Congrats, Judy! Just curious - do have any immediate plans for your BS-IS degree? What was the motivating factor behind getting it?

I have over 20 years experience in the IT field already, so no immediate plans for the degree (but I find myself researching masters programs now). I did this for personal satisfaction. Since I have been married my husband finished his bachelors and masters, my oldest child finished a bachelors and masters, and my youngest graduates with her bachelors in May and is applying to grad schools. In that time period (prior to kids) I managed an associates and nearly finished a bachelors when the kids were little. I just decided I wanted to finish up before both my kids got done. I figured it out recently, since the majority of the AS didn't count towards this degree (to old, most IT courses were to old as well) by the time I get finished I will have taken approximately 200 credits worth of courses to get a bachelors, with I think 135 showing on my excelsiors transcript. To make a long story short I just figured it was time.

That sounds awesome. How was the financial accounting clep for you? I've heard it's a pretty tough one and I have it coming up soon. How long did you study for it and did you use any other materials other than IC?

The financial accounting clep was not too bad for me, I would have done better if I had stuck to my normal study routine of at least 2 weeks (to include 2 weekends) but I was tired of the subject and took it after a 1 1/2. Use the specific exam feedback. I used IC and the REA study guide mainly for this. I did take a look at the online sites that Snaz posted for just the fin acct stuff one day as well. The one thing I took from one of the sites that I liked was the acryonym DEAD - Debits increase Expenses, Assets, and Dividends. It struck my morbid sense of humor and I didn't forget it either.
