I am new to instacert and want everyone's opinion on Personal Finance. I have used the falsh cards for a few days and can answer most of them. When will I know if I am ready? I am a 37 year old who works at a bank so out of the gate I could answer 50% of the flash cards.

Did you take a Petersons test? If not take one and see how you score. I found this test pretty easy.

What are you using that test for? Most schools don't accept that class as "finance" credit.

I am using it for an elective that can be in anything. I am going to IWU online and had to have 7 electives in addition to the CORE program. I picked Personal Finance because I already had some knowledge to build on. I have emailed my adviser to see what score I must get for credit.
