I am very new to InstaCert and to this board, so I hope this doesn't put everybody off. The following was forwarded to me this morning--I'm sure everyone who reads this gets forwarded stuff every day. Normally I just delete it, but I think this one should be viewed by as many people as possible.

Thanks for reading it, and I promise never to forward anything again

In April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest
of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.

On May 15th 2007, all internet users are to not go to a gas station in
protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most
places.

There are 73,000,000+ American members currently on the internet
network, and the average car takes about 30 to 50 dollars to fill up.

If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take
$2,292,000,000.00 (that's almost 3 BILLION) out of the oil companies
pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on
May 15th

15th and lets try to put a dent in the Middle Eastern oil industry for
at least one day.

If you agree (which I cant see why you wouldn't) resend this to all
your contact list. With it saying, ''Don't pump gas on May 15th"
You may pass it, just don't buy it ! ! !

I took the ridiculously doable Math class through Excelsior. It was a blast, even though it lasted 15 weeks too long.

Well, my problem is that I need those 3 credits to post so I can send a transcript to another school to graduate!

It has been 3 weeks since I finished the class and I am still waiting! I check the website daily, and it still shows me enrolled, even though the class ended 3 weeks ago. Info Literacy posted like the next day, this is killing me...

I'm not an Excelsior student but I need to knock out a stats test for my degree programs. Anybody have an opinion about which of these might be easier? ECE Statistics or DSST Statistics?

Hello everyone, My name is Cindy and this site is all new to me. Can anyone direct me how to use it to my benefit. I am presently studying intro. to sociology. I am into instantcert.com and doing the 157 questions on there. Will go and buy a Rea clep book soon as I get to a book store. Trying to familiarize myself to the people and what they did with my own flash cards. How do you know when you had enough and are ready to test? Then this being my first test, how do I sign up and get registered and ready to take. How long should I give myself to study and take a test? This is so new to me I am giving myself a headache worrying about all this and trying to study at the same time. Thank you to all who can give me some advice. Thanks, Cindy

Hey everyone -

I'm back! I took a break because I got burned out. But I have a new wonderful boyfriend and he says I should finish. So I passed Buis Law, Prin of Sociology and just two days ago I got a 60 (passing is 46) on Prin of Supervision (DSST).

Now I am working on my final exam - Money and Banking, which was the only DSST test I failed. I failed by three points last August after studying for a week - I didn't realize it would be on a much harder level than the other DSST exams I took. Now I'm writing EVERYTHING down from instacert and am going to know it cold.

My question for this post is, the last time I took Money and Banking, the DSST exams WERE NOT computerized. So I am assuming this will be a *new* test with *new* questions, correct? (I know the computerized Buis math was different form the written exam). Also, has anyone taken the computerized Money and Banking? How was it?

Many thanks, guys.

The questions you have (mine included), for the most part, have been asked a hundred times before. Do everyone a favor, including yourself, and use the search function. It will instantly give you the answer you seek and keep the rest of us from reading the same questions over and over and over and over...ect

I hear the Humanities CLEP is like studying for the SAT's - a lot of it is information you should just know. Is this true? I took the practice test in the CLEP site and didn't do too bad.

Can anyone give me any suggestions for the Humanities CLEP? I'm taking it next Tuesday.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,
I'm just getting started and had a question. I'm in Iraq right now and can only take a limited number of tests. My education center only offers English Comp w/o Essay, rather than the more common English Comp with Essay. Does anyone know if Thomas Edison will accept this for their english requirements? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

Has anyone used the Anneberg series "Growing Old in a New Age" to prepare for Foundations of Gerontology and Psychology of Adulthood and Aging. I want to know if it's worth it before I invest 13 hours of watching it .

Does anyone know how Clep and DSST affect ones status for financial aide grants like the Pell?
