Just wanted to take a moment to reflect and thank everyone

In August 2006 I started a degree at the University of Phoenix; it took me about 7 months to get 15 credits units with and accumulated close to $7500 in student loans
And then I came across IC via Google search and it took me about another month or so before even discover or logon this forum.

One night I literally spent the whole night reading through pass threads and for the first in my twenty something years on this earth I heard about the Big three and testing out
I though it was too good to be true, but I went on and reached it and there was my miracle.
I immediately decided to drop out of UOP and started looking at EC, after some encouragement from the wonderful people on the forum I made my final decision and enrolled at EC.
Today just about two months in this exciting adventure I have gotten 15 more credit units between CLEP and Dantes in between work, travel and Vacation with an exact cost of $385 dollars

Compare 15 credits units 7+ months and &7500 in student loans to 15 credit units in two months cost $382 fully paid for.

What can I can I am so grateful, I know I still have a long way to go, but Boy I am walking on cloud 9 OH plus I have an extra 9 FEMA credits

I just want to say thank you everyone

Hey....just wondering if anyone has any tips for what I should focus on when studying for the American Government CLEP. I failed this test by only two points :confused: and I really want to attack it this time. What has helped the most?

For those of you that have taken the Biology Clep what would you say were the key components to have down - such as cell division (Mitosis and Meiosis), plant structures, etc. I would appreciate any and all insight on this matter as I am taking my test wed.

I feel ready and am doing good with the practice exams - just wondering what everyone thought were key ideas to the exam.

As well when I take my exam I will list what is fresh on my head from taking the test to share with the rest of the group.

hey,

I want to take a B.S in computer information systems but I don't know the right college for an online or a distance lerning degree.:o

right now I'm interisting about the degree offred from world college Online Bachelor's Degree in Computer Information Systems and Electronics Engineering Technology cause it's looks a greet programe and they have a
a good financing programe with a mounthly payment.

so I need your advices guys about if there is another regionally accredited college who offer a good B.S degree

and I have another question too , the world college accredited from the DETC , CHEA and DANTES is that means that it's a regionally accredited and accepted everywhere and the employers finds it ok? :confused:




thanks a lot

can anyone recommend a good supplement to IC for the information systems CLEP?

I know alot of you just used IC to pass. But I would like to skim a good book if you know of one or used a specific one to pass.

I did a search and the only name i saw was one by Larry Long?

PDFs are good too if you have them.

Thanks

Hey all you fellow exam takers,

I have a question for you... I have recently applied to Excelsior but I am waiting for them to process all my transcripts, so in the meantime, I need to have an idea regarding which tests I may need to take.

I have a 12 upper level credits from UOP such as Astronomy, Paradigms of Health, Human Motivation, and another I can't remember off hand. Even though these are upper level, they are not what I would call "Business" credits.

In your experience, would you say that these upper level courses count as upper level business credits at Excelsior? That would sure help if they did because I would CLEP the 3 lower level electives instead. I don't want these upper level courses to be counted as plain ole' electives.

How did Excelsior treat your upper level non-business related credits? ...If you've been in this situation.

Thanks in advance,

Hi:

Does anyone know what kind of a calculator you're allowed to use for the CLEP college math exam? I know you can use a non-programmable scientific type for the DANTES. Is it the same with CLEP, or do you just use a pocket calculator?

A response would be appreciated. I have to take this exam in a week, and I am very mathphobic. I've tested out of 100 plus credits so far, and have the CLEP math, DANTES Stats and TECEP research design left in order to complete my degree with Thomas Edison.

Any tips would be appreciated, I have saved the worst for last and am very nervous about these exams-passed the rest of the exams in 7 months but am procrastinating on these last two math related ones...


Thanks!

Well folks the time has finally arrived!! After more then 4 years and countless hours of studying and writing innumerable papers it boils down to a final Dantes test tommorow (Saturday April 21, 2007) to get 3 undergraduate credits so I can receive my Bachelor of Science in Business/Management degree.

It has not been a stroll in the park by any means, but hopefully all the stress and hard work will soon pay-off.

For me this was more of a personal achievement rather then a career altering decision, but I can only presume it will lead to opening or altering career changes down the road.

So the way it will hopefully play out is, I pass the test, get my results in a couple of weeks and after applying the credits, I receive my long awaited bachelor’s degree.

Well wish me luck! I NEED TO PASS!!!

Hey all!

I just looked at this site, http://www.college.studytactics.com . They have information about CLEPs, DANTES, AP exams, etc. Looks like a great resource. They don't have "free" exams from what I can see, but they list study books for the tests, redirect to test sites, etc. And they also have, under free materials, different subjects listed where they have compiled websites about that topic. You can also buy new and used books there, read sparknotes, dowload e-books, access to libraries, and lots more. Looks very useful! [/SIZE]
