It seems that for all the clep or dantes tests I've taken a 49 is passing. Isn't this an 'F' ? Does anyone understand how these tests are scored ??

thanks

Hi All,

This is my first post, but I have already found IC to be awesome. I took the DSST ethics test yesterday (and yes, the yes/no questions were phrased in a completely insane way). I am ramping up to take the ECE Ethics test, as I am enrolled with excelsior. Going through the forums had some great information, but also confused me a bit. I have so far studied the passyouclass material,
official dsst guide, IC for ethics, and I plan on taking the practice test from ECE also. I hear the ECE test is much harder than the DSST, and I am not sure what to expect. Some one else in the forum mentioned to follow the "guide" for the test. Does any one know what/where that is? And also does any one have any other suggestions for this test? I have to say I am worried from the feedback I have read. Any help would be appreciated.

Greetings Instantcert Fam,

I say fam bcuz I feel like I know you all so well. I have been considering distance learning for some time now. But, I just recently decided that it was time to move forward. After many late nights searching for information, I stumbled upon this site. I must've read every post in the forum. I mean E-V-E-R-Y!

The test didn't go as planned. I didn't get enough sleep, I didn't have anything to eat and I was totally distracted by family problems.

Nevertheless, armed with the information from this forum, I had the confidence to schedule, complete and pass my very first CLEP exam. hilarious

Scored a 65 on Social Science and History!

The State of Michigan only requires you to have 60 credits to enter LAW SCHOOL(no d/l). So, that's my program.

6 down and 54 to go!



I would not have done this without you guys. I will keep you updated on my progress.

Thanks fam,

I've just started working on Microeconomics study and I haven't went through the flash cards yet. I'm trying to 'get' the algebra concept of elasticity.

If I'm given the actual percentages in a question, I think should be able to figure the elasticity as (% change in rise)/(% change in run).

But, if I'm given prices or quantities etc. and asked to calculate the % change and the elasticity, then could I use the difference quotient? I've read that the average (or midpoint) is what they actually use.

difference quotient: f(x) = f(x+h) - f(x) / h

If it isn't that, then I think it is the midpoint formula. ???


Does anyone know the answer to this question? Or if I probably won't be asked to figure that, then let me know so I don't waste time trying to figure it out

Thanks,
Bee

OK so I need to get moving again - what's up with that? I have not taken a single exam since I have started dreading statistics (back when Steelers was taking it, lol) and somehow I have hit a brick wall in my progress. I am stalled at 89 credits. I don't know what is wrong with me and how I can get out of my funk - I am just so sick of it all. Anyone experienced this?

Hello, I just recently decided that I want a change in what I'm doing and want to get a degree in Computer Science. Now I'm 29 years old, no other college courses taken and like many adults I work full time so I have limited time as to when I can go to school. I've came across this site and how you can test into classes. Now Computer Science is a lot of math and programming, for the programming part I want to take the full college courses but for the math and electives required for my degree, I like the concept of CLEP, one for the time it will save me and two for the money it will save. If i can get my electives and some of the math classes out of the way I think I might be able to get my BS in 2.5 years, 3 tops, which is great for me. Now the the math part, can anyone suggest were to start in terms of courses, since i've been out of school for 10 years, i'd say i have a 9th or 10 grade math level, some basic algebra and that's about it, I see there's a few other programs other than CLEP, so I'll have to see if the college(Univ. of Missouri, St. Louis) I plan to attend will take. With CLEP do you have to be registered in with your college first in order to get the college credit for your exams or can I take the exams w/no college in mind?

Say, I was going through the Ic flashcards and I was really surprised at how easy the material was. Can I really expect to get basic questions about John lock, Benjamin Franklin, John wilkes booth, Thoman Pain, Charles dickens, Jack london etc. Do you know what I mean? Is instant cert really accurate in this one? So far evertything seems so basic (not that i'm complaining or anything!) I just wanted to know what everyone uses to study for this one or if IC alone is enough. On a side note, will I have to analyze literature also, or is it mainly connecting the author to the work? Thanks!

Finally I got my initial evaluation back, and I need 18 UL. From the 18, 6 can be Applied Profess. I already passed Drug Abuse and Abnormal Psych. as well as 6 more UL's from language proficiency tests.

The first question: For a Liberal Arts degree, would DSST Business Law II count as UL Applied Prof.? or it wouldn't count at all?

Since I also need 3 lower level credits, I was thinking about studying for Business Law I and II at the same time. If anyone has done that, please advise me.

Second question: From ECE Social Psych, Gerontology and Adulthood & Aging, which two are easier to pass?
Like I mentioned, I already passed Abnormal Psych. (B) and I'm schedule to take Research Methods tomorrow, based on that, what can I find easier?

I will take the DSST regular ULs, but I just want to plan ahead for the EC exams.

Thanks everybody for your advise.
