Need help planning my Excelsior courses/exams

[peace123]

Hi all ,



Between the time I received my unofficial review in April and the time I enrolled( last week )with Excelsior I completed two new classes one a 4 credit Lower level applied profession and the other a 4 credit Upper level Applied professional both in accounting subjects.

I am still awaiting my official review and I figure that should be completed before the end of August. In the mean time I have enrolled in their Information Literacy class and will complete it this summer. This will count as an applied professional Lower level. After that I would like to enroll in their Prior Learning class as I am considering trying for some credits via the portfolio route. The only drawback is that class is counted a lower level Applied Professional and I do not believe I need anymore of them (unless for some reason they do not accept my new accounting class).

Also I need to complete 12 credits of Excelsior classes since I enrolled under one of their Partnership Programs.

With all this in mind any ideas on the fastest way to complete my degree in BS_ Liberal studies would be appreciated.

Please note :
I recently joined IC so I would want to lean toward Upper level tests that they have material available for.

I am also looking for information on EC’s Religions of the World exam. Has any one here taken it? If yes, did you have a back ground in this area prior to taking it? Studying religions is one of my passions so I thought this exam might work for me but i am not sure about how they grade writing exams.
Do they care more about the content and ideas or about grammar,spelling, sentence structure, etc.

Thanks,

Peace
