ive been studying for 2 weeks here on instantcert. i can do all of the modules and get a really good grade on them(like less then 10 wrong). Yesterday i did the clep sample test for it, and i got less than half right. So why do i get so many wrong on a practice test yet do so well here on instantcert.:confused:

Can someone tell me which pratice questions on IC are for life span or where could I find some study quetions for this subject.

Thanks MeMe

I am currently RN with an Associaties degree. I am trying to get my BSN as quickly as possible as I am extremely unhappy in hospital nursing and would like to pursue a career in case management with requires a Bachelors in Nursing.
I am starting to talk Clep to fufill lower level course work atJacksonville University the problem is they will allow for me to take 4 courses through exams.
I would like to switch to Excelsior or Thomas Edison as they allow more credit through exam. I am desperate to get out of floor nursing. Does anyone have any opinions on which school is better.
As a NJ Resident Thomas Edison will be cheaper for me and the campus is a 30 min drive from my house so if i have problem i have the option to go there in person and complain, but that i will have to take actual courses for all of the upper level nursing courses. Where as Excelsior will let you do the whole program by examination.

While money is something I need to consider but a couple thousand is worth it if it means i can get my degree faster.

Thank you taking the time to read my long post I apreaciate your input.

Ok, so I need ECE Social Psych, Information Literacy and Dantes Statistics to have a BS in Psych from Excelsior. I'm saving the Stats for last because like most of us it freaks me out.:o The funny thing is that I keep hearing how "nasty" it is, however every score that I have seen has been 60+. For an exam that is supposed to be so "nasty" why is nobody even coming close to failing it? Could you all please simply list your:

A) Scores
B) Matreials Used
C) Calculators Used
D) Amount of time to prepare

Reading your experiences may help relieve my anxiety

I have been away for a while. I did not know that IC now has Social Psych as well! All that I have left is USSR, Stats and INL for a BS in Psych. Should I take Social Psych instead of Rise and Fall of the USSR if I have the choice? I don't care that it costs $100 more. I just know that it took me 3 weeks to study for Civil War and I don't really want to do that again. Plus, I have already taken all of the other UL Psych exams using IC alone. I only had to study each one for a few days:

Abnormal A
Adulthood A
Gerontology B
Research Methods A

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Just as the title reads when is the last chance to take accounting? I remember reading June or July. Does anyone know. I need to get it scheduled.

Hello All! I am about to take History 1 test next week and had a quick question. I have heard that you should concentrate on the time periods of teh 1700s through 1877...Does that mean that I can skip studying the last section of the Instacert practice questions titled Philosophy and Politics of the Time Period?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a couple questions for anyone who has taken this test and would like to fill me in

Do they mix all the religions together and ask questions, or are they sorted together in groups?

How many questions, and what is it to pass?

And also, I read that if you fail you cant retake for 180 days, is this correct, and if so, how hard was it to pass?

Thanks so much for any info to help me

Okay so I decide that while I'm on reserve duty I would take 3 tests, which are offered on Tuesday's and Thursday's at the base education center. After getting to the base, I study for two nights and take Human Resource Management-ECE. While at the ed center I ask if I could take two tests on Thursday. I get the ok for two tests and decide on taking World Pop (not too difficult with Weeks Book and world fact book) and Mgmt Info Systems (more difficult than I expected, quite a bit of outdated data). After leaving the testing center I walk past a clep shelf and pick up a brochure that say's clep testing is done Monday and Tuesday.... hmmm. So yesterday I took Clep-Intro to Sociology (67) and today I took Organizational Behavior-ECE (harder than I expected), Foundations of Gerontology-ECE (easier than expected) and followed those up with Intro to Psych (59). My brain is friend to the max but I think I should come out with 15 hours. So the final tally is....

ECE HRM-I believe I passed, it will be close...
ECE-WP -Fairly easy imho, especially with summarizing "Population" by Weeks.
DSST-MIS-Harder than I thought, I don't have good feelings about it....
Clep-Intro to Soc-67 Yay!
ECE-Organizational Behavior - Much harder than I expected, very borderline...
ECE-Foundations of Gerontology-Much easier than expected-confident
Clep-Intro to Psych-59 Yay!

Like I said, my brain is mush. I am cracking open a couple of cold ones tonight and watching some basketball.

Ok, so I finally applied to Excelsior and I just started the 1 credit Information Literacy class yesterday. Once I am done with that I will have all of the classes I need for my AA from Excelsior. I know it is more money to get the AA then the BA but I really wanted to get the AA to keep me motivated...

I need to decide on a major now. I love History so that is my first choice but I honestly don't know what a BA in History will do for me. Can anyone offer me some input? I just want to make sure I make a reasonable decision and that I can make use of my degree. Thanks in advance for your input!
