  Analyzing & Interpreting Literature
Posted by: B2MANLEY - 08-24-2006, 07:30 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (10)

I am getting ready to take the A&I Exam in a couple of weeks and wanted to get some opinions. I have done numerous searches through pasts threads, and read a lot of good feedback. I have a question for those of you who have taken the exam. Should I purchase the REA book for A&I to prepare?

Most of what I have read in past threads say to google search literary terms, and take some practice exams. I have the CLEP Prep Guide, and just wanted to find out if a combination of individual research (Google, Wikipedia, etc.) and the CLEP Prep Guide would be sufficient. I will order the REA Book if it will be beneficial.

Thanks in advance...

  When taking a test...
Posted by: Keyboard Ninja - 08-23-2006, 08:53 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (11)

I'm studying for my Principles of Management CLEP exam right now, and I hope to take it in 14 days. What I was curious to know was how is the test setup? Is it just multiple choice, with similar questions to what InstantCert has to offer? Or are they scenarios, and you have to identify which answer relates to the scenario?

  After "review"...I now need 1 more class =P
Posted by: Urbannaja - 08-23-2006, 08:15 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (5)

:mad:

Well...I thought I was finished with my requirements after getting all my upper lvl credit. My admissions officer went over my transcript again and decided I need 3 more english credits =P I'm annoyed because I could have finished it a couple months ago no problem...but now I'm in the orientation and about to begin classes (thankfully the 3 credit deficit isn't going to keep me out) and don't have much time to get the test done =P Anyway, I'm just really annoyed. From what most people have posted, sounds like Analyzing and Interpreting Literature will be the easiest choice, as I can't do writing timed.

  Organizational Behavior - ECE - *FAILED*
Posted by: PriTyan - 08-23-2006, 01:34 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (13)

I hope someone can explain to my how the hell I failed this test this morning. When I say FAILED I mean FAILED- I did not get over 50% on any of the three sections.

I don't recall exactly what each three sections read (print out is in my car), but I got like %30, 49% and 47%. Most of the questions were common sense. I probably would have scored better if I just arbitrarily guessed at each question.

I checked the Military pass rate on this exam and it was like 89%.

I used Instacert and the DSST Prep guide, but there were no questions on the exam that was not covered in this material.

Nonetheless, what is the retake procedure for ECE Exams. Do I have to wait 6 months like the CLEP?

  I just took money and banking
Posted by: avi - 08-23-2006, 07:20 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (21)

I went into the money and banking test today petrified. I did a petersons practice tests and got only 40 percent correct. I read all the threads on this test and was totally scared.
This test was not nearly as hard for me as its made out to be. There were quite a few reasons and I will try to explain so others can benefit.
1) I did macro, micro, finance and accounting before this test. Many questions were based on info from those previous courses!!!!!!!!
2) I knew all the instancert material very well!!!
3)The same as 1

I am a big talker now when I really dont know my score, however I firmly believe that this is a very very doable test if you understand the concepts. I will tell you guys in a few weeks what happens- good luck everyone. This is the first peterson test I paid for and I felt it was a total waste. The questions were 50% harder then the actuall test and almost all the info was totally unrelevant to the test. Good luck everyone.

  CLEP Overlap
Posted by: DanK - 08-22-2006, 10:31 PM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (9)

I'm a student at Empire State College, and I've just been told by somebody on the degree planning committee that they may not allow me full credit for some combinations of CLEP tests. Example: the claim is that since the CLEP Social Science and History test is 17% US history, then I should not get credit for the overlap with US History 1. So, the committee may decide to deduct a credit due to the overlap. The same thing with my CLEP College Math and the ECE Statistics. CLEP contains 25% statistics, so they may deduct that, too

I will not make a difference because I have way too many lower level credits, but it does seem petty. Is this normal? Has anybody heard of this occurring at ESC or another college? Do some schools get annoyed if you have allot of CLEP or other tests?

Just curious.

PS, I just passed the ECE test in Org Behavior today.

  Business degree help / Easy math Test!
Posted by: avi - 08-22-2006, 07:28 AM - Forum: General Education-Related Discussion - Replies (3)

I hope this info can help someone in ic land. I am going for a business major at Thomas Edison. For the business major you need 3 business requirements, and this also pertains to anyone else who has business requirements. There is a test business math that I have not seen people post much about. Just to tell everyone, that I am looking over the material and it is like 5th grade stuff. Most of the material is from basic and I mean basic statistics and probability. But I am taking about real easy material. So I decided to make this post, since I have not seen any other threads about this test. Dont get scared of B/c of the MATH, its really basic stuff.
