EC Exams

[eyrobinson]

Do EC exams automatically get sent to EC or do you have to request them to be sent? I am not an enrolled student yet. I'm worrying about a few of the exams that I failed showing up on my EC transcript.

Hi Eyrobinson,
How was the Gerontology ECE? Was it the easiest of the ECE's that you took?
What resources did u use?
Thanks A bunch

Yes, obviously it has been the easiest for me because I've failed the other 5 exams I've taken! I just used the exam guide and IC. I want to kill myself...waist of $1025!!! But I guess it is still cheaper and FASTER than taking a college course. I have one more to take, which is Cultural Diversity. I've heard that one is the easiest out of all the EC tests. I will take that one on Thursday unless I can get an earlier appointment. I may have to take a few more EC tests because I need 21 upper division credits. But, I will try to max out my DANTES tests first.

Dont feel so bad. I failed Educational Psych with a 49 and the social Science & History clep. I needed the Ed. Psych for my depth...

Be encouraged. I am looking to take 2 DSST's tomorrow and not getting bummed out. You are correct, pass or fail, taking these exams are cheaper & faster than taking college courses.

Be blessed and keep testing, Im sure you'll knock the next one out of the park.

When you take an exam with EC, the show up on your MyAcess page after they are graded. The wait is about 15 business days after you test.

They automatically get sent over, you do not need to fill out any additional paperwork.

Noting that some of you have blown some serious money on these. . .

I'm hoping that with the Uexcel program, and the general increased acceptance of ECEs, that eventually there will be targeted study material for Excelsior exams.

Let's keep our fingers crossed. . .

All my ECE Exams are free, the military gets free cleps and dantes and ECE exams which they do not advertise at our Education office, So If I bomb it , I shrug it off and take another free test, pretty good deal for me!
