For weeks I pumped my brain to full capacity for the social sciences and history exam. I arrived today (ready to burst) only to find the server was down. I hung out for an hour, but it became too late to start. Besides, it still wasn't up.:mad:

Well....I am certainly sure that by the time I can get over and take this test (2 weeks from now!!!!!!) that I won't remember a thing. Well, ok, that's exagerating- but really- I was ready TODAY, not in two weeks.

So, my dilemma, should I
a) Start to study for my next test and then just quick review this one a day or so before the exam?
b) Continue to study for this exam- there is more I could work on world history/western civ.

:confused:

I passed DSST MIS today with a 61 after intensive study for only two weeks. I wish I could give everyone advice on the exam but I remember none of the questions. This is the first exam in which I remember nothing..LOL. I was under the weather to start and then had to go in-and-out of the testing room because of technical problems, so my mind was not focused on trying to remember specific questions.

I would say the IC flashcards are all you need to pass but you need to know them forwards and back. I think it may be difficult to pass if you only went through the flashcards once or twice.

Yesterday, I took am gov. and got a 55. I think I would have gotten better but I had an emergency come up and had to hurry up on the last 20 questions or so. So far I have been a member of IC for 2 weeks and have passed 2 tests using pretty much only IC. Tomorrow I plan on taking A&I literature, I have looked over the tests at petersons and I did alright, but I am going to give it a shot anyway. As far as the gov test went. I studied IC for about 5 days and could get about a 90% or so on them and then I took the petersons and got a 49, 46, and 65, but it didnt matter because I passed the test. If anyone is thinking of taking this I suggest it. IC is probably enough, I will say though, that the petersons test are about twice as hard. Thanks to everyone for the feedback on other posts for me to research, a lot of great teamwork here.

Hi,

My husband is interested in finishing his BS via testing. I've been looking at different degree requirements for each of the Big Three, and it looks like COSC might be the best fit for him since he has 117 credits and has already completed most of their General Ed requirements.

I've also read that an Individualized Studies concentration requires 18 upper level credits-- no problem there. But all of his upper level credits are engineering related applied professional credits. I know that Excelsior requires at least 21 upper level credits in liberal arts for their Liberal Studies degrees. Does anyone know if COSC requires any number of upper level liberal arts credits for their Individualized Studies program? I'd call them, but it's already late on that side of the country and I'm a keystroke away from sending his application :o

[edit] Also, does COSC accept "D" letter grades from traditional classes in transfer?

I had this question on 4tests.com. Can anyone explain it? Thanks!

Wal-Mart's buying office just purchased leather belts for $30.00 each. They want a 20% markup at retail on the belts. What retail price should they charge?

Answer = $37.50

Passed ECE Ethics with an "A". This was my last exam requirement for my BSL degree. I want to say thank you to all the board members for your help, support and motivation. I don't think I would have accomplished this as fast as I did (not blazing like some), only averaged an exam every 2 weeks, or I would not have accomplished it at all if it werent for this board. Well now I get to call my mom. Surprising even at 46 yrs old you want your mom to be proud of you.. grin... Thanks again everyone.

Hi All-
When I began this journey with my husband, we were both lost as to which direction to go and what tests to take first. With that in mind, I wanted to list the tests that I took for my Psychology degree and the order in which I took them, in the hope that this will help to guide new students. This is not to say that this is the way that you should travel. It is just to give you an idea of maybe where to begin.

I started when I was 47 years old. It has been a difficult but very rewarding journey. I've made several friends along the way who have helped me, and without them I think I would have taken many tests that I didn't need. At times I was so discouraged I didn't think I would ever be able to accomplish this. One time I packed it all up and said "enough". I just wanted to share this so if you get discouraged, I want you to know that others have also. Just don't quit! Keep trying! You can do this too!

Sociology (CLEP)
Macroeconomics (CLEP)
Microeconomics (CLEP)
US Govt (CLEP)
Psychology (CLEP)
US Hist 1 (CLEP)
US Hist 2 (CLEP)
(I needed all the previous tests to be able to take Social Studies & History. They could be taken in any order, although I would recommend starting with Sociology and then Psychology. As Macro & Micro are harder exams, I would recommend taking them after the two History exams.)
Social Studies & History (CLEP)*
English Composition (ECE)
Statistics (DSST)
College Algebra (CLEP)
Humanities (CLEP)*
Accounting (CLEP)*
Principles of Finance (DSST)
Ethics (DSST)
Ethics (ECE)
College Math (CLEP)*
Analyzing & Interpreting Literature (CLEP)*
Introduction to Computing (DSST)
Info Systems & Computer Application (CLEP)
Operations Management (TECEP)
Principles of Management (CLEP)
Principles of Supervision (DSST)
Human Resources Mgmt (DSST)
Principles of Marketing (CLEP)
Introduction to Business (DSST)
Information Literacy (ECE)
Introduction to Business Law (1) (CLEP)
FEMA (2 credits)
Business Policy (TECEP)
Human Growth & Development (CLEP)
Introduction to Education Psychology (CLEP)
Abnormal Psychology (ECE)
Research Methods (ECE)
Adulthood & Aging (ECE)
Foundations of Gerontoloty (ECE)
Social Psychology (ECE)
Organization Behavior (ECE)

*These exams were worth 6 credits each; all other exams listed were worth 3 credits each. NOTE: the 6 credit CLEP Accounting exam is no longer available and has been replaced by a 3 credit exam that only covers one half of the original exam.

If you are taking College Math, I would highly recommend taking it right after or right before College Algebra. If you need Money and Banking, I would take it right after Macro and Micro (taken in that order). I took Intro to Business AFTER the business courses because it made it very easy to just go over InstantCert. The only reason I saved ECE Organizational Behavior for last was to see what grade I needed for my GPA; however, a good time to take OB would be right after or right before taking the DSST or ECE Human Resources Management exam. The ECE Information Literacy exam can be taken at any time and does provide some valuable information.

I feel it is very important that you obtain a copy of the "Student Guide to Credit by Examination at Excelsior College" assessment catalog. This catalog will clearly show which CLEP, DSST, and ECE exams meet each of the degree requirements and the scores required to pass each exam. This catalog does not include the Thomas Edison exams (TECEP) that can fulfill some of the requirements.

Please note that the requirements for the Excelsior College Psychology degree have changed as of January 1, 2007. You can no longer completely test out of a Psychology degree (please see the Excelsior College School of Liberal Arts catalog for details).

I hope that this will be of some help to those of you just beginning on your journey. Remember that all of our journeys will be different, but hopefully this will give some guidelines to those who need a starting point.

Why does a^1/4 x b^2/4 = (ab^2)^1/4?
