Hello everyone,
I have a quick GRE Psych/Excelsior question. I was planning on (eventually sometime in late Winter/early Spring once I've knocked out some CLEP/DSSTs first) taking the GRE Psychology.
I read their website (I'm in the "waiting to apply and enroll until I'm closer" crowd) and I know up to 30 credits, first 12 LL, last 18 UL, but it also states something to the effect of "you won't receive credit for the equivalent of courses already completed" since they determine what score equates to what.
Here's my question- should I even bother taking it if I already have 9 credits in Psych (Intro, Psych of Adjustment, and Child Development)? If I take it and qualify for, let's say, 12 credits, they would really only award me 3 extra (bc I already have 9 LL). That's how I read it, and in that case, another CLEP test would make up the difference and is easier to study for. I was planning on doing a couple of the DSST tests to make up the difference.
If it makes a difference, I'm going for the BS Psych and BSGB Business degree (and I know about the new changes, I wish I had known about Excelsior prior).

Edited to add their wording from their site: "For each examination, faculty have determined the courses that duplicate the GRE Subject Test, and no credits will be awarded that duplicate course credits already on your transcript."



That was long-sorry! Any help is appreciated

Does anyone know of or can anyone recommend a good tutorial on annuities? Reading through the textbook, the formulas just made my eyes glaze over and I didn't fully understand all of the intricacies. Thanks.

can i receive any credits for GRE general exam or just for subject GRE from Excelsior ???
Anybody took more than one subject GRE??

Hello all,

I am preparting to take the English COmposition W/ Essay on this Thursday. While preparing for the multiple choice questions...though I am timing myself during the practice sessions...I am unable to finih all questions in 45 mins. Please advise.

Well I received my Excelsior Unofficial Degree review today and there was only one surprise.

It says I need (no surprise):
21 semester hours Arts & Sciences Upper Level
3 semester hours WER
1 semester hour Info Literacy

But the review also says I need (surprise):
6 semester hours Applied Professional Credit (Upper Level)

ACE granted 67 semester hours for my FAA A&P license, all lower level. However, TESC awarded 39 of the 67 semester hours as Upper Level. TESC also listed those courses on their transcript as “TESC Credits” whereas other courses were listed on the TESC transcript “Transfer Credits”. Obviously if the credits were listed as "transfer" I wouldn’t have issue. Please let me know if you had a similar situation that you were able to overcome.

Thanks, Icanstudy

This is gonna be a last minute clep i am taking tomorrow. i have general knowladge of computers and some what how it works. my question is will IC only be enough to pass this. i read couple of thread that said there were not, but i just wanted to get more info about it. any last min. tips or things i should know. thank for the help

First of all, I DID do a search ;o)

I'd like to know your personal experience of Penn Foster.

Can you tell me about the structure of the courses, and how you liked/disliked them as compared to just testing (CLEP/DANTES/etc)

Also, can this be a less expensive option than testing?

Why do they say over the phone that you MUST sign up for a degree program, if I've seen mention of taking individual courses?

Thanks!

I was doing research into Emergency Management since FEMA courses would coincide quite well, thought I would share my research here.

I'm signed up the take the clep us history 1 this saturday. I'm a highschool senior and i took AP history my junior year and was one point shy from passing.. probably because of the 3 essays that test requires. I've been reviewing instacert and i'm about to crack open a rea study guide. All the material is generally a review/refresher for me. How difficult could it be to pass??? Are these questions insanely specific, or fairly general questions. I have a review sheet of about 100 issues in us history 1 curriculum and the majority of them seem pretty familar. anyone have any thoughts/suggestions for me?

I will be utilizing this thread to combine all of my findings on both programs and which will best suit my needs, and hopefully will answer questions for those who are in the same boat.
