Strategy for finishing BA in Psych - ironheadjack - 10-10-2013
I need 27 more credits to finish my degree including the capstone. I need to take 8 more tests to finish the degree requirements. I'm going to list the tests that I have planned and would appreciate any advice. I like to take two tests per day, so I will try to group them as how I will likely take them.
+DSST Fundamentals of Counseling
+DSST Substance Abuse
-CLEP Educational Psychology
-CLEP Human Growth and Development//or//DSST Lifespan Development
#ECE Abnormal Psychology
#ECE Social Psychology
*ECE Research Methods in Psychology
[Statistics- not sure how I'm going to tackle this one yet, so it's saved for last.]
I tried to organize them from "easiest to hardest". Does anyone see any negatives in my plan? Things that should be changed? Tests that should be switched? Etc....

I wouldn't attempt research methods before statistics.

You may want to consider using ALEKS for Statistics, but be quick because it expires on 10/31.

That was my plan all along, but I don't want to risk ACE changing their mind again on the expiration date. Or risk not finishing.

I think HG&D was the easiest of all of those, followed by Fundamentals of Counseling. Those two had quite a bit in common as well. I've been working on Substance Abuse (off and on) for several months. I know *nothing* about drugs or alcohol, so it's really difficult for me. I never took the others, but I heard Edu Psych was not terribly difficult- and would probably go well with HG&D and Counseling.
