I think you may have jinxed me. j/k I passed DSST Organizational Behavior but did not pass DSST World Religions. The day started off wrong when the testing center could not figure out how to log into the website. I waited ninety minutes before they figured it out. This was my first & last time testing at IUPUI. I am back in the testing lab tomorrow morning to take Intro to the Middle East & Management Information Systems. My mind is starting to get a little clogged up but these two will be my last if I can pass them. Thanks to everyone for your support!

Hello,
A quick fyi, with your background please consider fundamentals of counseling. It's a very easy exam. Run through the cards once and you should be good to go. You have taken educational and counseling courses so this should be a no brainer.
I know its listed as COU262 but TESC transcribes it as UL PSY331. I wanted to recommend the exam on Friday but felt you had probably already spent time studying the other two.
Just my two cents.

Bric,
Good call with the Foundation of Counseling. That could work and be fairly easy for someone with a back ground.

I would like to take fundamentals of counseling but my adviser has said that it can not count as an upper level class. I passed the practice exam easily and was disappointed when told no. Should I call and ask again?

You can ask that they add it to your evaluation as PL credit and
take the test. Note that it may be added as COU262, it was for me, but when the transcript comes in and is officially added to your transcript it's coded PSY-331. The advisor may be new and not know because it is the evaluation department that transcribes the credit; and since it appears as COU262 on the list, it's probably why that person answered the way they did.
This is how it appears on my evaluation:
2 PSY-331 Introduction to Counselin 3.00 CR PSY-331 *NE
* If you want confirmation other than just me, or any other tesc student on the forum that took the exam call the registrars office and ask to speak with an Evaluator (not advising). They've put me through a few times now with no problem. Just let whoever answers the phone know it's important that you have a firm answer on this.

I just received approval to take both the Dantes Management Information Systems & Fundamentals of Counseling to complete my degree. These two tests fit much better for me. Thank you again for all of your advice!
