Although I can't confirm that I don't see why not. They're provided by a regionally accredited college and are designed for the purpose of earning college credit (unlike non-credit courses/exams).

Big Grin I signed up for the Political Science.

Can anyone tell me if the difficulty of the actual exam is at all close to the sample questions? I got 2 wrong and am wondering how much more studying I'll need to do, in your opinions, based on actual exams taken?

I gauged my level of studying by the fact sheet as well and I will warn you, do not take this exam for granted. There were a lot of "gotcha" questions on my version of the test. I've rescheduled to take the other version.

My advice?
With a little effort and study you can pass this exam but make sure you review accordingly.

"You are your own worst enemy. You waste precious time dreaming of the future instead of engaging in the present. Since nothing seems urgent to you, you are only half involved in what you do. The only way to change is through action and outside pressure. Put yourself in situations where you have too much at stake to waste time or resources - if you cannot afford to lose, you won’t.
