Has anyone taken any theology courses on line. I wouldn't mind getting a theology degree as long as it is not too expensive. I see Thomas Edison has one.:o

I am trying to decide between getting a degree in the field I am already in and am successful in or pursuing a whole new career path for the next half of life. There are good reasons to go either way.

If you are, or you know of someone who is, a psych major who is also retraining midstream, I would like imput on why you chose this field, will you get your masters or PHD, what are you planning to do with your degree eventually, and do you have any other advice for someone who would be older than the other graduates when seeking an internship.

Thank you so much in advance!!

Hi All,

Here are a few online resources I found for the DANTES Human/Cultural Geography exam. I haven't taken this exam, so I can't vouch for their usefulness. But it's better than nothing.

I was wondering, most exams say you need to get a 50 to pass, but the score ranges from 20-80, which is an even portportion again to 50. So does this mean you would only have to get half the questions right in order to pass a CLEP?

My college says that if you get an answer wrong, it counts 1/4 point against you. So you are better off not answering the ones you have no clue about. But on the contray, on the CLEP site it says questions are only marked wrong, so it is better to atleast guess on some. Could my college infer its own grading system into the CLEP?

My school also only lets you take a CLEP once, if you fail it, you cannot retake it to get credit. Is this a normal policy?

Thanks for your help!!

[SIZE="3"][COLOR="Green"]Hello All -

My quest for two credits in math allowing me to graduate has taken me from Tampa Bay to Las Vegas. Who needs to win a million dollars on the slots when I can may win 2 math credits instead!!

My quest will last for a week so I may not be as active here on the IC-Forums.

See you all when I get back; hopefully with 2 math credits in the credit bank. Oh who am I kidding - I'll take the $million$ too!! [/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE="3"][COLOR="Navy"]I picked this up from another thread regarding the various nicknames that we use here in the IC Forums so I thought I would elaborate on mine - ShotoJuku.

To begin, I have been studying/teaching Japanese ShotoKan Karatedo since 1971. The founder of Shotokan - Gichin Funakoshi used the pen name of "Shoto" meaning "Pine Waves" and his style was subsequently called Shoto-Kan.

I use a derivative of ShotoKan retaining Shoto but added Juku meaning "special or private school" thus - ShotoJuku.

How about some of the other nicknames out there????[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Hi All,

After taking the Principles of Finance exam yesterday, I have decided to prepare for Principles of Accounting while the financial stuff is still firmly lodged in my head.

I plan to study for a week and see if I am starting to grasp the material. If not, I will drop this plan and go for Civil War, as originally planned.

Anyway, I wanted to provide some online resources that I have found, just in case anybody else is studying for this exam right now.

This first web site is already helping me understand the concepts. It takes you through everything step-by-step assuming that you know absolutely nothing about accounting (like me).

http://www.accountingcoach.com/index.html (includes "drills" at the end of each section)


This second link looks similar to the first one. It is an online book which takes you through all the necessary topics.

Here are the rest of the links I have come across so far...

Hello everyone,
Whoo hooo! Passed Biology today!! One down, Lord only knows how many to go but this one is in the basket!

On this test there were 14 to 15 questions that had dominant/recessive gene word problems. Knowing how to diagram a punnett square is invaluable for several of these questions.

2 to 3 questions on the chemical nature of genes and at least 10 other questions on the chemical composition of organisms.

I studied and studied cell division but there were only a couple of questions on this version of the test that applied. All 3 practice tests that I took had lots of those though so I wouldn't neglect it.

Had at least 15 questions that dealt with ecology and evolution.

And don't laugh but I found that this silly rhyme, " Kangroos play cellos, orangutans fiddle, gorillas sing," helped me to remember the classification order- kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. Answered 2 questions with this key.

That's all I remember right now.

Thanks to all of you for the encouragement of this board. No one here locally really thought it was possible so you all made the difference in even attempting this. hilarious

Almost forgot to mention, I used IC supplemented with online encyclopedia lookups and 3 practice tests from Peterson's and Clep's Official Study Guide.

I'm in Walden University's Business Administration degree program. They accepted CLEPS for micro and macro economics but they say I must attend class for the Statistics requirement. The class can be basically anywhere and can be online but they will not take a CLEP or any other test to fufill the requirement. Does anyone know of any colleges that offer an online statistics course that I can signup for without going through a bunch of hoops?

Thanks in advance!

I just wanted to let you all know that Excelsior has approved the Brigham Young Algebra course. It is 17 lessons and turn in assignments, 17 quizzes, two proctored tests and one proctored exam. While it is a bummer that it has to be proctored...I can usually learn anything...even math, long enough to pass one test at a time. Plus...I figure if I do well on my assignments...all I have to do is well enough to PASS on the tests. The good part is that it only costs $380 (+/-) and they send you all materials (no book to pay for). It is also self paced so , unlike the classes I am taking through Excelsior right now, I do not have to spread it out over 4 months and I could , conceivably, still finish in August! This might be an option for anyone in a similar situation or time crunch. Good luck to all!
