Hi all,

My sister, who also uses this forum, had her DSST transcript sent to TESC when we both enrolled a month or so ago. We just realized that the last DSST exam she took hadn't shown up on the transcript yet and therefore TESC hasn't added it to her degree audit. Obviously, we need to request another transcript with that course on it, but I'm not sure what to do---do we ask the DSST folks to send another complete transcript (which might confuse TESC?) or a transcript with just that course? Or what?

I've gotten pretty good at taking tests but navigating the college paperwork system is a whole 'nother thing altogether, LOL!

does anyone know if TESC accepts ECE research in psych as an experimental psych class for the BA in psychology

I need 2 pre-cal algebra courses, 2 physics courses and a statistics course to complete my degree at TESC. I have researched TESC's guided study and online courses but they do not appear to be very flexible (multiple online logins required each week) and I have heard that they can be rather difficult compared to some of the other DL courses available out there. Any recomendations for an institution that may have more student friendly (easier and more flexible) courses in these study areas that will transfer to TESC?

i have heard that this exam is easy and that you can take it cold but does anyone have some good resources to recommend for this one. i was thinking maybe the passyourclass study guide. has anyone used it? is it worth it? thanks

Hi,

I see a bunch of local places that administer DANTES (pen & paper) near where I live, but only 1 place (much further away) that offers it by Internet. What preference do you guys have?

One obvious difference is that with Internet, Prometric has your results instaneously, which reduces the time it takes before your school gets the report. I called Prometric - they said the school has the results of Internet tests in 7 to 10 days versus 3 to 4 weeks for pen/paper. Also, I understand that you get your results before you stand up from the test (Internet).

Any pros for pen/paper :confused: :confused:

Thank you!!

:eek: I recently began my quest for a BA degree, and have enrolled in TESC. Now that I finished and got TESC credit for my FEMA tests, the Humanities test is looming large on my soon to do CLEP test schedule. Since I am definitely not a classical music/art/literature buff, the amount of pure memorizing is looking to be staggering. Is there another alternative to this CLEP test? Maybe an online accredited course?

Hey all!
What's up w/everyone???

Well I'm taking my first clep, Intro to Psych, this Friday at 1pm.

Up until yesterday I was extremely confident that I would have no problems. I studied from a college Psych textbook, and I used the IC flashcards. I practiced with the cards so much I have them memorized (almost hehe.)

But today I went to Barnes and Noble, and came across the Peterson's Clep book as well as the AP Psychology Cliffs. The questions in both of these books seem so much harder! I didn't know the answers to a lot of the practice questions!

I'm totally bummed now. Am I not really ready? Should I cancel the test and buy these two books and study from them before I try? I just thought IC would be enough because of how much everyone loves IC.

Or am I just being paranoid?

Help me help me.

I just got a transcript with some of my old grades on it and it has a few more Cs than I would like My first question is if I duplicate/retake say a CLEP or DSST for a class with a low grade do I have a choice as to which one gets credited/used by the school ? (I havent enrolled but EC is prob gonna be it).

My second question is kinda the same but in regard to excess credits..I have Eng 101-102 and Phil 201 on my transcript and I also just took CLEP Humanities/A&I Lit so I have the Humanities/WER covered..but I would like to drop the 102 and Phil since they are Cs..if I am willing to lose the credits, take something else to make up my elective total can I have them NOT include/use designated classes ? In other words if I have 130 credits and only need 120 can I pick which are used (while meeting the basics of course).

Any other ideas or suggestions are welcome,

I've noticed a few comments on the board about how students study for exams using IC, and I was wondering if more people could contribute their personal experience. It might be interesting to see different ways students utilize IC and perhaps it could help current and future students incorporate their IC study habits as well.

For Example:

gcalvin Wrote:My problem with the IC flashcards is that too often I find there are too many cards per set. I would be a whole lot happier with them if I could split them up into sets of no more than 20. I get frustrated and annoyed trying to work through sets of 40 or 60 or more flashcards. It just feels like they're going to go on forever. I know it doesn't make much sense, but I'm sure I could do three sets of twenty much more quickly and happily than one set of sixty. Still, I don't mean to complain -- for the money, it's a terrific value.

Basket Weaver Wrote:I had the same issue with the longer sections as well. Whenever I had one longer than 40 questions I split it in half and treated it like another section. I usually went through each section once, just to read it, then I started it over and tried to answer the question in my mind...I do not like typing so this was easier for me:o . When I could go through a section and not miss a single question and knew the explanations....I would then move on to the next section.

One more tidbit of advice if I may. As I finished a section of a subject, I would go back to the beginning and go through them all again

This will really drill the information into your head; repetition is key. Is this a bit overkill? Sure is, but it worked perfectly for CLEPs, Dantes, and the 8 ECE tests I passed.... IC was my primary source of study and I tested out of my degree. Good luck!

I was wondering if anyone here has taken any courses like computer programming or Electronic Instrumentation and Control from Penn Foster. If so, how was your experience like? If not, do you think I should take these 2 courses from them?
