    Thanks,

    ACE does not recommend upper-level credit for ANY of the CLEP exams, and for only a handful of the Dantes exams. Each college has its own policies though, so who knows, Thomas Edison might award upper-level credit for some of the CLEP.

    If you want to see which of our Dantes are upper-level, check out the table at http://www.instantcert.com/landing.html

    The last column indicates "Upper" for upper-level. The Soviet Union test we just added is upper-level.

    Also, I believe that many of the Thomas Edison and Excelsior College Exams are upper-level credit. You'll see that a couple of our DSST materials will adequately prepare you for their Excelsior College upper-level equivalents. Regarding Thomas Edison exams, though, I heard that they cost three or four hundred dollars each?!

    You should try posting a new thread to see how other people have fulfilled their upper-level credits. I imagine there are some creative ways out there--i.e. computer cert exams, GRE's, etc.

    With only a week of prep exclusively using Instacert, I got a 55 on CLEP US History 2.

    Like the person before me said, concentrate on Depression up through WWII, and Theodore Roosevelt era. Test wouldn't have been so tough if I had done that

    Thanks for the tips for us history 2, I will make sure I hit those areas really hard before I take the exam. I think I wasted money on teh US history 2 cliff notes because instantcert covers the same thing and more.

    Any tips on the Human Growth and Development CLEP. I have never taken one before. Is the Instacert Studyguide sufficient?
