Two Questions: Ap Credits At Excelsior/tesc & "easiest" English Exam

[cookderosa]

1.,
Guys! According to several sources, Excelsior gives credit for AP exams. The question is how much? What about TESC? CLEP exams would be the logical choice of course but it seems I would either have to travel to the US or to Italy to take them. Apes are administered km from my home city (Budapest). PFC I may still choose the US or Italian trip but first I would like to know Werther or not it would worth it to take AP exams? Are they hard BTW?

College Search - Excelsior College - SAT®, AP®, CLEP®

2.,
Since English is not my native language I am having certain doubts taking a random English exam. Which one of the Excelsior accepted English exams do you think would be best to take for someone like me? Also, how do you prepare yourself for such test? I simply wish to pass. Who would have thought? hilarious

I took AP as a kid (ah-hem....a few dozen years ago) and they are for high schoolers. You'll have to find a school "willing" to let you sit the test. A few things, first, you won't be able to schedule it- they will have one per year and that's when it is. It's a hard exam- at least double CLEP and DSST. You'll get a score (1-5) and it won't be pass-fail. You'll also have to write essays for many/most/all? of them. Put it this way, nearly everyone (even MIT, Cal Tech, Princeton, Yale, etc) give AP credit or advanced standing (whoo hoo)....how much and for what score is up to them.
If you already took them in school, then I say "absolutely" use the credit.

There are a couple AP exams that are not offered through CLEP (physics, Latin, etc) which may be worth looking at. But, again, you'll have to convince the school to let you take them (and they don't have to say yes).

By the way, your English is excellent. Not to worry.
