For anyone planning on taking the DSST Principles of Finance test, I wanted to give out the following 3 tips:

1. Be prepared to answer a LOT of questions about NPV (Net Present Value) and know how to calculate it.

2. There are several questions regarding Options, which I was not prepared for.

3. There were at least three questions regarding EOQ, or economic ordering quantity, which I knew absolutely nothing about! So study up on that.

I don't know how many different versions there are for each test, but I imagine that all of them would have questions on all three of these areas.

Good luck!

Any advice? There is a huge amount to cover from 1880 on...Any concentration areas? I'm taking the test Thursday (I take a test a week) so any hints would be a huge help...

Greetings,

A newbie to the forum and the path of credit by exam.

Wondering if anyone can give a "rule of thumb" regarding CLEP/DANTE/etc. books publishers.

In otherwords, being a simple creature, I really do not care to research study guides for every single exam. I would much prefer to simply get my study guides from one place, ie. REA, Peterson, etc.

That said, does any one have opinions on one publisher over another? Obviously, it would be nice to find consistent material.

For my path, I have 11 CLEPS and 13 Dantes to do.

Suggestions?
Thanks
John Foy

I thought that it would be helpful to compile a list of online resources other than IC that can be used to pass exams, especially UL (ECE) exams. For example the following online resources have been mentioned here for a variety of exams:

Wikipedia.org
Sparkchart.com

Any others?

How are those new Ethics questions coming? I think that you originally said end of March. I will be taking the ECE version shortly and would love to know if these could help. Please advise

I am planning on taking the Sociology CLEP exam in a couple weeks. I am wondering if anyone knows of any resources to help with the statistical questions. For example: All of the following statements are true regarding the relationship between age and poverty in the United States, EXCEPT…… Thanx! :o

How does this work? I went from a Minor Noble to a Squire.

Can I get the same momentum to allow me to go from College Senior to a Graduate?

Oh, if it were only that easy...

[SIZE="3"].....Taken -AND- Passed CLEP-College Mathematics yet??? [/SIZE]:confused:

[SIZE="2"]I am scheduled to take this exam next Friday (5/1) and it is the VERY LAST EXAM needed for my degree. Math has never been, or will ever be a strength, yet I MUST PASS it in order to walk the walk in July

So, is there anyone here in the IC group that can lend whatever insights as to the "overall difficulty" of the exam and as to what to focus on strongly as I head into what I hope is my last week of school.

Whatever you've got will be very much appreciated!!!

Thanks in advance!![/SIZE]

Thought you might get a chuckle out of seeing how some profit from Cold War history.

My husband designed these "Cold War Unicorns" for his company.

Ok, I hope I don't sound like a moron but everyone here is so helpful and friendly that I feel like you are all my friends. I mean, on so many other message boards and forums people can get so damn nasty and mean. Here, it is not like that at all. Even if the same question gets asked repeatedly you all answer away like its nothing. I respect that!

I am a 30 year old who has just joined the addicting world of myspace and was wondering if anyone here also has a page there. If so, I'd like to have you all as my "friends". Trust me, myspace isn't just for kids!!!!!!! Anyway, my page is at http://www.myspace.com/rjc311 . Feel free to post yours or just add me as a friend.

Hope to see u all there!

Robert (yes...another Robert )
