Hello,

I have started studying for the Marketing CLEP which I will take in July. I think I'm making more out of the markup questions as it should be fairly simple to figure out. I see there are different ways of calculating selling price and cost. For example, if I want to calculate the cost of a new table I just purchased and know the retail selling price was $1,000, and the markup percentage on the selling price is 60% - how would I determine the cost?

Is there an easy formula(s) on how to calculate these and are there many of these questions on the actual CLEP (if you've had exposure to it)?

Thank you in advance.

If anyone have ever taken Dantes intro to world religions, please let me know if IC is enough to pass it.

Thanks
Ray

Bueller?

I have a feeling that I'm probably one of about two people who are actually planning (or took) ECE Psychology of Adulthood and Aging...

I'm so over studying aging (just came off a Geronotology exam). But if I can pass this one (on Thursday) then I'll be 3 measly little credits from graduating... so if you're the other person who has taken it and have any feedback - I'd love to hear!

(I'm using the recommended text by Cavanaugh as well as the Spark notes suggested by others.)

Thanks!

I took the Civil War and Reconstruction test today. 112 questions. I feel pretty confident that I passed; if so, I am a graduated man. I'm having the test delivered UPS overnight and requested a hand-scoring. I should know by tomorrow afternoon if I passed. I feel really confident I passed and can't imagine how devistated I'll feel if I failed.

I used InstantCert, Ken Burns videos, Sparknotes, Wikipedia and referenced 3 history books that I still have from prior classes.

I have reviewed the postings and the t.v. Annennberg program..which will be a big help..and Iam now hopeful of finding more suggestions for pretests, other guide sources ,books or whatever. I need to put the science category to rest. Iam anxious for help in getting this test passed. Thanks in advance for any insight anyone who has taken the dantes geology test can offer.

I know there are a lot of good college out there. I am just curious of how do you choose a college to get a degree in a short amount of time? What I mean is what do you actually consider before you enroll in a college?

THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED...............

Greetings everyone:

I saw on this site that somebody mentioned Spark notes for Marketing. Does anybody know if the Spark chart is helpful? It's only $5. I'm using REA and InstantCert, and will take the official CLEP practice marketing test (17th edition) when I've studied some more. For Management, I found the Peterson tests excellent, but they unfortunately do not exist for Marketing.

Yesterday I took the Management CLEP and scored 76 out of 80. I would like to say, however, that I did not find the test particularly easy, and I worked hard for 3 weeks using InstantCert, Comex and the Peterson tests, not to mention the official CLEP test. My university requires not 50 but a score of 65, so I was not overconfident. In addition, we only get one shot, and that's it. No testing 6 months later if you fail.

I write this because I see a number of entries where people say they got high scores with just a few hours/days of prep, and the tests were a breeze. Possibly these people are business majors? Maybe they prepped a little more than they realized? I already have a humanities BA with a GPA is 3.87 (I'm doing a pre-MBA now), so I know how to learn effectively, and I still think it's important to study and prepare--a lot.

I write this for anybody who reads the claims that you can do minimal prep work and just fly through a breezy test and all is well. From what I've seen, too much confidence about how easy something will be is a good way to be taken by surprise and fail a test. This holds true especially if your institution requires a higher score than the standard 50, and/or you only have one chance to pass.

Now about those Spark notes for Marketing -- any opinions on those?

Hey Shoko....

I will be taking the College Algebra CLEP on Monday. I know you and I are both "Math-Phobics" I will let you know if I pas...(OR if I don't) Thanks.

Can anyone who has dealt with Excelsior advise me on how they handle this exam, in light of it not satisfying their written English requirement? Seems like it would be duplicate credit for any classes fulfilling that requirement, and not be counted. Thanks.
