Hoorah!!!!

I am just back hilarious from the ECE World Population Exam and got a B grade. I would have got an A but for some silly mistakes.

I followed the tips given by everyone and I studied only from Thursday evening to Monday and took the exam on Tuesday morning.

The method I adopted was as under:

- went through ECE in Instantcert and made notes as I read through
- went through the Powerpoint slides for the textbook (Intro to Concepts and Issues by John Weeks)
- went through the prb bulletins (population handbook)
- morning of the exam - reviewed notes from Instantcert

The questions that I got on the exam predominantly related to overview of world population, fertility, mortality, demographic perspectives and population issues.

The key things to remember are:
- gain a good understanding of the overview of world population
- remember the different ways of calculating the various mortality and fertility rates
- understand the relationship between fertility and mortality on the increase/decrease in population
- read about China and India and their contribution to world population in terms of number and percentage
- read about the impact of migration in the US
- be sure to go through the case studies on the future of population (that is where I lost out).

Hope this will help anyone who is going to take the exam.

Regards and all the best.

I passed intro to psych with a 63 and info systems with a 62 today! My only study was with IC. Still waiting on results for personal finance DSST. A & I Lit tomorrow afternoon.

It's been about 3 weeks now and on their website they said that they received the transcripts from the two colleges that I also have credit with. How long did it take everyone else?

Hello again, Just wondering... I took a bunch of college classes way way back - like right out of high school, and of courese at that time I did not want to be in the classroom, so I did not do well. Now I want to do well. Do you think that if I just repeat the ones I need for the degree I want, that would help show a change in attitude? and help me get into the program I want? (only need to repeat about 5). Or should I just work on the other pre-req's and hope the school realizes that I have changed? Hope I made sense...

For anyone that has taken or is planning on taking the "CLEP: College Algebra" exam, has anyone used "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Algebra," and if so, was it useful or not? Thanks.

Hey everyone:

My advisor has suggested I test out of one of these classes since I am an early childhood education major. She thinks that since we may have to deal with child abuse issues in our field, one of these classes would be more beneficial than Principles of Supervision.

For those who have taken them, which would you suggest is the eaiser of the two.

Thanks,

Carol

Hello everyone. I have been lurking for sometime.
I have enjoyed all of the wonderful tips on here and the
way you all encourage one another.
My first clep is intro to psych. I am very nervous about it.
What wonderful tips can you all give me for studying?
I have read on here several times about people just studying for
a few days and take the test and pass.
How do you study that quickly?
Thanks for any advice

For all who have taken them - I just registered for my first exam: question is, they say you have to request a 50% refund or forfeit your exam fee. How do I do this and is this neccesary? I am just waiting for my username and pw for the pearsons site so I can start rockin' those ece exams.

Thought I would get you test veterans' opinion. I was thinking about taking the Natural Sciences CLEP in about 5 days. It has been a little over a month since I took Biology. In your opinion from taking the Natural Science exam, do I need more study time?

Hello all,

I just got in from taking the Principles of Marketing Clep. I studied about 8 days, going over instantcert flashcards three times, some two and writing all the terms on note cards. I used a practice test from 4tests.com and the Official Collegeboard practice exam. I also used a link from the specific feedback forum and good ole wikipedia on problem areas. I scored 61 without any real prior knowledge in this field.

This test seemed a little harder to me than the Management. My advice to those who plan on taking Marketing is simply to study. You'll get it if you apply yourself.

Thanks to all of you on the forum for your support!
