    Default IC for Bachelor level courses or Master level courses

    Does lower level credits refer to BA level courses and upper level refers to Master level courses?

    In any case, does IC have any upper level exams available?

    I don't think "upper level" is Masters level... I think it's more like...

    lower level courses: 100 level courses
    upper level courses: 200 +
    Most of IC is for 200 + level

    Hope this helps - someone will jump in quickly if I'm wrong on what I said.

    Mostly right. Actually, what counts as "upper level" is determined by the university. Both upper & lower level courses are undergraduate courses. Generally, college-level coursework for undergrads comes in the following varieties (there are many schools that deviate from this standard.) At a traditional school, 100 generally corresponds to freshman courses, 200 to sophomore, and so on:

    001 - 099 -- remedial/preparatory courses. Does not count toward degree.
    100 - 199 -- lower level/introductory courses.
    200 - 299 -- lower level at Excelsior; upper level at TESC
    300 - 499 -- upper level at both Excelsior & TESC

    When you get into the 500+ range, you're doing graduate/masters-level work or higher.

    IC does have flashcards for upper-level undergraduate exams. You can probably access a list of those on the landing page for the site.
