  Just Passed Foundations of Education
Posted by: jdavenport - 06-13-2007, 11:13 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (3)

I know there hasn't been a lot of threads for this test. I just took it today, and I got a 50 out of 94. You need a 46 to pass. I used IC, Wikipedia, and general web searches. I found that the test asked a lot of questions about what the primary activities for the State Board of Education and the local boards and stuff like that. Also there were questions about how teachers were paid and what teachers goals in teaching were in the 70's -90's. I didn't think IC really talked about stuff like that so you will want to research that with other sources. I passed, but I was sweating it and really felt it coul've gone either way. Good luck.

  Help with Business Law 1 (CLEP)
Posted by: monkeygirl - 06-13-2007, 08:44 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (5)

Hey guys!

I'm going to be taking the Business Law 1 CLEP and I was looking for some input as to what I should expect to find on the test. I've been studying a little from the IC flashcards but it seems like so much material to absorb Sad ....

Is there any guide out there that can break down things for me? Such as... the most important points to know for the test? I'm not necessarily concerned with getting a high grade, just a passing one! Any input will be appreciated!

I found this online somewhere.... would this be a good guide to follow? Would you say that provided that i study the terms/knows the material on this guide I should pass?

^ it's a pdf page.. couldn't think of another way to post it.

I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks


(I tried to look thru the board before posting and couldn't really find any other posts about this but if i'm wrong feel free to delete it or link me to the right place. thanks)

  Help....US Hist or SS and Hist.?
Posted by: et4tango - 06-13-2007, 07:00 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (1)

I am having a bad case of the jitters.......:confused:
I have been preparing for the SS and Hist exam. After going through the feedback on the forum I am having second thoughts.
Would it make more sense to take US Hist 1 and 2 first to get my feet wet.
I score high on the Clep Guide practice tests, the Peterson's test is higher in difficulty.
I was shooting for tomorrow and I need to know if this order makes more sense:
Am Hist 1
Am Hist 2
Am Gvmt
SS and History

Any feedback would be appreciated, I am having one of those "doubting days"
Thanks.

36 Clep credits
15 Fema to date.

  PSYCH GRE Credits for EC?
Posted by: WSC - 06-13-2007, 05:24 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (4)

It'll be 3 weeks since I enrolled at EC. I saw a couple of threads that indicated they received their's within 2-3 weeks. I called EC and told them I know some people that received their's within 2-3 weeks but they said those were for students that were already enrolled but just posting new transcripts.

In any event, I know this is a long intro, but I'm wondering how many credits i will get for a 560 GRE Psych subject score? I saw someone post that they received 9 hours for a 590. I'm hoping I receive 6 hours. It was a more difficult test than I anticipated.

I know EC has the final word and I hope I get my evaluation soon, but they were adamant it'll be 6-8 weeks. That's another 3-5 weeks of waiting. I was hoping someone would know how many hours I'll get? If I receive 6 hours and I pass Humanities tomorrow I should have 121 hours and graduate. If I receive 3 hours then I'll have 118 (assuming I pass Humanities) and I'll need another clep.

Thanks!

  2 GPA Boosters Remaining - Please Help Me Decide
Posted by: steelers - 06-13-2007, 11:59 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (4)

I need 2 more exams (preferably graded or 6 credit pass/fail ones for the most GPA impact) before graduating. I have a very limited time to study and complete these. I just completed Supervision yesterday and it fit the criteria perfectly. I'm basically looking for two easy A grades through Excelsior. This is my available list of exams to choose from:

1) Analyzing & Interpreting Lit. - No IC cards/non-graded/6 credits. I know nothing about literatrure and poetry but I have good reading comprehension. Prefer reading about sports, health, human performance, etc.
2)Env.&Hum.Race/Save Planet
3)Ethics in America
4)Foundations of Education
5)Intro to Business - I have taken OB, HRM, Management and Supervision
6)Intro to World Religions
7)Intro to Computing - No IC cards for this particular one. I Scored a 63 on MIS 1.5 years ago, however I still consider myself pretty computer illiterate)
8)FEMA Credits - Just discovered this option. Does the whole TESC credit bank (one flat fee) and then transfer to Excelsior thing work or do you need to fork out $60 per credit through Fredricks? Couldn't find definitive answer.

  GPA Boosters - Wild Experiences - Easiest Exam of Them All
Posted by: steelers - 06-12-2007, 11:34 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (10)

I'm taking 3 exams in an effort to boost my GPA before I graduate. I started with Principles of Supervision. First off, let me start by saying that I have had some really weird experiences taking exams.

I was in the middle of Adulthood and Aging several weeks ago at Pearson when I heard the sound of liquid hitting a solid surface. Imagine running with a full glass of water and hearing the water hit the ground. That is what it sounded like. I know that drinks are not allowed so I was puzzled for a moment. 5 seconds later I hear the proctor rushing in to inform the dude next to me to just get up and leave. The guy vomited all over his keyboard:eek:

The next thing I hear is the sound of spray bottles as the proctor tried to clean up the mess. This is all going on right next to me. I don't think that I answered a single question for 20 minutes. I seriously read the same question about 30 times and it would not register because I was so distracted. I ended up with an A anyway and luckily I can't smell very well!:p

This leads me to today's circus. I'm about 55 questions in to my 86 question Principles of Supervision exam when my computer freezes up with 59 minutes to go. I inform the proctor and he comes out to reboot it. Two questions later it happens again. He then moves me to a new computer. Two questions later it happens again. For the next 50 minutes he tries to get in touch with Dantes technical support, while rebooting my computer after every answered question. Did I mention that the time continued to tick as the computer jammed up? Thinking that I was going to fail this "GPA Booster" had me heated. Time expired with at least 10-15 questions unanswered.

I proceeded to fill out the comments at the end of the exam to let them know what happened and ask what they were going to do about it. Meanwhile the proctor looks nervous like I'm about to throw the monitor against the wall. Come to find out I scored a 62 anyway! All I have to say is that I must have got just about every question that I answered correct, making this by far the easiest exam of them all. In fact, I would say that this exam could be easier than the INL open book finalhilarious

Serioulsy, if you need an easy exam to boost the GPA look no further then this gimmeCool
