Dantes Intro to Computing. I used Instantcert and took the CLEP practice exams. As other have stated here, I not sure I passed. I have 2 others at my test site waiting for me. I will take Here's to your heath & Civil War by the end of the month.
The hardest part for me was to "Just go and DO IT". I live about 2 miles from my testing site. Looking back, I ask myself why I waited so long.
This forum is Great!! All of you that post are fantastic. For others like me, go ahead take the first step and try it.
THANKS FOR ALL OF THE ENCOURAGEMENT THIS FORUM HAS GIVEN ME.
One test at a time,

That's great. Have you decided what School/Program to sign-up for? I found putting some money on the line by enrolling in a program helped eliminate a lot of my procrastinating.

Hi Rob,
I'm enrolled at Ashworth College- Paralegal Studies. I'm in my 3rd semester. I am thinking EC or TESC for a BS. I am leaning more to EC and hope they will accept all my Ashworth College credits after July 1st.
I have 51 units from local Community Colleges(1977-Present), 18 units from UOP (BSBA core 1988-89), a mix of Business and Criminal Justice classes.
And now 1 Dantes test (Intro to Computing,6/20/06).
I have a goal of earning 100 credits in 2006. Completing a B.S. would be just personal satisfaction for me.
Tim

Got my results back today on Intro to Computing. Passed with a 65 hilarious (passing is 45, EC gives an "A" @ 53).
I will take Civil War this week and Here's to your Health next(if I'm ready). They are at my test site waiting for me.
I also found a CLEP test site that I can do BOTH DSST and CLEP. So I am thinking of taking CLEP Information Sys & CA and DSST Management Information Systems on the same day.
