  FEMA & FREE College Credit courses
Posted by: Frank - 04-20-2006, 12:41 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (211)

FEMA is offering about 55 classes that you can take online for FREE. Of these approx. 35 are worth college credit. I need to review the process on their website again but once the exam is completed you can have the emailed FEMA certificate sent to a this college that is affiliated with FEMA. Open an account with the college and then have that college forward a transcript to your college. From the courses I saw most should be easily accepted as electives.

  FLexible testing sites in NYC or close
Posted by: ramiller1976us - 04-20-2006, 12:38 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (13)

Hello,
I am living in Europe at the moment and am having a heck of a time being able to take a dantes or clep over here. So decided to fly to NYC and take a bunch of them there. I will probably stay a week or 10 days and stay in a youth hostel..
Anyways i have looked online and emailed alot of the sites but its hard to get a response. Are then any that you know of that test every day or at least more then 2x a month. I am finding that many test 2x a month...

I need a place that test several times a day and hopefully one that offers Clap and dantes.......

If you know of such a place please let me know....


If you live in another Eastern major city and have a flexible test site there let me know... I dont have to go to NYC

  The top college in terms of clep and dantes
Posted by: RBOWMAN - 04-20-2006, 10:54 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (28)

I'd be real interested to hear everyone's opinion on cooperation they have rec'd from their college regarding clep and dantes programs. I have always heard that Thomas Edison, Excelsior, and Ohio U. were the best in cooperating and facilitating degree earning in a timely fashion. Thoughts..pros ,cons.. suggestions on pitfalls to avoid?

  Thomas Edison State College
Posted by: 94W - 04-19-2006, 09:32 PM - Forum: [ARCHIVE] Excelsior, Thomas Edison, and Charter Oak Specific Discussion - Replies (22)

I noticed several people in the posts say that they were students at TESC. I have been with them for almost a year and they are O.K. I am currently working towards my Bachelors in History. I have seven more Cleps & DSSTs to get my degree.
When I decided to stop taking classes and test out I experienced some frustration with the advising department. I had to call and say OK, how will this one fit in. Then I found what I was looking for.

http://www.tesc.edu/catalog/pdf/catalog.pdf

It lists on page 120 and 121 each test and how they award credit. Why the advisor didn't advise me to look there I will never know. I hope this is useful!Cool

  DANTES Ethics in America and HR Management
Posted by: snazzlefrag - 04-19-2006, 04:25 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (5)

Hi All,

I am taking DANTES Ethics in America next week and DANTES Human Resource Management the day after tomorrow (on Friday).

I am using Instantcert and DSST Official Guide book to study from.

Does anybody have any tips, tricks, advice, opinion, or feedback on either of these exams?

Thanks for any input you can all provide.

Steve, I'm curious how you (assuming this is mainly your venture) got the idea of starting InstantCert. Did you take a bunch of CLEP tests yourself? Or just see others looking for materials and fulfill a need?

[COLOR="Purple"]Hello,

I am new to the CLEP world and have scheduled myself to take two CLEP tests on May 6, Principles of Marketing and Intro to Business Law. I am hoping I have left enough time for studying. I guess my first step was instantcert.

If anyone has any suggestions on these two exams I would appreciate the help. Smile

  Principles of Accounting
Posted by: ShoaibS15 - 04-19-2006, 12:35 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (1)

Hi...
I had a question about the Principle of Accounting CLEP. Have any of you taken this CLEP exam, and passed? If so, was the instantcert guide on this subject enough to not just pass, but get a decent score onthe exam? If not, what other sources were of help in your studying? I always hear that this is a difficult exam overall, so any answers will be of much help here. Thanks.

  Intro to World Religion or Modern Middle East?
Posted by: fondue - 04-18-2006, 07:11 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (1)

AFter many weeks Charter Oak finally completed my evalution. To finish a quick A.S. I need ethics, writiten communications and global understanding. The first two were easy to plan, to satify global understanding I can take Intro to World Religion, Intro to Modern Middle East or a few others such as Rise and Fall of Soveit Union.

Anyone have any insight on which exam is the easiest? Keep in mind my goal is to complete a B.S.
