Hi Guys I just passed my into to sociology CLEP on 7/12/07, it was really hard, studied IC and REA clep book. Alot of scenario's questions. But Passed thank God. Now onto General Psychology, besides instantcert and REA CLEP book any other good hints, cause sociology was really hard for me to grasp and I am afraid of psychology being the same way. Any words of encouragement ?? Thank you all, Cindy

In the TESC 2007-2008 catalog http://www.tesc.edu/catalog/pdf/catalog.pdf
it seems to have CLEP Financial Accounting listed as 6 hours. Is this a mistake? Is it really speaking of the old test, "Principles of Accounting" which included the managerial.

Also, has anyone taken the new one yet? I was suppose to take the old one two days after I was evacuated from my home due to flooding:eek: . I had to cancel so I will be taking the new one soon. It would be great if it still counted for the 6 hours.

Thanks for any help,
Mark

The only thing that ever gave me a smidgen (an upstate NY word--it means "very tiny") of concern about Excelsior College was their lack of a Title IV financial aid program. As far as I could tell, most regionally accredited schools qualified under Title IV for federal financial aid. Why didn't Excelsior? The other two (Thomas Edison and Charter Oak) were Title IV schools. It's not like Excelsior (USNY Regents, Regents, etc.) hasn't been around just as long--since the days of orange kitchen counters!

It also bothered me a little that I could not find ANY information explaining the absence of a Title IV program ANYWHERE. The only thing I could find was that they had applied. Well, via snail mail, I received the attached letter in which President Ebersole announces that Excelsior has been notified that they have been approved to offer Title IV financial aid. I think that's a big deal in terms of bolstering credibility for their school. Many on this board attend Excelsior and there's a constant stream of newbies gathering information to choose a school. Hopefully, the attached letter which contains this news and more will be helpful to you all.

All,
My question:
Is it possible to be enrolled say at Excelsior for a bachelors in business, AND enroll at another school e.g. TESC to receive an associates in business at the same time?

Background:
I'm currently enrolled in Excelsior in their Associates Business program.
I need to get any degree within 6 months time and therefore I've enrolled in the AsB and I only need their WER and Statistics to achieve their requirements. I want to immediately go on and enroll in their bachelors program.

However I won't complete the degree in time to be conferred the AsB and then re-enroll for the Sept 1st deadline for the new BsB requirements.

They've offered to switch me to the bachelor's program (still checking if any cost for that).
I've requested the syllabus for the business capstone course, and it looks like alot of effort compared to the TECEP exam.

I'm considering the switch, but then would need to enroll in another school to get a general associates degree conferred very shortly.

Anyone done this? Any reason this would be an issue? Thoughts? :confused:

Any ideaa? I have my Eng 101 already, but the school I am looking at for my Bachelors in Nursing requires the second class also Eng 102. Now I just started meaning this week taking the online version of this class at my local community college..and my oh my I think I am in over my head. The writing required for this class is amazing - and this is not my strongest asset. Does anyone know of a better way to get these credits without out preparring myself for a padded room? I'd gladly drop/withdraw from this class if I can find a better solution. Thank you Dawn

This is really starting to bug me. I have read and read most of the post regarding this subject and I still don't feel good about my choice of study guide for World Religions ( Rudman's DSST) It didn't get very good reviews so its very hard to have confidence in it.

Has anyone passed DANTES World Religions with IC only? I really don't like counting on just one source, but I just can't seem to find anything else I trust.

Being my first DANTES exam I guess I'm being somewhat over cautious, but this is what has helped me pass all ten of my CLEP exams I have taken, so I like to stick to a tried and true method.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Regards, Jay

I have a question for those who have taken stats as a course or the DSST. I anticipate taking a stats 500 course late next year for a totally different degree, but I thought it might be a good idea to use the DSST stats as an elective for my BA (to get my feet wet, especially since I have never taken any math higher than algebra). Now I am having second thoughts.... and a bit fearful. Does anyone think this would be better to enroll in a stats class vs. a test? I will, at some point, need to do it again.
And part two, would it be insane to try a stats 500 without first trying a stats 200? Thanks!!

I plan on taking the Dantes test for Fundamentals of Counseling in about a week. I have been studying the material on InstaCert and have also used other sources for backup for at least a week and a half. This is my last test to take in order to graduate next month and I am extremely nervous. Is there any other tips anyone might have to study for this test? I just want to make sure that I will pass without a doubt.


I have taken Drug and Alcohol Abuse and Principals of Supervision and passed both. I used mainly Instacert to study for Drug and Alchohol Abuse and felt like I had to guess at a lot of the material.

If anyone can help, just let me know.

Very, very, very nervous about the last test! :confused:

Hi Everyone,

I've been reading the forums for the last few months and as a result of all the great advice from everyone I've been able to amass 62 credits towards my degree since the beginning of May. Now that I'm halfway there I want to start focusing on some of the required technology courses and wanted to see if anyone had any workarounds to taking the following courses.

Business Programming Course

Database Management

Data Communications or Telecommunications or Networking

Systems Analysis and Design

I've heard of the ICCP test but I hear that they are difficult to prepare for because of a lack of material concerning those exams. Is there anyway to speed up the process for these courses or am I going to have to take them all online? Thanks in advance for your help.
