Hey guys and gals. Hope all is well. I'm a newbe to the instantcert community. I passed the business law clep a couple weeks ago with a 67, and I'm taking the principals of management tomorrow ... wish me luck. Anyhow, I figured I would take marketing next. Does anyone have any recommendations for a couple of easier exams after marketing? I will have a couple of classes starting in a week (distance learning, local community college), and I would prefer to take a couple light-weight ... low hanging fruit during this time.
Also, I'm going to run into a barrier pretty soon where I have to take upper-level exams. Any dantes upper level recommendations from the group? I have a strong business and technology background.
Thanks all! Also, I have our babysitter joining the group here soon - nice girl named Bianca - so when she joins, please say hello!!
Thanks
Matt

you should check out the excelsior website they have a .pdf on there and it runs through almost every exam whether it's upper level or lower level and the required score for each grade. It's definitely on the excelsior.edu site

You'll do great on Princ of Mgmt today, I'm sure!!
As for "low hanging" fruit, I would suggest the Dantes Supervision exam since you've already studied for Princ of Mgmt. Also, I personally found Here's to Your Health a breeze. It's not in your business-oriented mix but it'd make a nice elective if you need any of those.
Good luck!

Matt, that's an awesome score!! Congratulations. It's really smart of you to "cluster" Mgmt and Marketing. Definitely try Princ of Supervision on for size!
And, while you are at it -- Org Behavior is an interesting mix of Mgmt, Supervision, and Human Resources. If you tackle HR, then you can just "almost" take Org Behavior without much additional study. Just something to think about.
Congrats again!!!!

Congratulations on a great pass! Definitely take Supervision soon. I took it and then took Management two weeks later based on advice that there was a ton of overlap, and there was.
