Iam taking the dantes civil war test Thursday afternoon. I have spent since last Friday studying my trusted instancert flash cards. Today, I have received the Rudman testing guide booklet and I am finding alot of questions that I have not studied for...now I have a day and a half before the test and I am confused. What do I concentrate on, the Rudman's guide or instantcert? I have always used instantcert as my 99% study resource. This is one of my final three courses and I sure don't want to blow it this late in the game. It is the last of my upper level courses and I don't want to be looking to find something to pass, because I failed this course. Okay, now I really need some rock solid advice to offset what now appears to be my rock solid fears!! Help Please.

I've seen people refer to a book for this DSST exam. What book would that be. Any links? I hear this is a real easy exam. I might do that one instead of American Government.

I haven't sit for this exam but just by browsing the topics it appears there's an essay and a non-essay version. Does Excelsior take the non-essay version?

I have just 12 more exams to go! However, a few of them are gonna have to be ECE's so that I can get all my upper level arts and sciences. This leads me to my questions: has anyone taken World Population yet? and if so, what resource did you find most useful? I don't want to buy (or read) 6 books for one exam so any feedback would be most appreciated.

Along the same lines, if anyone has taken (or is planning) ECE's Foundation of Gerontology and/or Psychology of Adulthood and Aging, please let me know what resources you found for those. I'm told by EC that there's a lot of overlap, which is good.

Thanks!!!!

I am planning to take the Dantes Money & Banking exam and the Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union exam here in about 3 weeks. For Money & Banking, I am reading the textbook Money, Banking and Financial Markets (this was listed in the Dantes suggested books list) and I will use instantcert as well. I do not have any textbook for the Soviet Union exam, but will of course use instantcert. Anyone have any insight on these two exams, what resources did you use and what did you think of the exams...? Any help would be great. Thanks.

Hi all,

I am preparing for the College Mathmatics CLEP exam and hoping for some insight/tips on how to prepare. This is my first CLEP exam and I am new to InstantCert. Any information/help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.

I just mentioned in a reply to another member, that it's a shame we are all buying these various study guides and using them and then pushing onto the next course with its' special study guide. Steve, can we someone develop a trade out system or something like that? Or do we just undertake it on our own through private messages to each other? It just seems like a waste and we all can use a few dollars and then waste it
:confused: on increased , ridiculously priced gas so our oil exec's can get a few million$$$$'s more in bonus money. Anyway..just a random thought.

I'm looking for good study material for the English Comp CLEP. Anyone have any advice?

Also, would it be better to take the Excelsior exam instead? My plan is to get an AS from Charter Oak and either continue at Charter Oak or possibly complete the BS/IT at Excelsior.

[SIZE="3"][COLOR="Navy"]Being an Excelsior College student getting ready to graduate (May, 2006) I came across an interesting thread on the college website that can be found in the Electronic Peer Network under the "student union." The thread is actually entitled "default topic" and currently addresses the quality (or lack thereof) of the Excelsior College Diploma.

From what I've read, many former, recent, and soon to be graduates are upset and disappointed about the look, style, and feel of the diploma and would like to see it changed to a more professional look. I agree.

So, if any fellow Excelsior alumni out there would like to see a change for the better too, log onto the Excelsior website today and contribute to the thread. Hope to see you at commencement in July![/COLOR][/SIZE]

Can anyone tell me if there are any practice test sites available for the Civil War upper level course? Thanks!
