Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the Excelsior Associates degree diploma????

My family is ordering a frame for me but doesn't know which size to get.

Any help??? Any vendors that do a good job for a fair price? I don't have enough equity to take out a third mortgage on my house.

I am scoring an average of 60% in the instacert tests..! I will continue practicing and reading everyone's suggestions but do you think I'm ready??

Also, is it a 47 that I need to get to pass? Or what was the score?

Will someone please let me know what link I access to print a copy of my DSST exam. Thank you

I studied this time. :-)

Just received that beautiful big brown envelope from DSST. Passed statistics with a 64! I am SO glad to have this one done.

There were 90 problems on the version I sat. Of those 19 dealt with probability. This should be good news for all of you who find the probability type questions the easiest. There were four problems that dealt with leaf and stem or box plots. There were three problems that dealt with significance levels and six that understanding the null hypothesis was very helpful if not necessary.

There were two questions that if you did not know the difference between a sample mean and a population mean you could get the wrong answer because both answers were included in the choices.

There wasn't any question on my calculator which is a BAII-plus. But just in case there might have been by the time I was ready to actually sit the exam, I made sure that I memorized the main formulas, and following previous advice, I wrote them on my scrap paper as soon as I went in. That turned out to be helpful for focus even though I didn't need to use them for more than a few problems. One formula that I wish I had memorized was the one for figuring out sample sizes. I thought that I had it down pat but totally spaced on how to figure it out once I was there. There were three questions that I needed to know it for and I'm sure that I missed all three.

Part of the stress of studying for this one for me was the lack of practice tests. The Dummies workbook was a real help for me to build some confidence.

I think that everything else that I could share has already been mentioned. Follow the Fact Sheet from DSST, the advice in the specific feedback thread and know everything in the flashcards and you should do very well.

Passed w/ 58. Please excuse previous post... stress took over

Well, first things first: I'm new around here, so I'm George.

I'm wondering if I could ask a question of some folks who've taken one or both of the abovementioned CLEP tests.

My guess is that I could go in and take the exam with relative ease. At community college, I had an introductory literature course; at university, I had a poetry-writing class, a Shakespeare class, a Gender and Literature class, and two American Lit classes (one, 1500s to 1800s; the other, 1800s to present). I've seen the free (collegeboard.com) outline and know probably 90% of the terms and other content. I still remember the content of the courses, too.

All that said, does it sound like I have enough former Literature coursework / knowledge to handle (without much difficulty) the type of content and questions these exams ask?

Hi

Just recently joined the forum, I am a Canadian and doing my degree at Excelsior. I am wondering how can I take FEMA courses and incorporate those in my degree.

I do understand that they don't offer official certifications to non residents, but also realized they will let you get certification if any of the US organizations, sponsor you to take those courses. I am unable to find any of such organizations, I tried one in the US, I am not sure if they will help me or not.

But, I would like to know if any of you have been in similar situation. I also talked to one of the Canadian organization, he asked me to ask my college to sponsor me ?? What should I do ?

Between, I am ex employee of one of the US IT consulting company! Would they be able to sponsor me ? I haven't talked to them yet regarding this.

please input your advice.

Thanks

I am new here and I have been going over the Instantcert study cards for Here's to your health. What I would like to know is this enough? Is there something else I should be studying?
I earned my Associates online through WIU/AXIA and am currently enrolled at Universtiy of Phoenix, I have one core class left and 24 elective credits I will then need. I would rather CLEP/Dantes test out rather then take the class. Any advice?

I have completed all the test outs I can do for my degree (51 credits total). I was eligible to do one more "College Algebra" but decided just to take the class. I only have 7 more classes to complete and I will have completed my BS in Information Systems Management, all of them are my last 400 level except the one math I skipped. I tested out of the following classes over the last 2.5 years.

CLEP:
American Government
Introductory Psychology
Introductory Sociology
Principles of Macroeconomics
Principles of Management
Principles of Microeconomics
US History 2

DSST:
Civil War & Reconstruction
Drug & Alcohol Abuse
Environment and Humanity The Race to Save the Planet
Ethics in America
Here's to Your Health
Management Information Systems
Principles of Statistics
Principles of Supervision.
Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union
Technical Writing

I want to wish you all the best of luck with your educational pursuits.
