Test Help
#1
Hello All,

I just want to let everyone know how great this forum is. I have been a member to the IC site for a little over a year now. I wishe I would have known about it sooner. I have used IC to pass almost all my exams along with Petersons. The best advice I can give is to take full advantage of both sites!!!!!!!!
Okay the formula I used for taking these test is simple, I used the IC sight and registered free for the petersons site. Important I took every test they offered on the petersons site. I clicked "E" for the answer to all of them then went in and reviewed the test, when you do this it will let you copy them into a word document, I did this and arranged the questions in the % of the material covered. Each subject has 3 practice test so your looking at 300 plus questions and IC combined has been the BOMB!!!! After I study them I go back and register again and take the test to see what I score if I can crack a 70 I take the test. I downloaded the DSST book from petersons for "FREE" read about each one of the tests they offered to get the basics then hit IC & Petersons. I currently have over 144 hours with no degree...:mad:

Intro to Business: 61 (IC/DSST)
Business Math: 70 (DSST)
Personal Finance: 51(IC/DSST)

I took all 3 exams same day. The DSST book gives good basic foundation!!!! Total study time for these exams 4 days.

Intro to Mgmt: 61
HRM : 59
Principles of Supervision: 68

Again the IC and DSST along with Petersons are the Bomb. Total study time 7 days. At thisa point

Intro to Counseling: 46 I took this the next day witout any study....got lucky!

Heres to your Health: 61(IC)
Drug & Alcohol Abuse: 55(IC)

Take both of these test at the same time or a day apart!!!! I can't say enough about how important it is to use the IC. Total study time 7 days.

Ethics: 55 (IC)
Speech: 59 No Study used my military background

Org Behavior: 68 (IC/DSST) Total study time 4 days Upper level

Intro to Soc: 59 (IC/Petersons) the petersons came in real handy for this exam. Total Study Time 7 days

College Math: 45 (FAILED) total study time 1 month only class I need for the AA, what a bummer. My 6 month probation is up so I am going to order it again.

RG2BFREE,

Welcome to the board. Thank you for your feedback on the various exams you have taken. A great first post.

Why are you going for an Associate's degree if you already have 144 credits? Surely you could fit the majority of your credits into a BS Liberal arts degree from Excelsior College by now?

I'm sure you have your reasons, but I bet you could apply a ton of those credits toward a Bachelor's if you wanted to.

Aim high!
hilarious

It's great to have you on-BOARD,
