I need help. :o Can the average dummy pass this test with just IC? Please let me know if you have passed it and what study info was used. I have this test and the civil war test sitting waiting for me in pencil form at the university.

thanks,

I am scheduled to take German and also social science/history this Friday. I am debating adding intro sociology to it but am concerned about fatigue. Has anyone done three exams in one day? It could be rewarding - possibly 21 credits in one day - but I don't want to over-reach. What are your thoughts? (other than 'she's got to be crazy' )

I take my final final next week, and that 's it, all requirements fulfilled, I'll have done it...however, the celebratory feeling is being marred by the fact that my school has bungled up retrieving my CLEP scores from it's statewide system, and half of them are still not showing up on my transcript as of yesterday. I entered the correct code on every CLEP test I took, and it should have been a simple thing. I took my last CLEP in AUGUST!!!

Apparently the credentials analyst was on leave, and other people filled in, and inadvertently entered things wrong, or missed entering credits...

ACK!!

My registrar is working on it now, but it is so frustrating. I am so afraid that something will be missing, or there will be yet another glitch in seeing all of the 45 credits that I tested out of since last March.

If they get it straightened out, I should have my letter for me (and my employer) stating I have fulfilled all requirements within 10 days, but it depends on these scores and they're "working on it"...

Has anyone else experienced this with a B & M school or otherwise?

:mad:

I'm starting to study for the Civil War exam. Has anybody scored well just using IC and the PBS Burns Civil War video series? I would like to get an A on the exam and was wondering if these two would be adequate. I like the idea of watching a video versus reading a boring book. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Any more practice tests besides the IC? I tried one of the official DSST practice tests but at $20 a test of 50 questsion (only 2 tests for a total of $40 is steep). I might fork out for test 2 if there are not any other resources. I am going to take this Thursday as it will be my 4th test in five weeks.

I have been going through all the exams questions here on Instacert and will continue to do so before taking the test. I am scheduled to take the test this Saturday morning 10/21. I do not have any background in Sociology and am pretty much relying on Instacert. I have looked at some stuff on freeuniv.com -- Any tips?? Any special areas to look at? Has anyone taken this exam recently? Was it difficult?

As all moaning Thomas Edison students are aware, the CLEP Trig/College Algebra was replaced by Precalculus - a required course for we business majors. I am going to take it. Instacert has nothing and the CLEP site has no specific textbook recommendations. The description cited:

Section 1: 25 questions, 50 minutes. The use of an online graphing calculator (non-CAS) is allowed for this section. Only some of the questions will require the use of the calculator.
Section 2: 23 questions, 40 minutes. No calculator is allowed for this section.

Here's the official exam description:

Has anyone taken this? What is it like? Any book recommendations? Maybe any video series as well? I will pay hard cash for good resources! Thanks, guys.

All,

I just completed my 7th DSST exam today since September 14th. I have passed them all by a comfortable margin with the exception of Drug and Alcohol Abuse which was more difficult than expected. Intro to Computing.. was easier than expected. I had not studied for that one at all, so I took it cold since I was already at the testing center and passed. It wasn't a breeze, but should be passable to all of you. I also took Environment and Humanity--it was difficult and not much like the study guide, but I passed it also by a comfortable margin. The third test I took today was Personal Finance--no studying--it was very easy and I would recommend it.

The others such as Criminal Justice, Here's to your Health and Intro to Business are easy using the study guide.

Good Luck to all of you! This was my last test. I will be done with my BS in Management next month!

Following are tests and scores:
Intro to Computing - Score: 60
Personal Finance - Score: 59
Environment and Humanity - Score: 58
Intro to Business - Score: 63
Criminal Justice - Score: 57
Here's to your health - Score: 63
Drug and Alcohol Abuse - Score: 50
hilarious

Boy are their practive tests much tougher than I/C's flash cards.
I feel like I have a great idea about concepts until I read some of the ways they pose the questions.

I've traditionally scored lower on theirs than on here but geez....

Hey,

I'm thinking of doing Astronomy as an elective. Has anyone taken this, and or know a way I could study for it. I decided to maybe do this instead of Sociology if possible. It just seemed a little more interesting, ya know. But if I cant find a good way to study for it I might have to stick with ol' sociology.
