What tests next? - LuBee - 03-27-2007
I have 18 more credits to go and only 3 are needed for science. The rest are electives. I thought that I would take Social Sciences, Biology, and Natural sciences. That way it will be less money and only three more tests assuming that I pass them all. I've just passed US History 2 and now I am studying US History 1 in preparation for Social Sciences. I don't know though about my plan. Everything seems like a chore to cram in my brain at this point.
What are some of your opinions on the easiest tests to take for me at this point? The tests that I've already taken are listed in my signature.

Upper Level?

No, just fill in courses. I already have all my upper level from traditional in my major which is art.

Actually, I've started wondering about taking DSST Intro to Computing and CLEP Information Systems & Computer Applications. I am comfortable with computers, but certainly not a computer whiz. Who thinks that this is a good alternative to Bio or Nat Science?

If you've boiled down your options to two computer exams vs. a 6-credit science exam, I would definitely say to go for the computer exams. If you study the Computer Info Systems and the Management Info Systems materials, you'll be able to take three tests: Computer Info Systems CLEP, Intro to Computing DSST, and Management Info Systems Dantes.

Thanks for the info, Steve. I found out that unlike Excelsior, TESC counts Intro to Computing and Info Systems as duplicates. That affects my proposed direction to get six credits out of the way that way. I still have to take a Science that will satisfy my state's Praxis requirement - that could be Bio or Drug abuse. So I may as well take one that gives me 6 credits like Bio.
