Hi everyone,
I took the Social Sciences exam yesterday and found it really tough. I barely passed with a score of 50. I was'nt very well prepared and guessed on more than half the questions.What saved me i think were the questions on Sociology and Psychology.
I am planning to take the US History 1 and 2 exams next as there is a lot of overlap from the Social Sciences exam.
I need to know if the Instantcert guide is good for these 2. I do have Passyourclass guides for both but nothing apart from that.
Do you think Instantcert and Passyourclass would be sufficient or do you think i should get a REA or something else? How long do you think it should take for each of these subjects condidering the fact that taking the Social Sciences exam would'nt help much as i was not well prepared for it.
Also does US history cover the Government part also? meaning political science questions eg how many terms are allowed for the senator etc?
Your advice will be very helpful,
Thanks in advance,
Adoncia

Is there a site for test questions regarding Drug and alcohol abuse..dsst test? Thanks!

Hi, I'm taking the Natural Sciences CLEP next Friday and was wondering if anyone can let me know what to expect/what to study? Science is my weakest subject so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Does anyone out there know if Thomas Edison assigns a grade to Dantes test scores? Thanks in advance.

Can someone tell me what DSST exams are exactly? Are they for military persons only?

I was just wondering if there are any places to get actual multiple choice questions for free (like the 50 that you get with one of the college board electronic study guides). I just want to supplement what is on here with some multiple choice questions.

I just started studying for my first clep (Information Systems and Computer Applications) and I can't wait to take that test!!!!! This site is great!!!

Like a lot of you I am trying to "excelerate" my graduation with a BA for work reasons.

Two weeks ago I did three Cleps:

Intro to Sociology (3 creds.)

Analyzing Literature (6 creds.)

Information Systems (3 creds.)

Sociology was pretty easy as far as it goes, I spent maybe 5 hours studying this one from instacert, I only used instacert and amazingly did pretty well on this 74 as my score, as well I feel I actually learnt a lot about sociology from the flashcards.

Analyzing Lit was pretty easy, if you can read, you can pass this one.

Info. Systems, I work in IT so this one, aside from the programming questions, was a gimme.

Now I am taking humanities, and intro to world religions next week.

I will be taking my first CLEP tomorrow morning...Prin of Mngmt..paper based. I believe I am on track for a pass but I just wanted to get a confidence booster with a question answered from someone who has taken that particular clep. I have reviewed the flash cards from instacert once (with intentions to continue a couple more times) and have concentrated most of the time with the petersons.com testprep. My questions... are the questions similar to the 3 example test, are they on target for the paper based exam? Do I need to review instacert with just as much attention and detail that I did with peterson testprep?

Hey y'all...
I am currently studing for the DSST, Principles of Finance. So far, I have not been able to find any sample tests on this exam.

If anyone here has taken this exam, please let me know what study materials you used, and if a sample test is available.

Thanks

Well, I am attempting at getting my Associate's degree AT LEAST through all credit-by-examination. Now I think I may have stumbled upon a possible problem, and I was wondering if some people here would like to help with this "investigation".
I took the Intro Psych. CLEP and did pretty well. I was expecting an A based on the other scores i've seen people score. I go ahead and check on Excelsior's site, and it turns out that MAJORITY of CLEP exams are now just "cut scores" of 50 for a PASS. Now, if i am right here, that means that if I am going this route, (and i have a feeling a lot of us here are doing the same at least for a big portion of the degree,) my GPA is not really being accumulated in this fashion. Another one of my concerns is if this means I CANNOT finish my degree in this manner? I called Excelsior on Monday, only to be sent to Admissions because i am not enrolled yet, and when I asked for an answer to this whole query, the person said they do not deal with this type of question, and as I asked if I can transferred to a department where this question can be answered, the person said "no problem," and suddenly hung up the phone. Now, at this point I was too frustrated to make the call back and going from department to department, so now I ask everyone here... Do any of you have an answer to this? If not, can someone help in this, if they are already enrolled into the college, call and ask the counselor or advisor? Not only I, but this whole forum will be appreciative for this.

I just wanted to bring this useful piece of information to the attention of this forum, as I was disappointed to find out that the Intro Psych exam was not being assigned a letter grade any longer, but just a PASS. Kind of makes my studying feel worthless. Any insight, or comments will be much appreciated. Take care guys. Peace.
