Hello everyone,
I recently signed up and I am studying for the World Population exam. Does anyone have notes or advice on passing the exam. Any help would be much appreciated!!
Thank you

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know how to interpret the ECE practice exams?

I have taken both the ECE Ethics practice exams and I did ok on the first one and pretty bad on the second one (but I am not sure what good or bad is).
I have talked to Excelsiors testing department and am more confused than I was before, so it didn't help.
I will use the exams more as a study guide than anything else (thanks JoAnne) so the question posed is more out of curiosity than anything else.

Thanks,
Mike

Has anyone taken TECEP exams? If so, which one(s), and where you allowed to use a calculator? I will at some point be taking "Introduction to Operations Management," "Business Policy," "Security Analysis and Portfolio Management," and "International Finance." It seems to me that "Security Analysis and Portfolio Management" would require a financial calculator. Thanks.

I'll also post whatever reply I receive from TESC on this.

Hi All-
I'm not sure if I need to call EC-Liberal Arts College or not. How long does it usually take the Liberal Arts Team to post your CLEP, DANTES, FEMA to your Status Report and Evalualtion Summary? I have transcrips that they received as far back as 6/4 with 29 credits that they have not posted to my record. Of course the infamous Information Literacy posted because I'm sure that is automatic. If anyone can give me some sort of time frame as to how long it usually takes them it would be much appreciated. I don't know if I'm out of line wondering if this is a long time to wait.

Hey Everyone,

Did you hear that Excelsior College has obtained Title IV status and that we can now use financial aid there. At least that's the impression I got from a letter in the mail the other day.

If this is true, that is probably some great news for some students.

If anyone has more information on this subject; Please elaborate.

Hi everyone,

There has been a lot of discussion lately about the change being implemented on September 1st with regard to Excelsior's business degree requirements (anyone who enrolls after that date cannot "test out of" the Business Policy requirement, but must take Excelsior's course instead).

With that in mind, I wanted to make sure that anyone planning to enroll before September 1st to avoid that requirement are aware that they need to apply now (if they haven't yet begun at all). You do NOT want to wait until it's closer to September, because the entire application/enrollment process can sometimes take 6-8 weeks. Also, keep in mind that Excelsior may be inundated with applications & enrollments right now because of this upcoming change, and that will slow things down also.

I just wanted to ensure that no one missed the deadline because they didn't realize the time involved.

I had to take the paper-based version because the computer based exams were down at the testing center. I believe that I failed it in a big way. After the first go through I was feeling pretty decent about the questions that I had answered, only to realize that I had answered less than half of them! After counting how many I had answered on the first time through my optimism quickly faded. There was a total of 97 questions. I would say that I felt pretty good about 40 of them, made some decent guesses at about 15, and pretty much had to guess at about 40.

Unless this thing is graded on the mother of all curves there is no way I passed. It would be a miracle! It was an insanely hard exam. It made Civil War seem like reciting the alphabet. I have no idea how it can even be considered LL. Also, I have no idea how some have scored well using only IC. If ever there was a group of cards that could be revised this is it. Can you say Null Hypothesis? There had to be like 20 questions related to it and I think IC has two cards on it. There was also a lot of symbols, etc., that I did not even recognize. I can't blame IC though. IC rules!

I knew that I had to review other sources I just didn't have the time. I had to meet a graduation deadline. Unfortunately, with a fail I will have to accept the BSL instead of a BS in Psychology. BTW, I think that it is silly that this course/exam is needed for a degree in psychology. With modern computer software, etc., who even ever uses statistics any more?

My wife has an MS in School Psychology and has never had to use statistics one time in her profession. Anyway, as you can all tell I'm annoyed and feel like I wasted my time trying to pass this. At least I can say I tried I guess.

I went to the Dantes Website to Purchase a Pratice Exam for Management Information System, but I could not find it after searching for a long time.

Does anyone know where I can find this Pratice Test I am writing the Exam on Friday morning and I would use some pratice

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know if Excelsior would take a Business writing course as a substitute for their WER?

Thanks,
Mike
