  New 2007 Principles of Financial Accounting
Posted by: adrian - 08-15-2006, 01:33 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (3)

I failed Principles of Accouting about 1 month ago so I am trying to take this new exam. Has anyone here taken it yet ? I guess my other alternative is to take the DANTES one. Any ideas ? I can go on in my course since PRin of Finance was a prerequisite to pretty much all my remaining classes. Sad

I have been looking through different threads, and have not seen such great things about the money and banking dsst test. If there is anyone out there who can give me their scores or words of wisdom for an extra boost, I would reallly appreciate it.

  Suggestions for upper level credits
Posted by: Braylen - 08-13-2006, 11:49 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (9)

OK, I'm 27 credits away from completing my degree through Excelsior, and can only have a limited number of any more Applied Professional classes. 24 of these need to be upper level.

I'm ready to take the CLEP "Intro to Educational Psychology", am signed up for "Graduate Research and Writing", and am working through "Abnormal Psychology." I've already completed the DSST Management Information Systems and a traditional upper level Business Ethics (so I don't think I could use the ECE "Ethics: Theory & Practice" exam).

Right now I'm looking at taking the following:

  • Organizational Behavior (ECE) - (will finish my concentration in Psychology)
  • Business Law II (DSST)
  • Human Resource Management (ECE) (these two finish concentration in Business)
Then I need three more 9 more Upper Level credits, and right now I'm leaning toward:
  • Drug and Alcohol Abuse (DSST)
  • World Population (ECE)
  • Foundations in Gerontology (ECE)
Assuming I only want to take exams, does anyone have suggestions for better tests to take? I picked these based on what I perceived to be the ones with the most resources available to help prepare, but didn't really research which might be the easiest. I *do* want to ace all of the tests, since I have a 4.0 average right now, and there's no point in screwing it up at this point, so ease and prep materials are key (i.e., availability of good sample tests to verify readiness).

I don't want to skimp on my education or anything, but I'm really interested in a particular Master's program, so the quicker I can get through this (obviously) the better.

Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.

  New exams? Any for ECE?
Posted by: Braylen - 08-13-2006, 11:36 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (7)

The main website says that a couple of exams are added monthly - is that true, and do you all see a trend to cover more ECE exams?

I've got a number I want to take that I have some professional exposure to, so don't want to do the full scale course if I don't have to (like Human Resources, Organizational Behavior, Business Law) and would love to have a test preparation validation tool like this.

Other than this site and IStudySmart - are there any other tools out there that people are using to prepare for the ECE exams? I'll post separately about looking for help with which to take.

  Question re: using IStudySmart for ECE exams
Posted by: Braylen - 08-13-2006, 09:27 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (5)

I only need help with two more DSST exams and no CLEPs, but have a handful of ECE exams to do still. I'm considering using IStudySmart, but was curious about the experiences others here have had. I'm currently working though Abnormal Psych, but without having taken a test, don't have a sense of how good of a prep this is or will be.

I'm not interested in just passing the exams, but in maintaining my GPA as I want to work on my Masters. I know it's not really a big deal, but it's a matter of pride, and all things being equal, who knows if it might not matter to some school.

Anyone have any insight or perspective on this? Also, any other good references for ECE exams - as clear as I can tell, InstaCert only has one ECE test listed.

Thanks in advance.

  GRE discussion
Posted by: shadowcross - 08-13-2006, 09:22 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (2)

When I Inquired of the GRE examinations, my education councilors, said these are out of the question until, after I get a bachelor's degree.

I realize these tests are super-hard, but the rewards up to 30 credits, is far too tempting.

So is there any pre-qualifications to take the GRE?

Cheers!

  A limit on Associates?
Posted by: shadowcross - 08-13-2006, 08:19 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (6)

I know that there is a limit on earning multiple Bachelor's degrees, in the form that only 90 of said credits will transfer to the new Bachelor's, plus a few more restrictions.

But are there any restrictions on the earning of multiple Associates?

I ask this because, I am just a few exams away from completing my CCAF AAS Aircraft Maintenance Technology, and then want to focus on the AS of Business through Excellsior.

And then, As I plan to get at least, two Bachelor's (neither of which have anything to do with Aircraft), the other in Arts (probably Psychology), If I can also earn an associate of Arts, as well.

These Associates degrees may not carry as much weight as Bachelors, but they are, in a way, an important milestone that mark the halfway point.

So can I have multiple associates, or since I'll already have one (CCAF AAS AMT), I'll have to skip right to the bachelors

any information would be helpful

cheers!

  Science Exams?
Posted by: austinpwrz - 08-13-2006, 08:15 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (2)

I need nine natural science credits. Science and math just aren't my thing. Fortunately, I already have my math credits from courses I took way back in college. Can anyone suggest some science exams for someone who HATES science?
hilarious

My school, Thomas Edison, has a 6 credit 12-week course on environmental science that I could probably handle. (Cost isn't a factor in whether to take a test or not since with TE you can pay a year's tution in one shot.) If I take the class I still would need 3 credits. Any suggestions? Thanks.

  Interpreting ECE Ethics practice exam results
Posted by: hunter2115 - 08-13-2006, 05:15 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (10)

I just completed the 1st of the 2 ECE Ethics practice exams and wonder if anyone can shed some light on my results. My score was 64 of 100 points. Sad My statistical result shows 88.73 percentile, with a mean % of 43.72%. What exactly do these results tell me? I'm wondering how this score might result if this were my score on the actual exam. I wish they would give a letter grade- at least I would know if I would have received a C or not. Would a 64/100 translate into a D and therefore a failure on the actual exam?:confused: EC exam grading seems much less straightforward then CLEP or DSST results. Any help is appreciated!
