    Thumbs up Thomas Edison question

    I have successfully passed the dantes Here's to your health and the dantes Environment and humanity race to save the planet. I see both of these listed as physical science exams under the dantes course description listings. Okay, so TESC has changed their prior stance on the Environment course and has listed it under my science requirements. Now Iam trying to convince them that this to should be credited under my science requirement and if they do then I ONLY HAVE THE DREADED....KILLER...I HATE MATH COURSE LEFT BEFORE GRADUATION!! So, I need your help in trying to build my case for the science course rather then having them treat the Here's To Your Health" as a free elective. I need your advice. insight, expertise or whatever inorder to convince them to see this MY way. Thoughts ????? Thanks in advance!! Ron

    Hi Ron,

    Well for starters, you might want to mention that it's listed under the PHYSICAL SCIENCE section of the DANTES site:
    http://www.getcollegecredit.com/materials.htm

    It is listed alongside Environment & Humanity, Astronomy, Physical Geology, and Physical Science I.

    Don't know if that helps any.

    Best of luck,
    Snazzlefrag

    I spoke with a representative of TESC just a while ago and she said they definitely do not accept Here's To Your Health as a science course. So next Tuesday I will go in an Clep the Natural Science course. Iam using Barron's as my main study tool and since my science skills border on nonexistent this will prove to be an interesting test. More tha any test I have prepared for to daye this one I can honestly say has me stumped as to how to get excited and comfortable in a study format. So far Iam getting 45%of the Barron's practice test questions correct and I know I have to get that up to a much higher level. SNAZZLEFRAG, thanks for the response, but it looks as if it's gonna be me a natural science dueling it out next week.
    Thanks again, Ron
