Hi Everyone,

I am a newbie and wanted to introduce myself. I am 43 years old, divorced about 2 years ago, 2 kids. I am currently going to UOP so I can finally get my BS/BA. I am in the core of my program (which I can't CLEP out of unfortunately) that will be done February 2008. I was told by my advisor that I can CLEP out of my electives of which I still need 30 credits. I have never taken a CLEP exam before and was scared to because the study materials seemed so overwhelming that it just seemed easier to take the classes...until I discovered IC! Now I am studying for Human Growth and Development and hope to take it in January.

Anyway, I wanted to get everyone's opinion on what I plan to accomplish over the next year. I am taking 5 week long classes at UOP back-to-back, so it will be pretty intense, but I am hoping I can swing getting those extra 30 credits in before February 2008. Here is my list:

HG&D (3 credits)
Humanities (6)
American Government (3)
Biology (6)
Western Civilization I (3)
Western Civilization II (3)
U.S. History I (3)
U.S. History II (3)

I have taken Sociology, Intro to Psych, and Psychology of Personality, so I am not sure if Educational Psychology would be too much of an overlap and if they would let me take that one. I may have to ask them, and replace one of the other CLEP's. At any rate, I hope to complete one exam per month starting in January. The six credit tests scare me a bit, but I want so badly to get my Bachelor's in the next year.

Thoughts? Thanks!

I have recently, in the last three weeks, passed two CLEP exams. American Government (69) and Principles of Marketing (75). I am now thinking about taking Principles of Finance and Ethics in America through DSST. Are these exams deemed UPPER LEVEL at Excelsior?

Just a note to all Europe-bound forum members: Our school is one of the few in Europe to offer CLEP and DSST exams (both online), with quick turnaround appointments available. If you're interested, send me an email at

Thanks.

Greetings everyone. I've just recently completed my Princlples of Management CLEP, and the DSST for Human Resources Management and Organizational Behavior. I did this before I found instantcert on the web.

I'm currently going through the InstantCert notes for the Principles of Statistics. So far I'm assimilating it at a fairly rapid pace but I have one concern. I absolutely have to take the DSST for Statistics on the January 3. With only 2 and half week to prep and study, what other really good resources would anyone recommend that I can get my hands on fairly quick.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

hello everyone! hope xmas preparations have been going well! =]

i'm a little confused about the sending scores procedure for CLEP exams. does it cost extra to send the scores at the time of my exam or is it included in the exam fee? and if i want to now send past scores that haven't been sent anywhere before, does it cost $20, or is the $20 charged if the score has been sent before?

hope my questions aren't too confusing >.<

thanks! =]

I am planning on taking my first CLEP... Analyzing Lit. I just took the Peterson's practive exams and scored betwwen 65-73. Should I study anything else. Any advice or suggestions are appreciated.

Also, I plan on taking marketing. Is Instacert enough?

It's been over three weeks since I took the English Comp CLEP test, and still no test results. I realize it's close to the holiday season, but geez I thought I would have results by now.

Please , someone tell me how to get onto the exam page. I am going to take examsonline, but cannot connect to their respective exam page format. Thanks.

Ron

Has anyone taken this course? Any info on the exam?

I will be testing for Marketing for the SECOND time on January 17th. Anyone have any suggestions on specific areas that are covered more so than others regarding this test? I only missed it by two last time and I really need to pass this one. Oh and it's CLEP.

Thank you
Kat
