I have a test tomorrow for Here's to Your Health, I will have about 2hrs-230min to finish the test. I was wondering would I beable to sneak in another test if I finished this test in an hour or so?

So basicly my question is which tests have you taken that are short, fast and of course easy. I want to try to take two tests in 2hrs-2hr30min which is all the time I will have.

Hi everyone! I've been reading the forum for awhile now and have finally found the time to begin preparing for a few exams. I am a TESC student, sick of online classes and writing papers (I seem to be on the 20 yr plan) and I am hoping to test out of the remainder of my classes. If I can pass these exams, I think I only have one more business elective to take and I'm finished!

Does anyone have any suggestions for the order I should take the following courses?

Principles of Supervision (from what I've read this seems to be the easiest)
Organizational Behavior
Human Resources Mgmt
Money & Banking
Business Law
Business Policy


Thanks for any advice you guys can give me,

Rachael

Hello, All, I've been quietly looking around a bit. This seems to be a great place!

It looks as though folks have been pleased with their Penn Foster classes. I'm now wondering whether any business majors have considered trying the PF Accounting certificate. Most of the courses appear to be ACE reviewed, and for less than $600, 36 credits, or even 30 credits, would be a steal! I've been thinking of trying a single Statistics class so that I'll know whether their materials and approach actually get the information to my brain before diving into the entire certificate.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and ideas on this, and thank you for all the information already posted here.

Hi Im taking the Clep American Gov. soon and was wondering if you had any advice on it. What is the difficulty level? In sociology, almost nothing of what I studied w/ instacert was on the test, is it the same way with government?

Hi Guys got a D on the excelsior ethics, 3 hour lengthy reading scenario test. It was aweful. I guess I have to wait 60 days to retake it. Any advice as in how to get through it again, I cried the first time and used every second they gave me. Thanks all. cindy

wondering the validity between the two..
are they comparable in a sense does the petersons somewhat predict your grade for the actual clep?

been getting straight 60%'s on the clep for IST
getting scared if i'll pass or not

:confused: Hi, I am new to the testing circuit. I have studied various websites that I found from reading the posts on InstantCert and seem to be able to pass the practice test of 60 questions on Peterson's with an 85. However, I feel like I don't know anything....kinda like my reading goes in one ear and out the other.

Has anyone taken the test for Human Resource Management? Do I need to keep reading or am I ready?

I passed Personal Finance today with a 68! That gives me an "A" at Excelsior. I studied for about one week, maybe less. I used The Wall Street Journal: Complete Personal Finance Guidebook by Jeff Opdyke. I also used the DSST study guide. The study guide is good because it gives you, with pre and post exams, roughly 80 questions. So you familiarize yourself with the type of questions.

This exam really is not very hard. There were a few questions that I got wrong because they were fairly deep but most of the exam was information that any savvy professional would know. Example, What is the role of the Federal Reserve. The answer: control monetary policy. Other questions were related to the rule of 72. If you have $1000 and earn 6% interest, how many years would it take to double your money. There were two or three questions like that. Another question was which form do you fill out to determine your tax deduction amount. Answer: W4. Or who pays social security tax. Answer: employee and employer. If you have $1000 and earn 15% interest, how many years until you reach $1500. Answer: 3 years.
