Getting ready to take the Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union Dantes exam on the 12th. Does anyone know how many questions are on the exam? I plan to use instantcert, a Rudman Red book and I have a few books from the library. I haven't started studying for it yet, I plan on starting tomorrow. Anyone have any suggestions or resources that may come in handy? Thanks!

Best Prep Materials - CLEP College Mathematics |

[SIZE="2"]I am in desperate need of help, advice, and guidance in regards to finding and using the BEST prep materials for CLEP College Mathematics.
Here is the basic issue for me – math to me is like trying to read, decipher, and understand a foreign language. I see a multitude of numbers, letters, and otherwise nonsensical formulas that literally and figuratively do not add up.
Aside from using IC, I have both the “Pass Your Class” and “Comex” books plus purchased the CD/ROM for college mathematics along with a couple of DVD’s on pre-algebra and such. I have even scheduled time with a tutor from the local High School.
For those of you that have faced this exam and passed [B]what is the trick????[/B][/SIZE]

I'm not sure if anyone here would have the foggiest clue about this, but I figure it can't hurt to post this here as well. I posted it on degreeinfo.com already:
I almost have all of the required credits for my BA in Liberal Studies from Thomas Edison State College. Now I am looking to the future and wondering if I've screwed up. Almost all of my credits were earned via CLEP and DSST's. TESC doesn't offer GPA equivalents for such exams.
I've now come to understand that law schools generally accept students based upon GPA and LSAT score. If you consider the 8 community college credits I have counting toward my degree, I'm a 4.0 student. But that's only a small percentage of my credits and they're CC credits.
I've done reasonably well on all of my CLEP and DSST exams so far. The lowest score I'd have if I were in Excelsior for those would be a B. But I have no idea if that'll even matter. The vast majority are pass/fail at Excelsior too.
It seems to me that since I'm not trying to get into Harvard, as long as I do really well on the LSAT, it hopefully will make up for the "questions" of my degree type. Is that true? Do I *need* to do extremely well on the LSAT to have any shot at all at a good school? By good I'm thinking of something in the top 10 to top 30. Or do I not even have a shot there if I ACE the LSAT?
Anyone know about all of this? I'm trying to figure out how to proceed.
Thanks!

Odd numbers of credits |

Ok, I really couldn't think of a good way to title this thread....sorry if it doesn't make sense...Anyway, here's what I am getting at:
I took some classes back in the day that were 4 and 5 credits. For example, I took Spanish I which was only 3 credits but then I took Spanish II which was 5 credits...add in my art class of 3 credits and I have 11 Humanities credits. Also, I took Biology with lab and Chemistry with lab for 4 credits a piece. There's another 8 credits that, when you add a 3 credit math class gives you 11 credits again. When looking over Excelsior's Gen Ed requirements for the History degree it says you need to meet a Humanities requirement, a Social Sciences/History requirement, and a Natural Sciences/Math requirement which are 9 credits for one, and 12 credits for each of the others (however you want to do it). That's where my problem lies...I have 11 credits for 2 of those groups. I want to be as efficient as possible in getting my degree so I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions (are there any 1 credit courses out there??) as to what I should do. I will probably just have to take another 3 credit elective exam for each area but I don't want to if I don't have to.
Does any of this make sense? Hopefully it does...
