Hi,

I thought I would introduce myself. My name is Brenda and I am currently a full-time Licensed Practical Nurse in a small town in northern Wisconsin. I am working on getting my Bachelor's of Science in nursing through Indiana State University. So far I have taken the following Excelsior Exams:

Anatomy and Physiology 6 credits
Microbiology 3 credits
Pathophysiology 3 credits (upper level)
English Composition 6 credits

Excelsior's english comp with essay is a nightmare. It is a computerized timed test. You have 3 hours to write 3 papers. I have spoken to the college regarding this test. If anyone plans on taking this,let me know and I will talk to you about this one. ISU would only accept Excelsior's class for Eng. Comp.

I will take my first CLEP on Thursday. After taking the above Excelsior tests I feel well prepared to take a CLEP exam. Instacert is great. I plan on using CLEP, DSST's and Excelsior exams for my entire first 2 years of school and then some. Intro to Sociology will be my first exam and I feel well prepared. I also used an Intro to Sociology textbook that my 20 year old college son had. It was a $25 textbook from Best Value textbook compnay and had great info in it. Easy reading.

I feel blessed to have stumbled upon Instacert!

Good Luck to all,
Brenda
