Thanks to IC and All Discussion Board Posters

[ShotoJuku]

Over the past four months, I silently read the discussion board posts on IC as I prepared for my spring semester of intensive CLEP/DSST test-taking. I read posts, took notes on what was said, and heeded the advice of many of the posters on this Web site, and I cannot tell you enough how helpful the information has been (along with the IC flashcards, of course!). Of the eight exams I needed, I passed the first five, and I am waiting to hear back on the three DSST tests that I just took.

Yesterday, I finished my last DSST exam--Civil War and Reconstruction--which means that in just four short months I was able to finish eight exams and, if I passed those last three UD DSSTs, 27 semester units (12 of them upper division units).

I was thrilled when I found out that I could save money on the cost of a college education by taking CLEP and DSST exams. I was also thrilled when I found a university that would accept them all with only minimal residence course requirements and offered online classes as well. Between CLEP/DSST exams, IC, the IC discussion board, and the generous program at my university, I have literally saved thousands of dollars on the cost of my bachelor's degree!

I am looking toward hopefully finishing my bachelor's a semester early (in December). That is, if I passed those three DSSTs I mentioned earlier. However, before I closed out my account at IC, I just wanted to say thanks to IC and to all of you who have taken the time to post your helpful advice in order to assist people like me.

Thanks, everybody!
