Does anyone know where there is a web site for a practice test on astronomy? Thanks,Ron

I called Penn Foster today to try to arrange for an individual math course as suggested by several people here on instantcert, but they said I cannot register to take just one math class.."huh", I said and the guy hung up. So, Iam wondering was I suffering from bad breath and that turned the guy off, or they have too many students and don't need anymore, or did I go about this process all wrong??? Insight please and thank you!!

Ron:eek:

My education center offers the Principles of Financial Accounting DSST, but I see no study materials on this website. My library has the "Official DSST Guide", you know the one with the reddish cover, for the course, but if it's anything like the Technical Writing one, it's nothing more than a waste a trees and space. Anyone taken it or know where I can find good study materials for it? Thanks

1) Is there a way to find out test results or track your CLEPs and DSSTs online? I'm in the Army and stationed in Korea and results take 4-6 weeks. For all CLEP and some DANTES that are given CBT (Compter Based Testing) you receive your score as soon as you're finsihed; do you have a testing center on base?

2) By the look of it, IC looks like enough to receive a passing grade on all CLEP and DSST subjects, but of course, supplemental info is often recommended. Is that an accurate statement? Where could I find addt'l study guides, free of course? Yes - read my signature line below.

Hey BlackHawk - I inadvertantly "edited" your original post and added my comments and suggestions; sorry if I deleted anything pertinent!

Hi all,
I just want to vent for a sec. I had all my math requirements finished with my Army MOS, Int Algebra, and CLEP College Math. I even took CLEP College Algebra later just to take it. I got a C on College Algebra CLEP and Excelsior said I didn't need that because it duplicated my other math credits. I was happy with that because the C took down my GPA. Now,(6 months later) they just updated my transcript again and they traded out my College Math CLEP for the College Algebra CLEP! They are now saying that College Math CLEP duplicated my Army Credit? How can they do this when my earlier transcript counted it? Anyway, I already talked to them and they said if I wanted Algebra not to count I would have to take 3 more credits. This "C" brings down my GPA .4 points! Thanks for the vent.

I am preparing for ECE World Population and I plan to take it within 2 weeks. I just started reading Population by Weeks. Anyone take this exam recently? Are there any other resources that I can use to help me with this exam?

Thanks

Hello everyone

I took my first CLEP test about over a month ago and directed that my results be sent to my university. Any idea or experiences on how long Thompson/Prometric usually takes to ship these things out? My university is quite good at posting them within days of receipt.

Thanks much.

Hi to all out there! I am currently working on a BA in liberal arts with a major in phsycology through Excelsior College. And I wanted to know... is there a/o out there who went this route before and would have some helpful tips for me in pursuing my masters in social work? And if not, would anyone know what my options for that are? For example, would colleges in NJ, and if so which ones, accept me with my undergrad from Excelsior (and not through actually sitting in class)? Do I have a chance of getting into an accelerated program if I have eight prior years of experience in teaching? I hope to complete my BA in June of 2007 and to begin my masters in Sep. of 07. I am looking for direction in going about it. Any advice, suggesstions or experience would be tremendously appreciated. Diane

Good Afternoon,

I am a new user of Instacert and I am looking for any and all good advice. I have never taken a CLEP Exam and I have no idea what to expect. I have read a ton of posts about the successes people have experienced. I have 75 credits from traditional learning and I am looking to get this done quickly. How long should I study for each exam? Is there a list that ranks the difficulty of each exam? I have no idea in which order I should take the tests.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,
Jim

Hi all. Me again. I've taken a CLEP break since my IR class is kicking my butt, (my own fault for procrastinating)

I was wondering, anyone out there with AMU experience... do you all know what sorts of credit one would get for the FEMA courses, Docnet, and/or Unitar?

It says that all are accepted on their site, and that FEMA also applies to their masters programs... but... as nice and helpful as the admin. have been... they are uber bogged down at the moment, and asside from my advisor not being overly responsive except with general advice like "finish your gen eds, then your core, then... blah blah" they also really sort of refuse to tell you anything about potential credits even if you are enrolled and they could apply to your degree program.

The way to get around this is to submit and evaluation update form... but I all ready have one of those outstanding... from my first clep... which they have not processed yet... (at this moment supposed to take ANOTHER month... for ONE test to show up...) and they don't like it if you submit more while one is yet to be processed...

As impressed as I have been with them, and as happy as I am for the most part, I am a wee bit frustrated and saddened to see some of these Bureaucratic backups occuring more frequently since RA.

One of their snafu's... even after talking to three people in the same department, and being told by all three that it was no problem... cost my registration to all my classes in the next two months...

So, anyone out there... any ideas as to what kind of credit I might get from that going for a BA in Intel? I'm pretty sure about the UNITAR stuff because they offer those courses directly... but... unsure about FEMA, and Docnet.

Thanks. Sorry for being so long winded. I just want to knock as much time off my degree as possible...
