I am taking this test tomorrow and was wondering if anybody had some advice. I have passed Mgmt. and Org. behaviour so I have some backround knowledge. Thanks in advance!

Is studying IC ONLY enough to pass the two CLEPs?

I heard a rumor that Notre Dame owns Regis University and that degrees earned at Regis University actually say that they are from Notre Dame.

Could it be?:eek:

Not that it applies to me, but I found it interesting and worthy of asking about.

I went to enroll tonight and one of the last steps allows for input of a coupon code.

Anyone know where I can find one? I'll take anything off of the $995 i can get

THANK YOU!!

Hello all, I have purchased IC which is a great learning site and I was wondering if the peterson testing site is free or has a fee also? Can anyone direct me? Thank you, Cindy

I am studying for the aforementioned exam, does anyone know if the videos at Learner.org are worthwhile to watch as a study aid for this test? I am studying the IC flashcards and taking the Petersons and CLEP practice test to prepare and wanted an additional resource. Any info will be greatly appreciated!

Well, I need some last minute advice:

Tomorrow morning, I will be taking the U.S. History I CLEP. I've used a mix of IC, Wikipedia, Peterson's, and Barron's 101 study guide. After reviewing feedback from others that have taken this exam, and after taking the Peterson's practice tests, I have a question:

Are the actual exam questions as complicated as those in Peterson's, in your experience? I am a self-admitted history buff on the period of the American Revolution - the War Between the States, yet with some of these questions its like - "Where did that come from?" Sometimes, two answer choices could actually answer the same question.

I'm not worried about a pass on the exam, but my university requires a 64--that what I'm worried about. I've been only getting 50-55% on Peterson's.

Any imput is greatly appreciated!

Anyone know if it is enough to rely on instant cert for a clep without a textbook, any other sites can help me.
I am taking western civ. 2 on wednesday and only doing instantcert

:eek: First, I wouldn't call it a failure since I learned something from it. So its a temporary setback. I will take it again in 6 months and it won't hurt my timeframe for my bachelors degree completion.

I got a 43 and I needed a 50 to pass. So many names! It's my fault for not studying enough. You need to know a bunch of names and who they were, what they were famous for. I have no background in plays, music, etc. so this was all new to me. You had to know if a person was known for short essays, poetry, etc. I am not stupid as this was the first exam that I have failed so far. So if you are to take this exam, I recommend you go through instacert and write everything down, study for a while, and then go through instacert again and don't sit the test until you have everything down pat.

Also, on the plays and literature, you have to read them and not just know who wrote them. You have to know which passage came out of what play and the meanings behind them and also know the main characters, whether it was a comedy, romance, etc. Also you have to decipher what the poet meant by some words. I think its kind of dumb to try to interpret what the poet was trying to convey in a writing such as old english, but you have to try and give it a logical guess. There were a lot of names I just didn't know! I had to guess on too many questions.

Of course, I know NONE of these people outside of researching, since most of them were 18th century and beyond. I knew mozart, bach, shakespeare, but wasn't familiar with the intricities of their work. Not one was even alive when I was born in 81'. So you only know them by studying them. I looked a bunch of people up on wilkapedia to see their picture and study some of there works. It helps rather than just looking at a name on a piece of paper. 6 Credits has aluded me, but hopefully I can retake in 6 months and get that 50 I hope to get.

I received my unofficial credit eval today from EC. Based on that, I decided to enroll now, rather than wait any longer. So, I'd be interested in hearing from people where I can start. Here's just a couple highlights from my unofficial eval:

Business Component
You need:
at least 7.00 more credits in business subjects to include:
- Production/Operations Management
- Business Policy
- at least 6.00 credits of advanced level business electives

I. General Education Component
You need 24.00 credits in general education to include:
- at least 9.00 credits in arts & sciences
- College Algebra, at the level of precalculus (or higher)
- Statistics
- 15.00 credits are allowed in free electives

Organizational Behavior Requirement You have not yet satisfied the organizational behavior requirement. Credit from your course or examination in organizational behavior will be applied to the social sciences (arts and sciences) or business electives, depending on title, number, level, and content.

Information Literacy Requirement
There are several ways to satisfy the Information Literacy requirement. As the universe of information grows and technology continues to transform learning, information literacy (accessing academic information electronically, selecting credible resources, etc.) becomes increasingly important. You may demonstrate competency in this area by successfully completing the Excelsior College course "Information Literacy" (INL 102) or an approved course from the regionally accredited college of your choice. You must earn a minimum of one semester hour in Information Literacy with a grade of C or higher in order to complete the requirement. Please visit http://www.excelsior.edu and click on the Excelsior College courses link for information pertaining to INL 102.

I was in the middle of studying for the Money & Banking exam. My question is...for those that are EC students, or have been in the past...will I still need this exam, or is there an easier way to get the remaining 1 business credit I'll need?? Any feedback is welcome.
