I scored a D on ECE Labor Relations today!!! I thought I had gotten at least a B on the test, but when I hit that final submission button, a D showed on the screen! I was really surprised. It seemed like it was MUCH less difficult than ECE HRM or Org. Behavior, which I passed with little difficulty. Man, it threw me for a loop.

This was my last test, too. I'm pretty disheartened. I'm not really sure what to do about this final, upper-level business related course. Do any of you have a suggestion? I guess I just got over confident and didn't study enough. Not to mention, that this was the first and only test I've taken that InstantCert doesn't have a guide for...

Thanks for your help.

Matt

Hey Matt -

Based on your posted scores I would have to say right off the bat that the two variables that you listed (less study and no IC) are most probably the culprits here. It happens and it sucks!

What options do you have now??

Believe me, I know the feeling. But I'm sure you will move ahead and find a way.


Happy Holidays!!!

Many of us have encountered a setback at the last minute in getting our degrees, so don't let it get you down! How about taking the DSST Management Information Systems test? It's UL and business related. The other UL DSST tests available that are business related are Business Law II, and Principles of Finance.

Thank you for the advice. I'm enrolled at Charter Oak, and unfortunately they seem to be a good deal more stringent in deciding which tests are accepted as upper level and which as lower level. Management info Systems and principles of Finance are both considered lower-level.

I have been looking into Business Law II and, I think that this may be a good option for me. I did take an upper level business law class at my traditional school (which Charter Oak transferred only as lower level), so I may already be more prepared for this.

Do any of you have tips on Business Law II? I would greatly appreciate it!

Matt
