I am very nervous about taking the Analyzing Literature and Compostion exam as I do well with reading compostion but weary on my essay skills and you now need to write two essays for this exam. I wish I had the confidence to obtain this. Yes, In order to get back to work I need a college transcript with 6 college level classes. I can not tell you how desperate I am. Here is more back ground history, I lost my husband to cancer last year, knowing I needed the credits I took 3 math classes, online, from Omega Math. I thought I was covered. The state only accepted 3 of the credits because the two other classes were apparently not college level. That said I will take any and all advice because I truly feel like I am in a state of desperation. You have all been so kind and I greatly appreciate it. What is Fema? And Will it give me a college credit transcript and back to work by Monday I would kiss the ground I walk on, literally. Please help.
I didn't think A&I Literature required an essay? Can someone senior comment on this? I think the A&I would be a good bet. It's six credits and BOOM you are done! If you are afraid you won't pass, take a different class if you should fail. That's my thought, but I think the FEMA classes might not be a bad option either since people keep saying how easy they are and I think they are free? When you are out of a job and have 4 kids that's always a consideration....short on time and always watching the budget. You have a lot of options now, go with your gut and just commit to a plan of action. GOOD LUCK
