Between the tests in REA CLEP Study books and Peterson's, which one more closely resembles the CLEP test? In addition, is the chart in the REA books a decent approximation of the CLEP score you may receive?

I'm taking the Biology CLEP and can't afford to not pass it. My college requires a 56 for credit and I want to go in with ample "padding" in case the test is a little harder than expected.

I've been taking the tests as I studied to monitor improvements and for motivation. My amount correct for Peterson's were 62, 69, and 57 (today; that third one was a doosey!) and for REA has been 63 and 75(today).

I am looking to take the Chemistry CLEP and was wondering if anyone who has taking it has any feedback for me as I am looking to prepare and nail this thing soon... It is a bummer that IC dosn't cover this subject, but I was hoping someone out there has experience with this test and any feedback would be much appreciated!!!

Thanks in Advanced!

Trying to find out best material to study for DSST Environment and Humanity test.

I'm just starting on this course and from the syllabus, I cannot determine whether or not the assigned homework problems need to be submitted to the professor or not. I understand that the AE's and examinations are submitted and graded. Can anyone who has taken the course tell me if the homework practice problems need to be submitted as well? I do see that they are not graded.

OK everyone, I officially did it. I submitted my request to remove all non-essential C grades from my Excelsior transcript. The deadline was Dec 31st.

This leaves me deficient now by 25 units of lower level, any area credits. This is where my good friend uncle same comes in to save the day. I plan to use as many FEMA courses (I have 7 so far) to boost my units and DANTES to boost my GPA. Does anyone know if the FEMA courses, which are awarded only "P" grades are averaged in to calculate GPA at Excelsior?

I also noticed a problem, they change the requirements of my program while I was awaiting my AS degree, and now I have additional requirements for my BS. Has this happened to anyone out there?

Appreciate your help.

I totally panicked in the exam. The fact sheet questions seemed very do-able. It seemed like 50% of the exam was to plot equations on graphs which I totally underestimated my capability to do.

I ran out of time, at the 1 minute mark I just answered the remaining questions as "b's". If a problem got too big, I went on to the next, but the 2 hour mark was not enough time for me. Of course, I felt that I might have been able to complete the ones at the end of the test and could kick myself for not going faster.

I am scared to death of statistics, but it appears my only recourse.

On the bright side, I spent very little time studying the 6 credit social sciences and history exam - didn't even make it through all the IC flashcards in the economics section, just US history 1 and 2 and scored a 60.

In an effort to help upcoming students who have not enrolled figure out which external certs/training count toward college courses, I'd like to start this thread as a reference.

This should help people (like me) determine which schools will best fit their specific needs.

I'll start with some information I've run across.

Please note, this is for Specific Courses, not just amount of credit.

This is from TESC regarding CompTIA A+, Network+, and i-net+

Quote:CompTIA A+ will receive 2 credits in Windows. CAP-171 Windows is our equivalency. CompTIA Network+ will receive 2 credits in Networks. CAP-181 Networks is our equivalency. We have not reviewed Comptia i-net+ for credit.

Quote:We award 10 credits for MCSE, 2 credits for CompTIA Network + and 2 credits for CompTIA A+. The credits for A+ duplicate some of the credit in MCSE. CAP-181 Networks, CAP-282 LAN Administration and CAP382 Advanced LAN Administration can be used as CIS electives

Quote:The credits awarded for the MCDBA are CIS-311 Database Management - 4 credits and CAP-181 Networks - 3 credits

Quote:MCSD awards CAP-206 Business Oriented Programming Techniques - 4 Credits and Visual Basic - 3 credits

Is anyone doing an IS class through Adams State? I need a 3 credit English class (non Western Lit) for my area of study, and I can't find it offered ANYwhere (and I'm not keen on paying $165/cr for it at TESC). Tried AZ Western, BYU, LSU, PF, etc.

Only place I found it was at Adams for $360 total. Has anyone used their school before? Was it difficult to get a transcript sent? (I read the information on their website about the Transcript Clearinghouse).

Hi guys,

I am about to take the Humanities exam on friday and have been preparing for it using the IC flashcards and Peterson's practice tests. As Imagined, the Petersons test are quite hard. I ended up getting 43, 56 and 61 in my three tests respectively.

One thing I saw in the Peterson's exam was the breakdown of periods in American Literature (Nationalistic, Revolutionary, Colonial, etc). I was wondering if anyone faced these type of questions in their Humanities exams and whether I should learn about these periods and authors in detail.

Thank you all in advance for your help and wish me good luck. If I pass Humanities, I will have graduated!

Is is possible to receive scholarships for distance learning? What about to EC?
