I am unofficially done as well, I took the DSST Statistics tonight and passed with a 55 which for EC is an A. This exam was really hard and I would saw I used my calculator for 95 of the 101 questions. I kept waiting for those theory gimme questions and they certainly didn't pop out at me on this.

I am sooooo very, very happy.


Next question I believe this leaves me .01 below magna cum laude what do you think hurry up and take criminal justice for another A (costs $90 plus proctor fee) or just say done, finito?

Way to go!!! Nice feedback on Stats too. I was in a similar predicament--but I would have to replace 3 science credits and 3 other arts and humanities and I decided not to. If I were one "easy" test away, I would do it. Just watch out for Criminal Justice. It's an easy test and I believe I was sure of more answers on that test than any other I took, but I just squeaked an "A" out with one of my lowest grades. I believe you have to get a LOT right to get an A. Having said that, I don't doubt for a millisecond that you can do it. Go for the magna!!

If the CJ test will do it, I say go for it. It was a nice easy test I thought. If you don't, you'll spend the rest of your life saying, "well, I was only .01 below magna cum laude...."

"Brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.” Randy Pausch

Congratulations! I'm waiting for my final Business Strategy grade, so maybe I'm done too. Are you planning to go to the graduation ceremonies?

I haven't decided it is about a 5 hour drive for me and I have family in the area so I could. I don't want to take away from my daughters graduation next week either. I keep going back and forth on it. Guess I have to decide now.
