Hi everybody, I'm interested in a BS in Computer Science at Excelsior College, but I'm not sure whether their General Education requirements include the Oral Communication like Charter Oak?

I already took the Speech 100 (aka: Interpersonal Communication or Speech 101) at my local college. Does it satisfy the Oral Communication requirement in case Excelsior College requires the Oral Commnunication?

Thanks for your help.

I can not write if my life depanded on it. which test is easyist?

I did a search through the threads, and I may have missed it, but I could not find anything about the GRE Psychology subject test.

My college (Charter Oak) awards 18 credits if you score in the 40 percentile or better.

My concentration is in psychology and I have been preparing using a Kaplan test prep book and some of my old texts. I'm scheduled to take the exam on 11/03/07.

Is anyone else taking the test on this day? I'd also love to hear a first-hand account (experiences...scores, etc.) of anyone who has taken the exam.

1) has anyone solely relied on REA to pass their US history exams?

2) i was at the bookstore today and looked through the us history 2 REA book and noticed how much fewer pages of material it has compared to the us history 1 REA book. i read through and highlighted my us history 1 book a few months ago but all the info has kept me from taking the exam, esp since my main priorities are my B&M courses. the us history 1 book has over 100 pages worth of text while the us hist 2 book has about 70 pages of info. can anyone tell me from experience if there is a difference in quality between these two books? if there isn't, i wouldn't mind buying the other book and memorizing 70 pages of facts instead of 100+ pages.

i know my question sounds lazy but i just desperately need a pass with minimal work. i don't have much time to dwell on this non-major subject since i overload on B&M courses and work nearly full-time. i usually like to learn history but hate being tested on it b/c there's just so much to remember in one sitting. all those crazy names and battles in us history 1 discourage me so much. and the reason behind me taking this clep exam upsets me even more b/c i technically did have a us history credit that was lost during credit transfers. sorry for the ranting in my last paragraph but please help =(

I have the clep into. psychology. i just took the practice test and did not do well. i was VERY surprised that a majority of the question material was NOT covered in the book. This has me very worried that i will not be prepared for the test. Is there any information on what i should know to prepare for this clep test or maybe additional material i should study. thank you,

Has anybody heard of this school? I was considering CCU, but after chatting with my sup last night, it appears upper management would only approve RA schools for MBA program. I did a lot of reading from schools like Mississippi State, CSU - DH, and a few others. I noticed Touro University International's Tuition for California residences and government employees is $750.00 instead of $1,250.00 per course and it mentions the following for books "All textbooks and course materials are on TUI's cyber Library, so there is no additional cost to you." The total MBA tuition is $8,100.

For those that have taken the macroeconomics exam, how long did you study and how difficult did you find the exam? I am leaning towards taking this exam in the next two weeks or so, but wanted to get some feedback from those that have successfully completed the exam.

I passed the Freshman English Comp CLEP test without essay today and found it fairly easy.

I had over 30 minutes left and found most of the questions had three very obvious wrong answers, and a couple of maybes. I only used this site and the REA book for study materials. And Honestly I did real poor job of studying for this test compared to some of the others so was a bit worried about it going into it.

I found most of the questions centered on comprehension, and sentence structure. There were very few questions on references and word meaning.

Last but not least this was the last test for me and I am officialy done with everything I needed for my degree !!! So I think its time to go celebrate for a few hours. Good Luck to all !

I don't even know where to start with this because I'm a little frustrated now. I'm currently taking English Comp and English Prose Analysis and Interpretation online at a local community college. During this time, I also signed up for human anatomy online at BYU's site because the local school had no openings, but later dropped that class about 3 weeks into the course due to lack of support. That's when I found this website and still kicking myself for not finding it earlier. lol. I then started studying U.S. History I CLEP test. I'm sure if I take the test now I will most likely pass, but doubt I will do this. That's one of the reasons for my frustration. I spent a few months on deciding what to do with that 3rd class.

Right now, I need to get some direction. I'm beginning to think I can get a lot accomplished by taking Dantes and CLEP exams over the next year, but also take some courses at my local college. Prior to coming to this site, my goal was to complete my B.S. in Liberal Arts at Excelsior College ASAP, then study for my LSAT exam and apply to law school.

I thought about the dual MBA/JD degree route, but the schools that offer that is way too expensive and requirements to get in is too strict. I think the best route for me is to do the MBA route first, then hit law school because my current employer would pay 4,000 per year for the school. As I mentioned previously, I'm a little frustrated because I didn't take any of the foundation courses and it appears I will need to take more classes than I have left to graduate. To a certain point, I don't mind because my current GPA is 3.0 and I have a few "C" I can replace.

I have checked out a few schools that mention I need to complete Foundation courses prior to doing the MBA. Others that don't require it, strongly suggest you complete in order to become successful in passing the MBA.

Foundation Courses - Of course I haven't done these.
1.) Survey of Accounting or Financial and Managerial Accounting
2.) Survey of Economics or Micro and Macroeconomics
3.) Survey of Quantitative Business Analysis or Bus. Statistics and College Algebra
4.) Survey of Management & Operations or Principles of Management or higher
5.) Survey of Marketing or Principles of Marketing
6.) Survey of Finance or Business Finance.

I currently have 3 lower division and 7 upper division Arts & Sciences classes to graduate. I've already completed my applied professional portion. Of course, I know I need to take additional, as some courses above are not A&S courses.

Here is the initial route I'm thinking of doing and hope to get some feedback. First off my math SUCKS. It's been over 20 years since I have taken algebra. My transcript shows a "C" for Intro to Algebra and I know I will have a hurdle to get past Statistics.

It appears that Sac State has an agreement with Math Success located at for 35 dollars I can brush up on my math using this program and IC, as well as studying for Dantes Fundamentals of College Algebra, then study for Dantes Principles of Statistics. I take it, I should work on my math skills prior to the other courses.

I need to get some feedback on the rest of the route. Which ones to CLEP, Dantes, or recommend from any online courses. Maybe like order of preferences. I'm sure I will still have more upper division arts & sciences left to complete even though I do the foundation courses above. As you see, I'm a little frustrated because it will take me longer than expected.

On the MBA, I was really focusing on regional schools, but CCU is really looking attractive as I can do this at my own pace and not get too old to apply to law school. I just want to make sure I get the MBA done prior to hitting law school.

Okay, I took the online DSST practice exam for Environment and Humanity offered on DSST's website. I printed everything out and after having to calculate myself what kind of score I got, it didn't turn out the greatest. So now I'm reviewing everything and their so-called "Rationale" have ZERO rationale behind it! For example, Q). Which of the following does NOT represent an environmentally sound land use management system? R). Correct answer represents an unsound system. What is That?!?! I'm extremely frustrated at DSST's lack of competence in this area.

To get to my main point, sorry for the delay, I need to know the Percentage of Annual Population Change Here was the Question:

Q). The mathematical formula that represents the percentage of annual population change is expressed as which formula? (Note: CBR [crude birth rate] = # births/1000 population/year. CDR [crude death rate] = # deaths/1000 population/year.)

A. (CBR / CDR) x 10% = % population change/yr.
B. (CBR - CDR) / 10% = % population change/yr.
C. (CDR + CBR) / 10% = % population change/yr.
D. (CBR x CDR) / 10% = % population change/yr.

R). All but the correct answer are completely contrived and make no mathematical sense. "laugh" THAT was their answer and rationale behind it!

HELP! :confused:
