    Really? the author of 123collegedegree.com disagrees. See below:

    The following input came from the creator of 123collegedegree.com regarding the ECE Ethics exam:

    This one is similar to the DSST version, in that only about a 1/3 of testing the theories, and 2/3s of application of the theories. You can pass this if you use the DSST Ethics in America study guide. (I got a "B" on it using ONLY this study guide) But it is not complete. You may be able to get an "A" if you guess well enough. Take this one the same day as the DSST version. Some of the concepts you may want to home in on include:

    - utilitarianism (the underlying principles was MOST important for the whole test, but knowing "spin-offs" from Mills or Bentham (sp?) also helps)
    - Kantianism and his categorial imperative
    - Aquinas and the double-effect
    - Aristotle and principles of virtue
    - Epicurus and hedonism
    - consequentialism vs deontologial morals
    - autonomy
    - divine command theory and moral objectivism
    - social contract (Hobbes)

    Nice Post! Actually, we should be releasing some additional sections for the Ethics materials by the end of March. They'll be optional, but they're going to consist entirely of application/scenario questions.

    Default Ece 123

    Steelers,
    I guess everyone's experience is a bit different. Maybe I just had a mental block on the subject!
    For me, the sheer amount of practical scenarios was overwhelming; required way more mental energy than any other exam I've ever taken. The DSST Ethics was cake, couple of hours prep with InstaCert was all I needed. But there was no way I would have been able to pass the ECE without Excelsior's practice test.
    I'm curious to get your thoughts about the exam after you take it. I hope that it's not as hard for you.

    What did you have to pay for Excelsiors Ethics practice test?

    Default ECE Practice Test

    It's $75. Purchased direct from their site. Well worth it!

    Definitely take the Civil War exam. I got a 67. Used Ken Burns series, Dummies or Idiots books, Everything you always wanted to know about...,
    I had never heard of Instacert as it was my first exam.
