Congratulations! I somehow missed this when I read your post.

Just out of curiosity, how fluent are you in French? I took it for 5 years in school, and even was able to understand a lot and speak a little (I was embarrassed to speak more) on a recent trip to Paris. But, I was intimidated by this exam and never took it.

Actually this exam was a little harder than I expected it to be. I already took the German test and it was easier. For me the main reason it was hard was that some of the sound was really bad so the sentences were difficult to understand because of the unclear pronunciation. Also, some of the grammar questions were really way out there. Sounded to me like an American wrote the exam based on text book material, most of the grammar was definately not like it is spoken in France. However, usually the bad options were an easy strike out. I took 6 years of French in my European high school and college and lived in France for a while as well.

I think with your background I would definately go and try this exam, remember, with a pass score of 50 or something you would still get 6 credits and that should be doable!

Oh, I'd also like to mention the fact that my American college would not give me credit for my French education knowledge since they literally told me: "it wasn't taught to me by an American teacher" :eek: Well no, it was taught to me by French people from France that might actually know what they are talking about

Of course they never told me about the possibility to CLEP out of this, they just told me to take the classes since they probably should be easy for me.
Yeah right.... hilarious

Just read today in Times that 63% of the students have a student loan with an average of $19,000 debt. Well, I guess that won't be any of us!

Hello

Do you have any suggestions/study tips for the Ethics in America (DSST)
I plan on taking this in about a month, how time should I study, was it pretty tough?

Thanks to all of you for the quick response. That will give me a little bit more time to get the funds together

BTW. just came back from CLEPing French. Scored a 73 for 12 credits hilarious YES!

That's now 51 credits during 4 1/2 months! And what amazes me most: I go to college to do the test and see all these students walking towards their classes looking exausted. You tell them about CLEP but they say that's just way to hard to do

I have two small children, an extremely busy full time job, and look to complete my degree in October this year, that's 9-10 months!!!

Thanks to all of you for making it happen!

Wow! Congratulations Christa! You are really doing great!

Good suggestion. I'm not enrolled yet, but I also recommend that people that plan on graduating from Excelsior sign up at the Excelsior website. It's free and allows you to download the current business degree catalog in PDF. In the catalog, it will tell you all the requirements for the degrees offered and on page 37 and 38, there is a listing of the tests (CLEP, DSST, ECE, Ohio Univ. Exam) that can be taken to complete the core requirements of the degree.
