  Good indication of when your ready to take the clep exam
Posted by: Shark101 - 03-29-2006, 11:00 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (8)

If you acheive a 50% or better on mock exams does that mean you are ready to take the clep exam? For example here are my scores on these mock exams:
1. Instantcert: 70-90%
2. College board sample questions- 74%
3. Petersen's- 45%, 52%
Thanks

  As I prepare for the SOVIET UNION
Posted by: RBOWMAN - 03-29-2006, 07:15 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (4)

I think it was Chris who suggested that those of us testing in this area make a timeline of the events of russian and soviet history....well go to the website "infoplease" and punch in a request for timeline: russian history..and there it all is. Makes life and study prep alittle easier.:eek:

  Humanities - Don't sweat it
Posted by: JBL - 03-28-2006, 09:45 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - No Replies

Just took the Humanities CLEP today 3/28/06 - Passed with a 59

All I used was Instantcert as my foundation (as I do with all my preparation) and one other resource, Cracking The Clep, for that extra edge. I felt that the info in Instantcert was enough to pass this test but I was freaking out so much that I wanted to make extra sure. But after I took the mock test on the official study guide by Collegeboard and got more that half right, I knew I was going to pass and didn't study much further.

Listen, just make sure you read everything in Instantcert and you'll be ok. Believe me, I hated the subject but passed and got 6 credits!

  Yesss, just passed Microeconomics!
Posted by: ChristaKB - 03-28-2006, 03:22 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (2)

I am definately not a star in economics. Studied very relaxed for 10 days, used only Instantcert and sample exams from Peterson. Needed 61 for an A (Excelsior). Scored 67! THANKS INSTANTCERT, this place rocks!

  math.. a course less traveled
Posted by: RBOWMAN - 03-28-2006, 08:45 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (18)

Oh wise and kind people's of instantcert. Please give me some sage advise on how best to meet 9 hours of electives in math and science. I dislike both areas. I have not been in college for 36 years. I have not gone beyond geometry in math and physical science in science. these are in fact the last two areas for me to test out of , but I could easily qualify as mildly deficent in these areas. I cannot avoid them any longer and they are a true..true.. true stumbling block on my road to graduation.. I sincerely need and am asking for any "resourceful" ideas you can offer. My college, Thomas Edison will not accept Dantes business math and God knows Iam now thoroughly frustrated, concerned , and Praying alot!! Ideas??????

  DSST Statistics help
Posted by: russinator3 - 03-27-2006, 11:07 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (1)

Hi, I was wondering what people who have taken this test have used for study aids, other than InstantCert of course. I've bought one of the recomended books, but I was wondering if there is a helpful study guide out there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  AS or BS from Excelsior
Posted by: ChristaKB - 03-26-2006, 09:57 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (3)

Hi guys, came to this board again as you have so much experience with Excelsior.

I have about 60 credits by now and looking to transfer there. I would like to get my AS before I get my BS. I checked the Excelsior website and I have one exam left (Dantes statistics) before I meet the AS requirements.

My question is: do I enroll now as an AS student (and pay the AS fee of almost $1000) to get my AS and then one month later (after I get my AS) enroll as a BS student (and pay the BS fee)? Or do I wait until I have about 80 credits to enroll for my BS? If I go for that last option, will they still give me my AS degree?

Thanks for your help, I can't seem to figure this one out:confused: !

Christa

BTW, I love Instantcert, absolutely awesome way to learn!

  Stumped on Math Problem
Posted by: sirjake - 03-25-2006, 06:16 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (3)

Can someone explain this math problem to me?

[Image: clepmath.JPG]

The Official CLEP Study Guide says the answer is A. I thought the answer was C, though. I can't figure out why the answer is A. Can someone explain this to me or point me to a web site that explains this? I'm not a math guy, but this one seemed easy to me.

  Error Report: Statistics Section
Posted by: snazzlefrag - 03-24-2006, 11:13 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (1)

On the DANTES Principles of Statistics review section: Question 15 in the Correlation topic.

The correct answer is "0" but the software rejects "0" as an answer. It only accepts "0."
