Hi everyone,
I am a new member to this forum and to this whole process. I have been search for information on how to get started but I haven't really found what I'm looking for. My questions are do I need to sign up for college before I started taking the exams or can I do the exams first?
What I want to achieve is this. I want to become a certified teacher therefore, which program from exclecior should I major in. I'm in need of examples of what course and exams you all took in order to get your degrees.
Please forgive me if I am not clear if thats the case I'll try to be more specific.

Hey guys. I'm relatively new to the clepping business. I'm taking college math tomorrow and i'm really nervous. I'm studying from the comex book. Is that enough? Any advice, tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx,

I passed the Arkansas Real Estate licensing exam on Wednesday (the day before passing Tech Writing). My trip to Memphis was enjoyable and VERY productive! I look forward to starting my real estate career with a local brokerage and eagerly work toward the day I finish my degree in land surveying. Thank you all for all the encouragement and continued best wishes on the pursuit of your goals!!!

Next up, College Algebra and Chemistry ...

I am planning on taking my first dsst exam - organizational behavior tomorrow (I can call and schedule same day), just how different are the computer based dantes exams compared to the clep exams. For some reason I am really, really nervous.

Do the Peterson Pratice tests hit spot on for the Clep test for College Algebra? I thought I had read a couple of posts stating they did not need their calculator when they went to take the exam. I know I also read not to make it bigger than it is HAHAHA!

Basically, I am trying to figure out if taking the Petersons pratice tests will give me a good idea when I am ready for the test. I just don't want to jump before I am ready. I have to have this test out of the way before 8/20. If (God forbid) I don't pass the test I need to enroll in a class and that is the start date for the classes at the community college.

Does anyone know if the DSST - "Business Mathematics" satisfies Excelsiors college algebra or above requirement? Any info will be greatly appreciated!

Why does 4p to the -3rd power equal 4/p to the third power when simplified, and not 1/4p to the third power?

Edit: Nevermind, I think I got it, sort of.

Okay, trying to keep it quiet as to not jinx myself, I intended on taking my first CLEP exam today (Analyzing and Interpreting Eng Lit). So, I am all prepared, I look over the Petersons tests that I have taken and am feeling pretty good about taking this test.

I called the test center at 9:00AM and got the recording telling me the hours of the center. Open Monday BLAH BLAH BLAH, on Saturday 8:30AM to 1:00PM.

I drive 45 minutes to get to the center, leaving myself plenty of time, just in case anything might happen, (flat, wreck on highway, spilled coffee - hilarious this is my usual thing to do when I am in a hurry). So I get to the center.

:mad: There is a sign on the door, [SIZE="5"]Closed - Will reopen Monday at 7:30AM[/SIZE].

I could just scream. Now I am going to have to take 2 tests on Monday, just to make up for the aggravation of driving over there today.

Wish me luck!

Of my IC sections that I have went through, I am getting about 70% correct on each section. THIS IS MY FIRST EXAM USING ONLY IC, so I want to know what most of you look for in regard to your accuracy before you test to feel comfortable that you'll pass? :confused: 80%? 100%?


I am taking US History II

I was wondering if it was difficult for anyone else to find time slots to schedule Excelsior College Exams at their Pearson Testing Center? Mine has been especially difficult for me this month. There are maybe four apointments open per week, nearly all at 8AM near the end of the week while I'm working. I schedule my appointments usually a month or more in advance, and the calendars are still booked up. I look ahead two, three months in advance and see the same pattern. I have rescheduled two appointments in the past and noticed that the old appointments did not open back up on the online calendar. And one more odd thing I noticed: there are usually 3-4 open computers every time I test, even if the calendar shows it booked. What gives? :confused:
