For the record, according to CLEP, you passed (with flying colors) and any other school you send that score to will award you 3 credits. If I may ask, how many credits are you away from graduating?
I'm *many* credits away from graduating (probably 90?). I just finished my first year of nursing pre-reqs, which leaves 3 years of school left. There are about 5 classes I can CLEP (my school doesn't accept many and it doesn't accept any DSSTs) and especially since I'm pregnant with our first baby (due in about a week!), I want to minimize time in class as much as possible.
I need sociology as a pre-req to applying to the nursing program, so I'm going to schedule it for the end of August and if I don't pass, I will have to take the class this fall. Developmental psych needs to be taken spring semester, so likewise, I'm going to schedule that one for December (winter break, I guess?) and if I don't pass then, I will have to take the class this coming spring.
Whew. I guess I feel better realizing they have a higher cutoff. I cried on the way home, and thought everything was pretty crummy. But I feel better. Thanks for all of the feedback and input
