to be true, but I went on and reached it and there was my miracle.
I immediately decided to drop out of UOP and started looking at EC, after some encouragement from the wonderful people on the forum I made my final decision and enrolled at EC.
Today just about two months in this exciting adventure I have gotten 15 more credit units between CLEP and Dantes in between work, travel and Vacation with an exact cost of $385 dollars
Compare 15 credits units 7+ months and &7500 in student loans to 15 credit units in two months cost $382 fully paid for.
What can I can I am so grateful, I know I still have a long way to go, but Boy I am walking on cloud 9 OH plus I have an extra 9 FEMA credits
I just want to say thank you everyone

Hey all you fellow exam takers,
I have a question for you... I have recently applied to Excelsior but I am waiting for them to process all my transcripts, so in the meantime, I need to have an idea regarding which tests I may need to take.
I have a 12 upper level credits from UOP such as Astronomy, Paradigms of Health, Human Motivation, and another I can't remember off hand. Even though these are upper level, they are not what I would call "Business" credits.
In your experience, would you say that these upper level courses count as upper level business credits at Excelsior? That would sure help if they did because I would CLEP the 3 lower level electives instead. I don't want these upper level courses to be counted as plain ole' electives.
How did Excelsior treat your upper level non-business related credits? ...If you've been in this situation.
Thanks in advance,

Hi:
Does anyone know what kind of a calculator you're allowed to use for the CLEP college math exam? I know you can use a non-programmable scientific type for the DANTES. Is it the same with CLEP, or do you just use a pocket calculator?
A response would be appreciated. I have to take this exam in a week, and I am very mathphobic. I've tested out of 100 plus credits so far, and have the CLEP math, DANTES Stats and TECEP research design left in order to complete my degree with Thomas Edison.
Any tips would be appreciated, I have saved the worst for last and am very nervous about these exams-passed the rest of the exams in 7 months but am procrastinating on these last two math related ones...
Thanks!

Well folks the time has finally arrived!! After more then 4 years and countless hours of studying and writing innumerable papers it boils down to a final Dantes test tommorow (Saturday April 21, 2007) to get 3 undergraduate credits so I can receive my Bachelor of Science in Business/Management degree.
It has not been a stroll in the park by any means, but hopefully all the stress and hard work will soon pay-off.
For me this was more of a personal achievement rather then a career altering decision, but I can only presume it will lead to opening or altering career changes down the road.
So the way it will hopefully play out is, I pass the test, get my results in a couple of weeks and after applying the credits, I receive my long awaited bachelorâs degree.
Well wish me luck! I NEED TO PASS!!!
