Uexcel: Tips and suggested resources?

[Cheeseburrito]

Hey y'all. I got into the Associate's of Nursing at Excelsior. I have all of my core completed through my BA, but apparently they only allow 25% of core credits through SL/SDC sources. Of the 31 credits, I only got transfer for 12. So I have 19 left that I need to do through CLEP/Uexcel/DSST.

Here are the ones I am considering doing that my advisor has pre-approved:

1. https://www.excelsior.edu/exams/life-spa...psychology
2. https://www.excelsior.edu/exams/anatomy-and-physiology
3. https://www.excelsior.edu/exams/microbiology

CLEP doesn't have any for this group. The only one I think I could do is Math, which I am awaiting approval on from my advisor.

What I'd like to know is - what resources/books/other did you use to prepare for your exams? Were they hard based on your expectations and other tests you've taken in continuing education?

Thank you.

I got this awhile back on sale (DVD set for $65.77)

https://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/...pment.html  

maybe it'll go on sale again or maybe you can get it from a library 

I LOVED that video series 

you could also try 
https://www.amazon.com/Human-Growth-Deve...t+clep+rea

I didn't use that book, I used https://www.amazon.com/EZ-101-Psychology...913&sr=8-2

but I wanted a general book because I was also doing the CLEP intro to psych and the uexcel abnormal psych

Hey blue, thanks!
You took the psych clep then? I have a lot of experience with psych, perhaps I'll see if I can do this for my lifespan credit.
