Hello,
I'm new to testing for credits. I need some help from you experts! My academic advisor told me that I can have 2 or 3 upper level DANTES/EXE tests for credits on my degree plan for Business Management Studies. These tests are to fill in the upper level electives only. I cannot take Business Management or Management Information Systems test. He recommened Drug & Alcohol Abuse as one, but left the other 1 or 2 open for me to fill in. I've heard the D&A is pretty easy, but not quite sure what other tests I should take and what I should use to study. I'm trying to get my degree done by summer (10 classes to go) and I'm enrolled in 3 for the next term beginning next week. Please let me know what you think I should go for- and I'm going for the easy tests as I don't have that much time to study for it. Thanks. :o

As you can see from my sig, I've got a target date of the end of the year for my current degree in General Business with Excelsior. The reason behind that date is that I have my 4500 hour requirement for the PMP certification. Without a bachelors degree, it requires 7500 hours of PM experience. One of the many reasons that I am pursuing a bachelors degree is in order to receive this certification.

Now my question is this:

Do you think it would behoove me to change to a Liberal Arts major to knock out the bachelors requirement, submit my application for the PMP test, and then continue my General Business path for my second major?

The upside would be that I could "theoretically" finish the Lib Arts degree much more quickly. This would allow me to concentrate fully on the (/shudder) Pre-calc classes that I am going to need to take for my business degree.

Potential downsides that I see is another application fee when it's time to receive the second major, but I was planning on pursuing a second major anyway. Any others that anyone can think of?

With a passing score, veterans can get their money reimbursed from the VA for a variety of tests.

I have been studing the dantes principles of statistics for about 2 weeks. The testing center only comes to our area once a month. The next time will be on the 31st. How do I know if I am ready? The clep tests all had practice tests that I used to gage myself....I haven't found any for Stats. :confused:
How do you guys know when to take the exam???? Any feed back is appreciated.

ok if i score a real high score on the Macroeconomics CLEP Study guide PDF file one, would that mean id do very good in the real exam?

Hi has anyone taken the biology clep exam, I ve seen the questions here and I have the text book CLEP biology, but is that sufficient....i mean is the actually exam contains any or some of the questions hosted here, your feedback is much appreciated.

OK everyone, here is a secret that may work for you and save you perhaps several thousand $$ in fees at Excelsior.

Excelsior has special agreements with certain groups and gives their members discounted enrollment fees and graduation fees. The only catch is you have to take so many class in residence at Excelsior or you will be charged the regular fees to graduate. EC exams do not count.

You can save about $700 in enrollement fees and then another $600 or $700 on graduation fees I believe.

One organization that you can join is the National Latino Peace Officers Association. You don't have to be latino and don't have to be a peace officer to join. I believe the cost is about $60 and Excelsior never checks to see that you are a member, they take your word for it. ( I am a member by the way and recommend that you join to be legit). Excelsior even has an ad on their membership application.

Save yourself some money. This is the real deal. You may be able to get this retro-active if you speak to the right advisor.

I need to take Soc300 as a general studies requirement for my degree. At my school they recognized the Dantes Human and Cultural Geography as an equivalent.

Instantcert doesn't have this course in their list. Has anyone taken it and can you recommend a study guide or other courses that instantcert has that are relevant to this test.

For the clep Social Science and History course, Instant cert recommends you review 6 other sets of questions they have because they don't have a specific set for that course. I was hoping that someone could recommend a similar suggestion for the Human and cultural Geography test. Or some other study guide.

Also, if anyone has taken the test is it hard? and what does it basically cover.

Thanks:

I can't tell you how helpful this forum has been in my quest to finally complete my undergrad degree. With that in mind, I'm about to register for my first CLEP exam. If I pass this it will get me off the hook for 4 semesters of Spanish. My university requires a minimum score of 50 on the foreign language exams. I've taken three Peterson's practice tests, and my scores were 73, 69, 77 respectively.

Is this a good indication that I could pass the actual CLEP test with at least a 50?

Many thanks!

Now I have read several post about the TESC "customer service" or lack there of, but my experience is just plan ole show of laziness. To start things off it took me and entire week of calling and leaving messages on the phone of the regional counselor to get one reply. Once I met him he invited me to his office to discuss TESC. Even though I felt like I had gained a decent of amount of knowledge from this site about TESC I decided to sit down and listen. He "insisted" that I take the paperwork home with me and look everything over (Mistake #1). I went back home and about 45 minutes had passed. I called tried to call him back to tell him that I had decided to go with TESC....NO ANSWER. That was almost three weeks ago, and I have called at least every other day since then.

Does ANYBODY know a different way inwhich I can register for the military degree completion, other than going through that guy?
