Rats!!! Missed the 'boat" on knowing this info 20 years ago!

If you are a Veteran with MGIB, did you know you can get reimbursed for CLEP and other tests now? I thought it was only active duty who could get them free but was apparently wrong.

Hi all,

Since the test center had a opening and I had the time I went ahead and took US History 1 this morning also. Passed with a 65. There were more questions on women's roles and concerns than I had expected but other than that I think that IC was plenty. The breakdown of the exam on collegeboard.com was right on the money. As someone else has said-this is a broadbased exam. So knowing the major people and events is the key.

I've looked over the requirements for Excelsior's Bachelor of Science in General Business and on of them actually gives me some concern...its in reguard to the english requirement. I seem to recall that Excelsior will not accept any form of Exam Credit other than its own ECE exam. Is this true? Is there no other way to satasfy the requirement? Any help is greatly valued.

Not too much to be said that already hasn't been. The key to this test (besides taking the practice tests and studying the literature terms) is to read passages once, quickly, and carefully. At first, I found myself re-reading passages and remembered the warnings here about doing just that. I quickly changed my strategy and glanced through the questions/answers first, read the material (the answers usually jump out at you) then answered the questions. This way, I was able to end with 10 minutes to spare. There were two poems that I had great trouble understanding what planet they were from, much less what they were talking about (not a big fan of this crap). The rest were written so you could at least understand the subject matter and get the just of the story's intent. All in all, not a bad test and I would have to say a pass. Still nothing on the other 5 tests I've taken, but word on the street is the base received a bunch in; hopefully I should know something soon. I spent an entire 6 hours preparing for this test using Peterson's practice CLEPS

http://www.petersons.com/testprep/code/prompt.asp?sponsor=8&referer_type=EG&test_id=107 (CODE FL5518)

and Collegeboard's website's practice test (50 questions). Not needed if you do all 3 of the Peterson's tests.

Next on the block is World Population next Thursday. I'll start filling in my scores
once the results come in. Lee

I am scheduled for American Government on 8/16 and after that, I have one more elective to CLEP. What do you guys think would be a good choice? I am an accounting major so I need something fairly simple since these classes are more difficult as I am senior.

Thanks in advance or the advice

Well,

It was challenging. I think I passed, will find out in 2 wks.

For anyone going to take it soon, have an understanding of ALL the subject matter from IC and the DSST book. Know your theories well.

Will post results as soon as I get them.

Okay, have read through a lot of information, maybe too much. I am a little confused.

So far I have taken my dantes, clep test and have not applied to a college as of yet. Waiting until I am just about there and go through excelsier probably with in the year and get my degree and will be finished. So I have a few questions after I have read the information I have seen on this site...

1.) Do you have to apply to TESC to have your FEMA credit transfered through them? Do you only transfer those credits from TESC and pay the $250 for those or do you transfer all your credits from colleges, dantes and clep through them also? And excelsior does take these credits through TESC (say I am getting 10 of them)? Is there more involved in this whole process besides just the $250?

2.) Do any of these FEMA test cancel out other dantes or clep test? I don't want to take a dantes is one of the FEMA test are going to be issued the same credit.

3.) These credits do apply to the applied professional lower level credits? That is all I need for lower level and do not want to take something that I do not need, even know they sound extremely easy?

4.) Will these credits from FEMA test be good in a year if they do close up shop?

So, with all that in question, how exactly do you go about doing all of this? My brain is fried and the lack of sleep is catching up so I guess I need this all in "Intro to dummies" form.

Thanks in Advance!

I have 10 lower level classes/test to take and hopefully after tomorrow I will only have 8 left(taking Intro to Computing and Information Systems and Computer Applications tomorrow a.m. WISH ME LUCK!!!). So...my question to you all is WHAT test should I go for next? Anyone taken any of these listed below and how do you think it was?

CLEP-

Principles of Management
Principles of Marketing


Dantes-

Human Resource Management
Introduction to Law Enforcement
Principles of Supervision
Introduction to Business
Business Mathematics
Personal Finance
Fundamentals of Counseling
Principles of Financial Accounting

So let me have them guys, hoping that I can get about 5 more test(or more) done before Chirstmas.
