Hello everyone,
Whoo hooo! Passed Biology today!! One down, Lord only knows how many to go but this one is in the basket!

On this test there were 14 to 15 questions that had dominant/recessive gene word problems. Knowing how to diagram a punnett square is invaluable for several of these questions.

2 to 3 questions on the chemical nature of genes and at least 10 other questions on the chemical composition of organisms.

I studied and studied cell division but there were only a couple of questions on this version of the test that applied. All 3 practice tests that I took had lots of those though so I wouldn't neglect it.

Had at least 15 questions that dealt with ecology and evolution.

And don't laugh but I found that this silly rhyme, " Kangroos play cellos, orangutans fiddle, gorillas sing," helped me to remember the classification order- kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. Answered 2 questions with this key.

That's all I remember right now.

Thanks to all of you for the encouragement of this board. No one here locally really thought it was possible so you all made the difference in even attempting this. hilarious

Almost forgot to mention, I used IC supplemented with online encyclopedia lookups and 3 practice tests from Peterson's and Clep's Official Study Guide.

I'm in Walden University's Business Administration degree program. They accepted CLEPS for micro and macro economics but they say I must attend class for the Statistics requirement. The class can be basically anywhere and can be online but they will not take a CLEP or any other test to fufill the requirement. Does anyone know of any colleges that offer an online statistics course that I can signup for without going through a bunch of hoops?

Thanks in advance!

I just wanted to let you all know that Excelsior has approved the Brigham Young Algebra course. It is 17 lessons and turn in assignments, 17 quizzes, two proctored tests and one proctored exam. While it is a bummer that it has to be proctored...I can usually learn anything...even math, long enough to pass one test at a time. Plus...I figure if I do well on my assignments...all I have to do is well enough to PASS on the tests. The good part is that it only costs $380 (+/-) and they send you all materials (no book to pay for). It is also self paced so , unlike the classes I am taking through Excelsior right now, I do not have to spread it out over 4 months and I could , conceivably, still finish in August! This might be an option for anyone in a similar situation or time crunch. Good luck to all!

Has anyone taken American Literature, Analysis and Interpretation of Literature, Analyzing and Interpreting Literature?

If someone has, which is the easiest and what did you study for them?

I need one more humanities class to fullfill my degree at Embry-Riddle.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Algebra or College Mathematics?

I'm assuming that both of these are probably easier than biology, natural science, or chemistry if you have good math skills but know nothing about the science cleps.

Thanks in advance!

Here is my five list of things to do:

1. Never study science or math again
2. Find a job in the medical field
3. Protect my health so my degree gets used
4. Take anyone who will listen and tell them about Instantcert
5. Relax alittle, love life alot and smile that is all over

Ahilarious nd say a huge prayer of thanks and be determined to use the gift I have been given!

I have never taken a CLEP course before, so I dont really know what to expect. However, I am using InstantCerts sociology guide as well as a book I bought to read over. I have learned all the concepts that instantcert tests me on, however when answering the questions out of the book, I miss about half of them, and some of them are not related to anything that instantcert goes over. Could someone tell me if knowing the concepts instantcert teaches is enough to pass the sociology clep? And why might this be?

Thanks for your help and replies

Thanks,

my transcripts were evaluated a while back and the business degree shows I need 80hours. one of my schools was only nationally accredited and they are waiting for the regional accreditation. with that school I had an associate of business so that was the reason i applied for business. those credits are now floating until the school gets accredited.

i spoke with the counselor who recommended a liberal arts degree which i would only require 57 hours.

can anyone give me an idea of their experience with the liberal arts degree - the process (degree/course/test plan). i had already charted out all my exams for the business degree now i am reassessing everything.

thanks for the help.

Well that's how I have been feeling. I couldn't get focused. I was feeling depressed and just couldn't get back into the study mode. So I decided to see our doctor and find out what might be the cause of all of this and the answer is..Iam now an insulin dependent diabetic. Moral of the story..if you feel this same way..get it checked out. Don't wait!!

It's better to know and carry on then be overwhelmed and depressed.!!

PASS'EM ALL Y'ALL
