Upper level Credit - egarcia4 - 07-12-2009

I looked at the DSST website and had HTYH as an upper level class but on instantcert is doesn't. Which is the Correct one?? Can any help? I need upper level electives

It probably depends more on the school than IC or DANTES. But I think what DANTES says should reflect what some (most?) schools would offer.

This might help you understand the confusion.

It depends on what version was taken and when it was taken.

Also the colleges get to pick if they accept it as upper or lower.

I believe Excelsior is only granting lower level credit for it (HTYH) and the other 3 refreshed exams that DSST bumped up to upper level credits in their press release.

Contact the specific college you're looking at. One college might accept it as upper level and another college might accept it as general elective. It varies by college.

BTW my cool horse is gone now.

The reason it is lised diffrently is, because the HTYH, along with a few others were just upgraded or rather recommended to be upper level exams by ace.

Were they only upgraded to UD or was new material added? I have the HTYH test this Friday and was curious.

Thanks.
