I'm glad I have you guys to fret at the day before a test.

I am taking the DSST Civil War and Reconstruction tomorrow. I really dislike not having a practice test to gauge how well I'm doing. *sigh* I went all the way through a 660-page book that was an overview of the war and have done most of the IC sections about 4 times, only missing about 5 questions on each. I feel really solid on the causes of the war and the political side 'cause I've studied that for years, but I'm pretty fuzzy on the actual battles, which I always found sorta boring.

I'll probably do fine but I'm starting to nibble my nails and get anxious. Anyone want to pat me on the head and tell me to calm down? LOL!

Excelsior needs my Statistics score by July 23rd to apply my annual student services fee towards my graduation. This would save me $495! The problem is that the 23rd is 14 days away. My last Dantes exam made it to Excelsior in 3 days, however it was computer based. I was just informed that the computer based exams are down at my testing center and that I will have to take the paper based version. This is a huge blessing as far as passing the test because of no time restrictions, however I get no immediate score and it may not arrive to Excelsior on time.

I believe that the paper based score reporting are a lot slower. Is that true? I was told that for an additional $20 I can request rushed delivery. The testing center claims that this option guarantees the score to arrive within 15 days. Has anybody heard of this? I could really use a few more days of preparation, but I have no choice. I have to take it tomorrow. Hopefully, without the time restrictions, I can grind my way through for a passing score. I can see this being an agonizing 4 hour marathon!

I am scheduled to take micro tomorrow. I am very nervous. I have been studying on instant cert and took a test on 4tests for free along with the test from the College board review book. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all you wild and crazy exam takers!! I would like to hear your thoughts and opinions about a certain topic.

I am curious about Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) and I would be interested to hear feedback from others who have taken advantage of it. It doesn't seem to be a very popular alternative when compared to CLEP and DSST exams. Is there a reason why?

If you have earned PLA credits, I would be very interested in hearing about your experience. Please explain the process from a personal perspective and explain the Pro's and Con's.

Here are a couple of questions I have about the program:
Are the requirements clear-cut and predictable?
Do we have to take a shot-in-the-dark and hope the grader likes it?

The whole process seems confusing to me at this point. Nonetheless, I am interested because it appears to be a quick method of gaining credits with minimal studying, if any.

Let's discuss this.

Finally received my TESC/FEMA transcription after 6 weeks. :mad:

IS279 - EDM130 (I contacted TESC this morning to have credit issued)


Credit definitely not awarded (no TESC course match):
IS005.A
IS302
IS331

27 credits awarded, hopefully 28 once TESC corrects their error.

Who is running for president? I know all the popular people that are (hillary clinton, barak obama, john macain, rudy guilliani). But who else is? isnt there something like 16 canadates. :confused:

okay what members here have a goal plan on graduating with these honors?


also , what other schools offer these honors besides excelsior college?

I was wondering if anyone has thoughts on receiving a degree with an Accounting empahsis or an HR emphasis. What do you think is better? In my area, DC area, HR is very competitive. I am sure accounting is as well, but it seems accounting is a skill that is always in demand.

I forgot to post a thread--World Population was posted up a few days ago. Good luck everybody!

I need 6 english credits by september in order to enter my graduate program.
I am looking into taking the english clep but I wanted to have a backup plan in case I don't pass.

Where can I take online english courses that I could complete by september?
