Any tips do I need to supplement instantcert questions with a textbook? Anything to foscus on?

Hey everyone. I was just wondering what is the format of the TESC degree. I plan on going for the Psy degree. I noticed that TESC states Psy as an "Area of study". Does that mean that there BA's say Bachelor of Arts instead of Bachelor of Art in Psychology. Like the Excelsior Liberal Arts major. Just wondering.

I recieved an engineering degree 20 years ago from a university. I'd like to start working on a business degree now, maybe in accounting. Will a college like Excelsior let me use credits from my first degree to cover general education requirements or not? Does it matter that the credits have already been used to grant a Bachelor's degree? thanks,
Anne

Where are you getting your books for LSU, EC, Penn Foster and other traditional/online classes? I just purchased from half.com but felt that there could be a less expensive source.

Im leaving instentcert at the end of this month. For those who have read my psycology post i didnt pass my last test. And so my mom and i thought it might be a good idea to take a year off and get my prioritys straight. thank you all for your help over the last few months.

I passed the Dantes Health exam with a 64 using only this site for study material. It really is as easy as others have said.

I passed the Clep A&I Literature with a 70 yesterday for another 6 credits with only Peterson's for study material.

These forums were so helpful and encouraging. Thanks everyone!

I am working toward a degree in Business (Finance and Accounting) at TESC, and I have used CLEP and DANTES for the core requirements. All I have left are the areas of study and the business electives.

I understand that TESC has all the courses I would need to take to qualify for the accounting degree, but I wanted to also take a second major in finance. TESC doesn't have the courses I would need for finance, and I would have to study them elsewhere.

Does anyone know a college where I could take the finance courses via distance learning? Also, can anyone tell me what courses might double for both requirements? Thomas Edison says that 9 of the credits could go cover both areas of study.

Thanks for your help~

Ok.....
I'm in the middle of arguing with Excelsior about refunding my tuition for their Business Statistics course ($900)since the professor (a PhD) has only shown up online once or twice in the first 10 days of the course and failed to show up for the first chat that he scheduled!, and has not answered one of my posted questions. I've dropped the class and am now facing the need to pass the DSST exam having taken College Algebra "just" about 24 years ago! I have 3 classes left counting this one to complete my BS in Gen Business. I've returned to IC to help. From what I am seeing, IC, the Annenburg series, an the "Idiots Guide to Stats" seems to be the right road. I also have the Standard Deviates Stats videos (which I have always liked). I have more calculators on hand then I care to mention, although I'm not all that confident in my ability to use any of them other than for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing (maybe a square root or two for good measure) yet still hoping that one of them will get this math-phobic through this one last math experience. So... one more time...any words of wisdom??? This cannot stop me from completing my degree!! Any help is greatly appreciated!

With Statistics out of the way and my Accounting II class in full swing, I decided to try to pick up the pace after my three month lay-off/Statistics studying. I need two more classes to complete my elective Arts and Sciences credits for my Excelsior BGB. I originally planned to take the American Gov't CLEP, however, a little poking around on this forum changed my mind.

First, it occurred to me that I want a good GPA--just because. More "A" letter grades will off-set the few old "C's" I had to keep around from many years ago. So then I looked at the DSST list again and compared it to the Specific Feedback section here.

DSST Criminal Justice looked very easy and within a week I was very comfortable with all the flashcards. I don't think I could have prepared for American Gov't that quickly and I would not have received a letter grade for the exam. So I scheduled that test for this coming Monday and today I began studying for DSST Ethics in America and ECE Ethics: Theory and Practice. Again, the specific feedback was encouraging and I'm hoping for a 2 for 1.

I scheduled September 26 for both. I have a parent/teacher conference at 7:45 a.m. followed by the DSST Ethics test locally at 9 a.m. and the ECE Ethics test an hour across town at 12:30 p.m.

I feel like if I can pull that off it'll make up a little for my summer lull. If successful, I'll probably try taking at least three weeks each to prepare for my CLEP Macro and Microeconomics and see where I'm at heading into the holidays.

That's my plan. Comments? Observations? What's yours?

Hello everyone,

I Have read the limited posts in the specific feedback section and was wondering if anyone has used Instacert as a tool and to what degree?
None of the post mentioned anything about the Instacert section.

Also, how much math is on the actual test?

Thanks,
Mike
