Yes, my friends, in just seven short weeks (44 days), that's all! At least it was a pass, just barely... with a whopping 48!! I used the IC for this and the UL Ethics Theory and Practice (I got a B on this one... figure that one out). Still pressing on with studying for World Pop, sure would be nice if there was more IC guides for the ECEs (hint hint). I have 4 more test results out there somewhere but God only knows how long those will take. It seems this process would be faster with all the technology we have available to us. Oh well, gotta get back to studying. Lee

I searched this, and saw that a few had taken it.
At this point, I'm planning on taking it tomorrow with Here's to your health.

They will be my first Dsst exams.

I took a practice exam this morning for Fundamentals, and it scared me to death. I scored 31 out of 50 and there was so much about theorists on it, as well as specific statistics regarding suicide, alcohol.

I'm not sure about this aspect either....I copied and pasted my answers on a word document, because I wasn't sure I could access my test score and answers again on the site the same way I do with practice Cleps.

Any new thoughts on this exam in general?

Also how do the getcollegecredit.com Peterson's practice tests compare to the real thing? There were only 50 questions. I would have to pay another 19.95 get another version of the test. Ack! I can take the one I took this morning again.

I thought I would be fine with this exam, because I have some counseling background, as well as an interest in the subject, plus have taken a lot of social science courses. I'm just not sure what to think. Feeling pretty jittery about it...lots of other life stuff going on too.

Just yell at me or something, not sure what I need here. I may be "weirding out" as I reach the end of my testing out road. :confused:

Luckily the Brits followed in Americas footsteps with a similar piece of legislation as the patriot act, or we would of potentially lost more lives today then in Pearl Harbor or September 11. What do you guys think about the foiled plot?

We've added materials for the Excelsior College Exam named Psychology of Adulthood and Aging. This should count for upper-level credit at most colelges that award credit for ECEs

Since this is one fo the first Excelsior exams we've made materials specifically for, we're anxious to hear your feedback, so please keep us posted on your results!

Next Up should be Gerontology ECE

Good luck....

Passed CLEP Humanities today (61) after studying with IC (Great resource), REA (awesome guide) and Comex (somewhat helpful) guides for about two weeks.

My college accepts either the Eng. Comp with essay and the one without. Which one is easier and other than the obvious what are the other differences ? Should I take the DANTES one or the CLEP ? Please share your experiences with me.

My other question is if I pass an exam but do not have the pre-req will my college still accepts it anyway ?

Thanks all.

Has anyone used the Dantes MIS test to fulfill one of 6 "subject matter" classes required for a Bachelor's of MIS degree at Excelsior? Just trying to get my ducks in a row before officially enrolling, and to date no one with experience can answer this for me. Muchas gracias for any assistance anyone can provide.

I just wanted to start this thread back up because the last one got a little side tracked.

All of you MSCE's and CCNA's and Comptia+'s have it easy! I'm RHCE and I can't find a school that grants credit for that cert. (I would like it to be worth 10,000 Applied Professional credits, but will settle for 2)

College credit for certification is a wonderful thing. I just wish I didn't have to wait (until next month) to get my CCNA to use it!

I took this today and passed with an A. I got feedback from people who had taken it on degreeinfo.com, and found that really useful. I used an old edition of the recommended textbook, along with the study guide that goes with it - I actually used this study guide, because there was a list of multiple choice questions for every chapter, and it ended up being the equivalent of a practice test. I also used the research and statistics chapter of Kaplan's GRE Psychology prep guide. Be sure you understand the design and process of experiments, because it seemed to me that the majority of the test questions were focused on that aspect. The textbook (Experimental Psychology/Myers & Hansen) comes with a glossary of terms for each chapter, which was convenient, as so many of those terms are on the Content Outline for the test....it was like getting a jump start on things. I probably spent twenty hours studying, as it was a required course, plus I needed a good grade to keep up my gradepoint.

CLEP : The College Level Examination Program (Kaplan CLEP)
[ only have a partial IBSN # of 0743262581. Edition 2005 ]

Is this a great study guide to supplement with IC?

Does anyone know what subjects does this go over?

Is it even worth purchasing? A duplicate of Collegeboards??
