I, too, am jealous that Annegirl got to go to London. My wife & I went to Prague, Vienna & Budapest in March of '06 for 12 days. That was an absolutely amazing trip. Got to see this wonderful ballet in Vienna. Prague is probably my favorite. I'd love to go back.
I heard of IC through CollegePlus as well. I'll never look back.

It's a little late, but I've been offline for quite some time, but I got a 67 on MIS! Macro and Microeconomics are the last ones on my list.

Question: You wont get shot at in London right? Must be nice to go to London on vacation, I'll get my chance pretty soon. I recommend you don't go to Baghdad for vacation
I've been in the Army 11 years and until now I hadn't done anything to continue my higher education other than Army schools. I work in the IT business and the funny thing is even though it pays very well on the outside, I don't enjoy this job.
A friend of mine, a civilian contractor who works with me over here in Baghdad told me about IC, showed me the website and how it works and how he got his degree using IC to test out of many classes. I checked it out, and I got the 6 month membership. I think I joined in October and I've been trying to take one test every 2 or 3 weeks with good results so far. I think it was a very good investment.

Well,
It became very clear that what was standing between myself and a decent position was a degree. I had never even heard of Clep or Dantes, or Excelsior. I came across some "degree programs" that were of a questionable nature. I had a moment of consideration and then my better senses got the best of me and I did a google search for scam degree programs.
Thereafter, I came upon the bain site, saw the mention of Clep and Dantes, started googling, found instantcert in a google search. I signed up November 14, 2007 and did my first clep on the 16th using instantcert only.
And that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
