Do you really read the whole textbook from A-Z?

I imagine you're doing TECEP exams. I specifically avoided these exams and TESC for this reason. But to answer your question, a lot of people end up skimming these textbooks and reading them quickly out of boredom - it may or may not work though as it really depends on the individual. IMO, it's not very efficient or feasible to get much out of reading a 500 - 1000 page tome and is why I went with UExcel exams instead where you can pass exams by simply doing the instantcert flash cards, do some practice official exams, and read some instantcert subscriber discussions about what will be on the exams.

I discuss this issue in some threads like here: http://www.degreeforum.net/excelsior-tho...etter.html and also here: COSC Degree Plans - Degree Forum Wiki

If you can find exams through UExcel, or DSST that are covered by Instantcert, you will likely be able to study for them in a few hours and pass.

Correct. Environmental Ethics and Marriage and Family to be specific.

Well your advice would have worked wonders If I wasn't locked into the Per Credit tuition plan. I will be taking 8 TECEP's to fulfill that requirement.

The other thing I could do as you said, to simply read over the summary and glossary words but when I checked out the MCQ's on the course outline of TECEP's some of them were really specific. Man, let's see if I could conjure up a pattern how these questions are made and where they take their main knowledge points.
