[SIZE="3"][COLOR="Navy"]Being an Excelsior College student getting ready to graduate (May, 2006) I came across an interesting thread on the college website that can be found in the Electronic Peer Network under the "student union." The thread is actually entitled "default topic" and currently addresses the quality (or lack thereof) of the Excelsior College Diploma.

From what I've read, many former, recent, and soon to be graduates are upset and disappointed about the look, style, and feel of the diploma and would like to see it changed to a more professional look. I agree.

So, if any fellow Excelsior alumni out there would like to see a change for the better too, log onto the Excelsior website today and contribute to the thread. Hope to see you at commencement in July![/COLOR][/SIZE]

Can anyone tell me if there are any practice test sites available for the Civil War upper level course? Thanks!

Ran across this on the CLEP website. They are doing away with the 6 credit test and going to a 3 credit test for accounting. Here is the link

I'm planning on taking the following exams and wanted to know if anyone has ever passed them and what material was used if you did:

Organizational Behavior
Environment and Humanity: The Race to Save the Planet
Management Information Systems
Human Resource Management

Much appreciative.

ME!!!!!! Yes my first two Dantes tests results came in and they are:

HERE'S TO YOUR HEALTH...56
DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE ...51

Used only Instantcert. I knew more correct answers than the scores show, but I was getting flustered by the Dantes format and made dumb mistakes!!
But, here's the best ....I PASSED AND I have just 3 courses to go !! Yippeee!

Hey,
Does anyone know if the Principles of Finance test comes with a calculator? Also, do they provide Financial tables, I.E. PVIF, FVIF, PVIFA, and so on...

How does the test compare with Instantcert material?

Thnx, wish me luck

What History CLEP is the easiest? Instead of taking the Social Sciences and History exam, I opted to take Sociology and History. I passed the Sociology, and I’m now looking to study for the History portion.

Which of the History exams would be easier for me to pass, using InstantCert?

Thanks

I've already taken and passed analyzing and interpreting literature. I'm not asking about that one...

I know that Instantcert doesn't have any literature CLEP guides, but has anyone else here taking either of these? I need another lower level literature credit (since I moved Analyzing and interpreting to my major--considered upper level credit for some reason [????]). I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for study, guides to point me to, wisdom about how easy or hard it is, etc.

And Steve, if you could create a set of flashcards for either of these, I'll bet they'd be popular. 6 credits each is pretty spiffy.

Thanks!

Has anyone taken or is preparing to take this exam? I am looking for information on what books I need if any and how others are preparing for this exam. Thanks all.

I have been following this site for a while and am now looking to take some tests. I have been going to TESC last year but will do the rest by testing out and then enroll at COSC.
The problem is that i live in Europe for the next year or so and taking a Clep or Dantes here is not easy. Basically the only place reasonable is in the UK and it cost too much. Plus they only offer testing 2 days a year!!

SO i will coming over this fall for 2 weeks and taking as many tests as i can. I will be in either NYC or Portland, OR.
Is there a limit on how many test i take at a site per day? I think i remember one have a rule about 2 a day. If i took some easy ones i was hoping to do 3+. So i was thinking about doing 2 at one site and then going to another in the afternoon and doing another there....

ALso do sites charge thier own test fees as well as the Clep and Dantes test fees....


Thanks for any info you can give....
