  Help! Natural Science Recommendations
Posted by: japprend - 08-22-2007, 10:06 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (4)

I have to take a natural science course to qualify for a 3-credit requirement at TESC.

A lady at Thomas Edison recommended I take the Environment DSST test as the Intro to Computing no longer qualifies as a Natural Science. I am not really into the sciences, and I'm looking for the easiest test available from Dantes or CLEP. I took the Chemistry CLEP years ago, and just barely missed passing by 3 points! Your advice would be very much appreciated!

I was considering:
DSST
Environment and Humanity
Astronomy
Physical Science
Physical Geology

CLEP
is the Biology or Natural Science even worth considering given that I only need 3 credits?

  Graphing Radical Expressions
Posted by: mstcrow5429 - 08-22-2007, 09:43 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (1)

On the CLEP College Algebra test, do I have to graph or know how to graph radical expressions, such as g(x) = 2 square_root x + 3?

x + 3 is the radicand, not sure how to plop a square root symbol down.

  Graduation Gift - Excelsior
Posted by: AMPawlak227 - 08-21-2007, 08:26 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (4)

I received the bill today from Excelsior for the graduation fee for my Associate's degree. I was surprised to see another line item on the invoice titled "Graduation Gift to the College" for $35. The fine print does state that it is optional and it can be manually removed from the total invoice amount. The inclusion of the item at all strikes me as a little gutsy. I have to admit I'm a bit tempted to add another line for "Graduation Gift to the Student" and subtract out part of the fee...but I am not quite brave enough. I put too much effort into this degree to risk it now!

  Any advice on what to do after earning Associates?
Posted by: wsledz - 08-21-2007, 07:42 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (5)

Hi
I am new to these wonderful boards and am currently studying for my 4th CLEP exam. LOVE THEM! What a great way to earn credits. I really thought I would stop my education after earning my Associates in Early Childhood Education, but after finding out about CLEP and DSST, it makes me think going on for my Bachelors might not be so bad. Would anyone be so kind as to guide me to the next step? Do you know what online colleges/universities allow you to earn a Bachelor Degree in Early Childhood (preschool level) through online or CLEP/DSST testing? I would really appreciate your advice. Thanks, Cindy

  Practice test for MIS?
Posted by: Farmerboy - 08-20-2007, 03:06 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (2)

Hello all,
I was wondering if there are any practice tests for MIS? If there isn't would the practice tests for Info. Systems be comparable? I'm feeling pretty confident on the material but just would like to gauge my progress. Thanks

  One Degree Down - One To Go!!!!
Posted by: yutzyj - 08-20-2007, 10:54 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (12)

Hi Everyone-
As you can tell by my signature I have finished my Psychology Degree! I am so excited!!!!!!! I took my last test last Monday afternoon. As soon as my degree is conferred, I will be able to re-enroll back into the School of Business and work on my primary degree - an Accounting Degree.

I want to thank everyone on this Forum for giving me support and encouragement. I couldn't have done it without all of you. I especially want to thank my husband, Kiwi Lover and Snazzlefrag. Without their help I don't know if I would have been able to make it. InstantCert is such an integral part of my journey. I have to give a special thanks to Steve and InstantCert because I was able to do in such a short period of time what would have taken me years to accomplish. Thank you, Steve, for this marvelous product and the awesome Forum site. Smile

This is such a dream come true for me. I never even allowed myself to have this dream. I can't tell you what it means to me! At 48 if I can do it, so can you! I am lucky to have the love and support and partnership of my husband. He just graduated from Excelsior with an MIS Degree (conferred July 20, 2007). Without him discovering this way of earning a degree, it would have never happened for me.
