Hello,
Just curious as I'm reading many posts on the Petersons website. Which is more valuable to study for a Dantes exam (Drug and Alcohol abuse to be exact)- the Petersons website or IC? Anyone have any info, please let me know. Thanks.

I'm sure we have a bunch of U of P people in this group. I'm curious... what do you guys hear and think about the reputation of the school? Here's the reason I ask.... It was the first online school I had ever heard of, and therefore the first that I considered. I requested info from them via some banner ad on some random website. Once I did that, I was absolutely pummeled for the next six or so months with phone calls, emails, college surveys, emails, admission dept calls, academic advising calls, more emails, supervisor calls (wondering why I didn't enroll), and - oh yeah, a bunch more emails. I began to notice that every time I went to almost ANY website, there was their ad again (which tells me that they placed tracker cookies in my computer system so they can target their ads to me).

Without doing any real research into it, I decided that I thought they were a scam (U of P students, pls don't be offended - I know the school is not a scam) just because they tried so hard to get me to enroll.

Now, being a NJ resident, TESC is about $110/credit versus UofP's $475/credit (both are approximates) so choosing TESC over them was a no brainer for me, but I'm still curious - what do you guys think of U of P and how aggressively they market. Are they hurting or helping the general stigma of online education?

One huge way they are helping is by hosting the SuperBowl! I saw a documentary with a "branding expert" who said that they will (almost) instantly be able to double their tuition after the super bowl is over. (For those who didn't know, the super bowl was played in University of Phoenix Stadium. Funny - they don't have a classroom but they hosted my Giants!!! Anyway, this guy said that the entire awareness and acceptability of online education is going to get a huge boost, but much moreso - a degree from U of P now means a heck of a lot more than it ever did before.

Ok guys I read the forums for the last week and I am way beyond confused. I read the forums at degree info and still am stumped.

I have about 50 college credits from a local community college and I have almost every fema class taken as they are required as part of my employment.

Can someone in plain english please explain to me where I should go to get my fema classes turned into credit at the lowest cost possible? And is there a way to get my other certs from other places evaulated for credit. I have certifications from the coast guard and from various other places. What is the easiest way to turn this into a degree? And where should I go to obtain this degree. I am currently an EMT and in Paramedic school and trying to get a Associate and then a Bachelors maybe even a Master's. I am trying to get these degrees with as little class taking as possible.

Thanks in Advance

I will be (hopefully) be taking my final DANTES test this Tuesday. I'm going to try Criminal Justice. I've gone through the flashcards 2x so far. I've been writing down terms and definitions I'm not familiar with (which gave me writer's cramp!). I've never taken a criminal justice class.

Anyone who has taken this test, any suggestions? What can I expect, etc. I HAVE to pass this test in order to "walk" at graduation in May. Can anyone help? Thanks much!

Hello all, Does anyone know the complete exam listing for an BS for TESC?

Can anyone tell me how much study preparation it takes for the Here's to your Health Dantes Exam? I have the Here's to your Health study guide and flash cards but I have not began to study for the test yet.

I take the test Friday February 15th, 2008. Am I getting a late start? I have never been good at studying for test. Any advice?

Thank you in advance for your assistance,

Time: Where do YOU find it for your studies? Struggle to find study time has never been as prevalent as now for me. Most of the people on here have jobs, families and such. How are you doing it? Thank you in advance for your replies!

The super bowl is about 5 mins from my house and the electricity is incredible!!! I'm not a big football fan but it's hard not to get caught up in all the excitement! Happy super bowl everyone.

Hi guys, I have been reading the forums for awhile and recently registered.
Great stuff everyone is doing here.



I was wondering would it be a problem to test out all the exams then transfer credits to one of the big 3 to graduate in terms of the schools not accepting the transcript?



Thanks :confused:
