Question regarding "field trial test questions" |

Does anyone really know for sure how many of the dsst questions or clep questions really count in the grading equation? I know they both " field test" certain questions on each exam, but how many? I found taking the dsst exams interesting in that they have a hundred or more questions and yet require you to only score a 48 or 49 on most tests. Does that really mean that each question only counts one point or are they " field testing " ten or so and really grading you on 90 or so questions. I keep track on a scratch sheet how many questions I know I have right and usually when i get up around 50 or more I feel safe ...yet Iam not sure whether there is some curve factor out there that will ultimately zing me and six months later I can test again. Anyone know for sure..thanks.

Steve
Can you please clarify this quote from your website:"To build proficiency in the subject matter, [B]familiarize yourself with the phrasing and difficulty level and to help you choose exam subjects where you have the highest possibility of passing". [/B]I noticed after taking a couple of clep exams that instantcert does not cover a lot of areas on the clep exams i.e. when I recently took the US history 2 clep exam there were only 40 questions that were covered by instantcert is this enough to pass?
Thanks

I recommend creating DSST, CLEP and Excelsior Forums in addition to General Education.
While this will require additional administration it will assist in keeping the same topics being repeated over and over again cluttering up the General area.

DSST: Principles of Public Speaking |

Just took the Public Speaking test this morning. I used passyourclass book and flashcards which were of little help. Out of the 84 questions maybe 15 -20 were part of the book and flashcards. This was one of the more difficult test I took. My speech topic that was given to me was drug testing, pretty easy one. If I passed this one, luck is on my side. Will find out in 3-4 weeks.

Does anyone have any advice for me for this test? I have studied two weeks so far using mainly InstantCert and also reading some textbooks (Cliffnotes). I decided to put it off another week because of low scores on practice tests. I don't know how I'm studying wrong. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

Looking to continue my quest for a BA by transferring to Excelsior. But, their info is so confusing, it drives me crazy.
Any brief versions for me on estimated costs for admission etc? I know the costs for tests, just curious how much they charge for getting the degree from them.
Also, how do you go about taking the ECE exams? Can you take them on line or something?
Thanks!
Christa

I would like to take a PEP exam (British/American literature 2327 or something). Any idea where I can take the PEP? Can't find any info on it on the internet so it must have changed names?
Also, I am interested in taking AP Biology. Anybody study for this using Instantcert CLEP prep?
Thanks!
Christa
