I was just curious, since Thomas Edison accepts level 2 courses as upper level are there any dante/clep exams are would be considered upper level that are not stated as UL on the exam sheets?

For example, Organizational Behavior is noted as LL on my exam sheet but I also read that it's considered upper level at Thomas Edison...

So what's the deal?

Okay...I am thinking of transfering to Excelsior from Strayer. I have officially applied and I am in the process of transfering in my prior schooling. I have about 60 hours of random credits, mostly in music, from my 2 years at another college.

I am going for the BS Business-Finance degree...I just completed the DSST Principles of Supervision...while I am waiting for all of my credits to be transfered in...what test should I go for next that I will definetly need and likely not get credit for...remember, I have no prior busines classes, took a couple of math, one english, some lit classes. I just don't want to study for something that I'm not going to need. Any advise would be appreciated...

Are there flash cards to study on instant cert for anatomy and physiology?? I dont see any. Thank you, Cindy

Okay, finally got to take my first test today. Principles of Supervision - DSST. 86 questions, a little harder than I thought it would be, but the IC flashcards were great. Only used IC and the practice exams to study for a week...got a 58, 46 was a pass. I was hoping to do better, but I guess a pass is a pass...

Ready to move on to the next...

Question, how do I create a signature line with my test results and stuff???

Thanks Everyone...this forum is awesome

Hi all!

Is anyone else getting a network error when trying to use the IC flashcards?

I'm really amped up to study right now and I can't lol.

I need another set of eyes to take a look at this game plan for my husband. He has about 54 credits and I have come up with what I think will work for a BA in Social Sciences through TESC. I have crossed referenced the TESC course equivalent and listed those as well. I am thinking TESC because they will accept FEMA Credits and 200, 300 & 400 level as upper level.
Thanks for looking and any suggestions are welcome!

The above (I think) should satisfy the GE Requirements and the tests needed will be:
CLEP: Analyzing Lit, SS & History, College Math
DSST: Astronomy, Ethics in America

Then we need the good stuff 33 CORE Requirement
They allow no more then 2 100 level courses in the core.

Free Electives : 27 FEMA credits....if we have to get 2 transcripted from Frederick Community college we will.

PLEASE let me know if any of you see any red flags when you look over this. We will both be applying to TESC and are going to get a few more exams out of the way before enrolling. We are picking the must have exams to make sure we don't take the wrong exams. Sorry to the length of this post but I figured more info was best in this case.

Thank you all so much! From what I can see he is 12 exams and 27 FEMA credits away from a degree. I wish I was so lucky!

Hi,

I am glad I found this thread. I have questions about the credit bank at Thomas Edison State College and FEMA credits. I will be entering the Army soon maybe this summer and I was hoping to enter as an E-3 but I only have 25 college credits from a local community college and the Army requires you to have at least 48. I have completed about 14 FEMA courses and I plan to take them all and I was wondering if it was worth it to credit bank those FEMA credits at Thomas Edison so I can have more than 48 credits total. :confused: The only problem is that from what I read on here, Thomas Edison State College has bad customer service and it takes a long time for them to respond to your questions, is that true? Because if I do plan to open a credit bank with them, I do not want to wait around for 6 months for them to send me a transcript.

What do you think is best? I was also thinking about taking CLEP and DSST exams but if I do it is going to be quite costly and I cannot afford it right now...

One more question about the credit bank at TESC, if I do open one with them it's good for one year right? So if I take CLEP and DSST exams later this year can I credit bank them also at TESC?

Any other way to earn free or cheap credits? I like the FEMA courses, you can learn a lot from it. I also read about thebackup.com courses and they seem really interesting but it's only for law enforcement so that's out of the question.

Thanks to anyone who can answer my questions.

]Hey guys...which is easier....Statistics or College Algebra. Also, is college algebra a prerequisite to Statistics. I'm trying to figure out which CLEP or DANTES I should study for first. Any advice will be grateful.
Thanks

Quantitative Requirement
All baccalaureate degree students are required to take a course (equal to at least 2 semester hours or 3 quarter hours) in quantitative reasoning. You may satisfy this requirement by taking a college level course or examination such as college algebra, trigonometry, or statistics.

Will CLEP College Math fulfill the quantitative requirement?
