At first I blamed it on the pitiful excuse for internet that we have, but then I realized that it was just InstantCert that was having on-and-off server issues. Is anyone else noticing this, or is it just me?

I was recommend Human Development by Paplia as a study
book for the Human Development test. It is an interesting
book. Any body have any opinions about this book?

I am working towards a History degree at TESC and wanting to do take all CLEP and DANTES exams to fulfill my requirements. I was looking at two Excelsior exams which look intersting, but was wondering if anyone knew what class they correspond to at TESC. TESC lists CLEP and DANTES exams on their website and specifically say which class they coorespond to, but not Excelsior. I am looking at the World COnflicts since 1900 and American Dream. Has anyone taken these and used them at TESC? Any help would be most appreciated.

How to I study for American Lit. 1 and 2?

I have seen several members post about WGU and I have a few questions. Is anyone a current or former student? What do you thing about WGU? How are their classes? Do they have a favorable credit transfer policy? Their website indicates they do, along with credit for work experience, but I'm always leary when I see that. Are their online classes well structured? Do they have a lot of busy work or a fair amount. I'm interested in any feedback anyone has about WGU. Thanks!

I've seen postings in the past where people have been able to share experiences and advice on the Peterson tests, relating how the practice test scores will likely relate to the actual test grades.

Can anyone share their experiences with the ECE practice tests and how that seemed to play out with the actual test results????

Thanks,

Judy

I'm hosting a meet-up style graduation party this year around commencement time. This would be central Maryland DC/Baltimore area (Maybe Dave & Busters) for all of us crazy distance learners. I thought of this because even though my school is mostly distance, folks are mostly in that area (go figure, University of Maryland, U.C.

Anyway, considering that I've now done as much school work through DSST as through my current school..... the invite is open to you my degreeforum classmates as well.

If you'd like to be put on the invite list post here or PM me.

I am interested in taking the Biology CLEP test, but am wondering what you might have used for test prep? What was the test like?

I am studying every day for my Western Civ II CLEP exam that I will be taking next week Feb 8th and I feel like I am getting sunk. I am studying the IC flashcards, the REA book and the peterson's free exams and I feel like I am getting nowhere. There just seems to be so much material. I am wondering if I would be better off taking the rise and fall of the soviet union and western europe since 1945 first and then western civ II. Any thoughts??? I feel like the flashcards are confusing me more since they are fill in formats and I often am required to fill in a word that doesn't seem to be the most important point of the topic. Any help would be most appreciated...
