I am so close- I have one final exam to take tomorrow in a gender roles traditional course, self paced, and 4 assignments to submit in another self paced sociology course, plus the final.

It is hard not studying towards a test. I can hardly make myself write these long, laborious essays, even though the material is very interesting.

Plus, it is taking IU awhile to process all my CBE results. I know I passed all those exams, achieving the needed scores for IU, but it takes awhile to go through the registrar. It's discouraging to get an "updated plan of study" that only shows about half of my exam credits.

The other day I just photocopied all my official print out results and sent them on so at least the registrar would know what was coming eventually.

It's like I have CBE withdrawal. I will finish everything, despite my whining.

I will take my last traditional course exam by the end of October, perhaps on Halloween!
:eek:

Sorry to have been away from the board. I have had so many family events going on, plus computer issues, (I couldn't remember my password, as I normally am automatically logged in).

Good job everybody! It is amazing to log on and see how much everyone has achieved!

Any tips, websites or advice on writing a resume? It is necessary for my application for my masters program. I have never had to write one, so any help/advice would be great. Thanks.

Hello forum-
I am taking ECE college writing this Friday (6/Oct) at 2:00 this week. :confused: I have to make a drive of two hours just to get to the Pearson testing center, and it's a bit nerve racking thinking about it, considering what I've read. I think I can make it, but only time will tell.

I went through the threads and found invaluable information on this test, and I have practically memorized some of these threads. I am going to a strange testing center, far away, with no proctor that I will recognize, to take a test that may possible be the hardest yet. I'll be praying hard on Friday!:o

okie, my book for management is STILL not here and i'm almost done with the IC studying so i'm starting to get a little pissed with the seller. but so as to not kill my much-needed braincells with pointless anger, i might as well use my brain to productively plan my next exam.

so...i know some people have been awesome and given me tips on how to study for the us history subjects. however, i must ask again esp for those that just took a us history clep exam recently...

which one is easier?

"easier" as in more facts and less concepts. my brain is more like a word processor; it only likes to copy and paste. ask it to do more like analyzing, and it'll give you an error message.

thanks so much you guys! =]

are most of them multiple choice? I am looking at the practice questions and they are fill in. One answer was 18-25 and I put 18-24.

Thanks

For those who are going to take DSST tests, you better go ahead and order those DSST test you are planning to take, to-day. I just got an email that DSST is going to increase their test price beginig October 1st, 2006.
The new test will be $70 each. So if you should take some DSST exam you can go ahead and order them to-day and schedule them later. You have more than a month to take them after test center got your test and call you to schedule for exam date.

[SIZE="2"][COLOR="Navy"]Many, if not most of the IC members are currently working on, nearing completion or have recently completed their Bachelors Degree using the dynamic resources of InstantCert but just how many plan on or actually are going on to graduate level school?

I'll be 47 next month and just completed my Bachelors degree last month yet I feel strangely compelled to continue onward to the next level. At first I planned on sitting back, celebrating my accomplishment and "thinking" about pursuing a Masters degree in "several months." Since that time, just a few weeks ago, my perspective has changed significantly as I have boldly (perhaps foolishly) decided to enroll at California Coast University to tackle the Master of Science - Psychology degree.

Am I a glutton for punishment or what?

So I ask - just how many are planning on and willing to jump in the deep end too? I'll be the one madly treading water - [/COLOR][/SIZE]

Professional student finally has Bachelors degree in reach Just three upper level exams left to take until I am finished with my Excelsior BS in Liberal studies degree. I am so happy; I discovered the Big Three and finally took the leap into the world of testing!
I plan to take the following three exams to get across the finish line (BS Degree)...

Civil War
Drug & Alcohol Abuse
Abnormal Psychology

I am also planning on taking the follwoing exams as back up;
Psychology of Adulthood and Aging
DSST Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union

I plan to take the exams below just because, I think I could pass them all with a little study combined with the fact these exams won't cost me and money since they are free to military members. Then maybe I get and additional BS or BA degree.
Introductory Psychology
CLEP Introductory Sociology
CLEP Introduction to Educational Psychology
CLEP Business law
Dantes Business law II
CLEP U.S. History I: Early Colonizations to 1877
CLEP U.S. History II: 1865 to the Present
CLEP Western Civilization I: Ancient Near East to 1648
CLEP Western Civilization II: 1648 to the Present
DSST Art of the Western World
DSST Western Europe since 1945
DSST An Introduction to the Modern Middle East
DSST A History of the Vietnam War
DSST Foundations of Education

Wish me luck!

Hi all,

After 11 CLEPS and 4 DANTES tests since I started in late June, I have finished all testing that I need. Well, I may have to take 1 more test, but I won't know that until I finished with all of my accounting courses. Just 7 courses to go and I'll be completely finished with my BS in Accounting. It sure does feel good to be close to finishing.

Hello All, I have found a testing center that has the DSST Internet-Based Testing (IBT) available. It is at Trevecca College just outside of Nashville, Tn.
I will be taking the CJ DSST and the HGD CLEP tests on Thursday. All the DSST's are not available but they are getting there. No waiting 5 WEEKS! for a score report. I used IC and Petersons for the HGD and IC for Criminal Justice. Criminal Justice seems to be somewhat easy and HGD a little tougher but I think I have them down.

For anyone that lives close to Nashville here is the link to the college testing center: http://www.trevecca.edu/academics/academ...sting.html

I'll report back with the results.

BTW Thanks to all who post to this forum, the information has been EXTREMELY helpful and I will continue to read and post occasionally to "give some back" Thanks Again
