Way to go Marshall. Keep that ball rolling!!!!!!

I am new to this forum, and I am glad to have stumbled upon it. I am in a BSN program, and I am currently studying for the Dantes Statistics exam. I appreciate all the resources listed throughout the posts. So far I passed the Dantes intro to world religion with a 60.

I passed Organizational Behavior, yesterday, with a 68!!! I am so happy. Now on to English Comp. w/ essay and English Literature.

Congrats to Julygirl - excellent score on what can be a fairly challenging exam!

Wendy - you're knocking them out - well done on Intro to Business!

Inwe - great score on Organizational Behavior!

Now if I can just make some headway with Principals of Finance....of course not having any recent Accounting courses/exams means starting from scratch and more to study before I can improve my cash flow!

Great job y'all!

Took ECE Cultural Diversity today. Signed in at 8:00. Finished the 130 questions @ 8:25! I was actually surprised that I only received a B because I felt there were only 2-3 questions I didn't know. Still happy with the score! I felt out of all the Excelsior Exams I have taken thus far, this one was easiest and less reading intensive. At least compared to Ethics! Usually I leave Pearson with a headache but I actually felt great after this one.

I tried to post this on the Specific Exam thread but it wouldn't let me. So I apologize for the lengthy post. Hopefully the powers that be will move this post to where it can help people trying to find info about the ECE Cultural Diversity exam.

Just got back two more results and they were in a different score format than the others.

Drug and Alcohol Abuse- 401 Ace Recommended- 400
Criminal Justice- 419 Ace Recommended- 400

Does anyone have any idea what the CJ score amounts to in terms of letter grade at TESC? I am fairly certain that the Drug and Alcohol Abuse is a "C".
