Well first a little short hisroty:
13 years hiatus from college
I have 110 credit hours earned over the years from 4 different schools
I recently decided to complete requirements for my Bachelors and continue on to pursue my Masters.
Started researching my options Sept 2006
Discovered the Big 3 and applied to TESC.
Found out about the FEMA courses, passed 11 Hours worth of courses
Later found out that they wouldn't count towards a TESC BA for my situation
Discovered Instantcert, tested it out, never took any test though
Re-evaluated and decided to re-enroll in a previous school that I attended Governors State University in their Board or Governors Program (now called School of Interdisciplinary Learning)
Had credits evaluated, 101 accepted, needing 19 upper level credits to graduate. Shooting for April 23rd, 2007 graduation.
Enrolled in 7 Credit hours January 2007 (Classes going great by the way)
March 6th 2007, re-registered with Instantcert.com. Studied 2 days for the Drug and Alcohol Abuse DSST.
Studied for 1 hour for the MIS DSST.
March 9th 2007 9:00am, drove to South Suburban College to take both test
9:52am - passed the Drug and Alcohol DSST with a score of 51 (passing is 49)
10:53am - passed the MIS DSST with a score of 52 (46 passing)!!!!!!!!
Now i'm not recommending that anyone try to study as little as I did and attempt to take these test, but I must say that I have no doubt that Instantcert is 100% responsible for me passing the Drug test, and probably 50% responsible for MIS (I work in IT, although a lot of the test material was external to what I do on a daily basis)
I am truly amazed how effective Instantcert is regarding these test. I have 2 more test that I need to take an pass in order to graduate. For these 2 however I have at least 4 good weeks to be able to study the material and I plan on studying much longer b4 taking these 2 test. One is Organizational Behavior and orignally I had planned on taking Business Law II, but now I'm wondering if I should take Civil War and Reconstruction instead, any suggestions on which would present an easier challenge?
Any either case I would like to say thanks to all on this forum that have posted useful information that has helped me in my pursuit.
