  tables and formulas for Principles of Finance?
Posted by: hunter2115 - 09-02-2006, 11:05 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (5)

Are any tables (like present/future value interest factors), or any of the formulas provided on the exam- or does all of this need to be memorized? I guess I'll cancel my bricks and mortar class and give the DSSt exam a shot :eek: Probably lots more questions to follow!!!

  Help I lost my...........

EC publication that lists what type is each EC exam. If it's multiple guess or essay. It's a very small publication and its not the guide to credit by examation. Anybody have this or know where to find it on Excelsior's website? I saved it, but it's lost and I can't find it anywhere.

  Development Psych and HGD
Posted by: arbornmedic - 08-31-2006, 03:59 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (2)

Well,

I took the HGD CLEP last week and got a 49... So close... Anyway.. TESC gives the same credit (PSY 211) for both of these tests and I was wondering if they indeed were pretty much the same test. Should I study the IC HGD and an HGD book? Any tips? I searched and didn't see anything on this. I notices there was a thread were someone mentioned these tests were pretty much the same.

Thanks in Advance

  IMPORTANT Re: EC Practice Exams
Posted by: Karenel - 08-31-2006, 02:51 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - No Replies

I just found out as I was registering and paying for an EC practice exam that today is the deadline for anyone not registered in the EC class of the chosen exam to obtain one. I have found these exams to be quite helpful and worth the $$$$ along with the IC study material, especially the Ethics exam. Just thought I would share this info in case anyone wants to jump on the proverbial band-wagon...after you register you have 120 days to complete their practice format. Hmmmmmmmm....maybe they have caught on to usRolleyes

  Civil War & Reconstruction
Posted by: B2MANLEY - 08-31-2006, 07:04 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (3)

Well I took the CW&R DANTES exam last night. No real surprises. I am definitely glad I supplemented IC with the Rudman book, or else I don't think I would have know half the material. All in all, the material on the test was pretty familiar. For those of you who have taken DANTES exams, you know the format can be difficult, mainly the way they word the questions. This is where I feel that the Rudman book definitely added the most value, as it was formatted in the same way.

I feel like I passed. I don't think I set the world on fire, but I'm pretty sure I at least passed, which is fine since my school doesn't transfer these in as a graded credit anyway.

I just wanted to add some feedback. So to re-cap: If you're studying for CW&R DANTES exam, use the Rudman book and IC, and maybe supplement both with a general reading of the entire period on Wikipedia and I think you should do fine. If you really want to go in confident, watch the Ken Burns videos (I unfortunely didn't have time to do this).

Hope This Helps...
