    To me, anytime that you can take a practice exam is an extreme benefit especially with DANTES exams just because of their often odd way of posing a question or listing of answer choices. Practice exams always seem to get me in the groove. GOOD LUCK!!

    Default Excelsior Practice Exams

    Would you recommend Excelsior practice exams at $75.00 each?

    If it would assist me in passing and I really needed it, yes.

    Of course $75.00 is nothing to sneeze at but neither is shelling out several hundred dollars just to take one class. I guess it's all on how you look at it, dollar for dollar, and also if taking or skipping a practice exam makes the difference between passing or failing.

    When in doubt - I shell it out!

    Thanks Brian for your opinion. We don't want to be pennywise and degree foolish.

    Ha ha! That's right!

    If we play our cards right though, we can be both penny wise AND degree wise.

    ShotoJuku is absolutely correct, in the overall scheme of things, an extra $70 STILL makes us way ahead of the game.
