I am new here...

I have completed 105 hours of college credit through my hometown university (Marshall). I am ten upper division credits away but still need 13 lower division (doesn't matter which course). I have to actually take the 10 upper division hourse as testing is not accepted but I am wondering, knowing my circumstances, what CLEP exams would you recommend for the remaining 13 hours.

I am considering Information Systems and Computers to start as I have worked since 1993 on the business end of newspapers and use computers daily (I actually run my own website http://www.herdnation.com).

Any thoughts?

Your help is appreciated.

Hello everybody,

I am new here and have a question. I want to take the Introductory Psychology Clep test before Christmas and am studying the IC flashcards. In the opinion of the people here, is that enough to pass or do I need to get another resource? Thanks in advance for any help.

hello everyone,
i am studying like crazy for this test and even dream about it:o sometimes.Today i got more than 75% of the instantcert questions right and was feeling really confident...until.. i googled 'civil war battles chronological order' and i am perplexed now.
Many of the battles listed on most of the civil war websites sound different(except the very important ones) and there are so many that are not even mentioned on instantcert and then thirdly there are so many of them....:confused:
I don't know whether there will be questions on those smaller battles because i have no idea about them.I searched for Generals and again so many new names came up.
I don't know if this means i should have studied a textbook also but i want to take this exam soon..maybe Saturday or early next week and i am thoroughly confused.
Also in the instantcert guide every answer is explained in detail...i don't know if the minor details about each battle need to be known.
Please help :eek:

taking excelsior's psych of adulthood and aging this monday and i'm pretty nervous. i did a search on this and came up with some good feedback and tips on the test. one thread was from beckysharp on 9/12/06 and it gave a lot of the material covered. it mentions several questions on elderhostel... who is he?!
also, tertiary aging - what is that?
physical and social death - when and how used?
us population curve?
how long european americans live vs. african etc.?
african americans live the longest after living a certain age? i thought they had the lowest life expectancy?

went through all the ic material and did not come across this stuff.
can a/o enlighten me?

For the sake of comparison, I'm about to take the ECE exam Psychology of Adulthood and Aging using only Instacert. I've studied for about 3 hours so far and estimate that I will study another 6-8 hours before taking the test early next week. I will post the results as soon as i have them.

I've been trying to ascertain whether or not this will consistently produce a passing score. Already took DSST Civil War and studied EXTENSIVELY for many months using supplemental info as well. Scored very well but simply need a pass on my remaining exams. Took USSR the other day just using Instacert and Rudman and about 3 weeks study so I'll know around Xmas on that one and pass it on...

Taken
DSST Civil War (63)
DSST USSR (waiting)
Upcoming
ECE Psych of aging
ECE Geronotology
ECE Ab Psych
DSST: Drug & Alcohol

Then....DONE!!

I "applied" at Excelsior around the first week of November and had all my transcipts sent to them...I guess they are really backed up or something--still waiting on that eval, I even called them a week ago to ask some questions and they said they were almost done.

How long did they take for you?

Well folks, I'm signing over and out. Just took my last, Money and Banking, yesterday and that's it. Next step is to put in my graduation application at TESC and I will soon be the proud owner of a BSBA...finally!!

To everyone still on their journey, keep going, you can do it. I wish you all the best of luck in the future.

Merry Christmas!!

Thanks for the upgrades, Steve! Haven't played with all the new tabs/links, etc. but it looks like they are going to be a big help in being able to find good information quickly in this ever-growing, wonderful resource. Appreciate that you are being so on top of it.

Hello everyone,
I need to fufill Excelsior's english requirement and am totally confused about which exam would be best for me.
I am not a native english speaker and so i would like to opt for the easiest one of the 3: TECEP,ECE English Comp with Essay,ECE College Writing.
For the TECEP the biggest problem for me is that it is pass/fail.I have recd some enginnering credits(38.50) recently and because of those my GPA has fallen to 2.6 i have B's and C's in almost all those exams...
I do think i could do well on the College Writing exam because it has 3 essays and nothing else but i am worried about the topics.I heard one person had a topic on global warming and if was in his place i would'nt know what to writeMy general knowledge is not bad and i can write an average essay(i think)....but only on topics that i know a lot about:o
The ECE English Comp exam- I ahve heard a lot of negatives about this one..that it's too lengthy,challenging,etc...
I think i will do alright in the multiple choice section of this one and then there is just one essay with options.Also i believe the multiple choice questions could save me (i can get some right and guess on others)if i write a bad essay.
I need to take a decision soon because i need to register in order to take the exam in Jan.Please help me:confused:
