Folks,

I've been talking to my community college about accepting ACE reviewed courses and also starting a test center for CLEP/DSST. The school has requested a meeting with me this Thursday, June 21. I have accumulated a lot of information but would like to hear from you. Any advice, documents, web links or anything else that you think might help me in presenting ACE, CLEP and DSST to the administrators, counselors and dean, would truly help.

Wish me luck, this can be a game changer at my local CC. All I want to do is help others.

I have been taking ASL classes for about a year, with the goal of becoming certified as an interpreter. It occurred to me that I may be able to get credit as a foreign language for my coursework. The question is, how?

Has anyone here successful at being awarded credit for ASL? If so, how did you do it?

I'm a little worried when I open up the TESC cost calculator. It tells me a lot of strange things. First, if you look at their fees page, it says the enrollment is $2958 for international students
Thomas Edison State College: Enrolled Options Plan
If you go to their calculator, it says it costs: $4011

It's strange because on their webpage, it says out-of-state residents and international students are charged the same, but on the calculator, they are not. Anyone think this is strange?

Also, on that page it says enrolled students (not in nj) pay $221/credit, and yet the calculator says it's a whopping $398

I noticed if i selected out-of-state, it tells me it costs $212. Perhaps policies have changed and it's not updated?

In the course of my study for the M&B exam I'm putting together an excel spreadsheet of flashcards covering all the information in IC plus all the questions mentioned in the specific exam feedback section for the M&B exam. The following are the ones that I can't seem to find the answer to (at least not easily) so I'm hoping that some of you may know. After my exam I'll attach my spreadsheet in the exam feedback section so anyone can just print out flashcards covering all of IC info plus almost all of the exam specific feedback questions that are mentioned.

OK I know I'm being really lazy with this last question but

GDP= 400 billion. Consumption ratio= 3/4 . What will be the investment
needed to get GDP to 440 billion.


Please help answer these questions so I can get some piece of mind. An explanation of your answer would be nice as well if you could spare the time. I appreciate it.

Are there many choices for this? At TESC they have a few math courses, and most of them are online, however I am just curious about the other options. TESC often uses proctorU for their tests, so you can have an entirely online course, without a need to sit an exam or anything. Any other choices, it would be great if textbooks were available in ebook form as well.

I wasn't sure if I should post this here or off topic, but I am about to complete PSY-379 Social Psychology and will be selling my books. I bought them new in April and paid $280. They have no markings and were barely used.

Great testing site! Just had to give them props on this board for making our first CLEP experience so positive. The building was easy to find with plenty of parking. It's a beautiful yellow "house" that looks like it came right off the East Coast--appears freshly restored with a gorgeous interior/exterior. Their website for CLEP registration was easy to follow and the staff available by phone to confirm your preferred day and time was available. The staff, Denise and Angelina (?), were very helpful with our nervous 8th grade students. We called them several times in the days before the test to ask questions and they were always very kind.

There are four private testing rooms, each with their own computer. Test takers had small lockers available for valuables and cell phones. There was a lobby for us to wait in and plenty of restaurants and a Starbucks nearby. The only glitch was the noise level in some rooms--I guess the walls are "thin" and sometimes test takers can hear people talking in the hallway or in the nearby staff room. Denise seemed very aware of that though (she was the one who mentioned it) and tried to place our students in rooms that were not bordering the hallway. We came early in the morning so the hallway was pretty quiet. Only one of our students said she heard people talking during her exam but it didn't really bother her. Our adult test taker brought ear plugs just in case but she didn't need them. Although she came away with a packet of info about the university--she was that impressed with their building, staff and programs! Overall, a great experience and we will definitely use them again when we CLEP.

I'm curious about this, since they offer 12-week programs, essentially finishing in 3 months. Do you think it's too heavy of a load to be doing 3 at a time? I currently work part time, between 20-30 hours a week. How much time do you actually spend on these courses, on a regular basis? Any help/comments would be really appreciated.

I'm trying to map out my last 11 courses to wrap up my BS degree w/Excelsior and besides Intro To Religions, has anyone taken any other UL Humanity courses from anywhere that you could recommend that is NOT too difficult? I know "not" too difficult is subjective but whatever you can offer would be appreciated.
