? Newbie Needing some help from the Pro's Please!!!
#1
[SIZE="3"][/SIZE] Hello everyone! I finally submitted my application for admission and have my Evaluation Summary completed. I'm working on My Bachelor of Science in Liberal Arts Degree. According to my evaluation, this is what is needed to complete my degree requirements:
General Education (Arts & Sciences Requirement)
21.00 semester hours at the upper level,
Applied Professional Credits or Additional Arts & Sciences
4.00 semester hours lower level in any academic area
9.00 semester hours upper level in any academic area

To cut cost I enrolled under the Military Partnership Option 1 so I'm required to take 12 credits at Excelsior.

So far I'm enrolled to take INL 102 Information Literacy, BUS 311 Organizational behavior, and CCS 111 STRATEGIES FOR VETERANS' SUCCESS IN COLLEGE. So I have to take about 2 more classes at excelsior and I can test out of the rest, which would be around 21 credit hrs/7 test.

:confused: I would really appreciate any advice on what test I should tackle first or in what order I should take these exams, which are all UL? I'm currently studying for the HR Management exam and should take that next week. I thank everyone in advance for their advice and I can't wait to share my knowledge with the Newbies like myself once I become a Pro!! Big Grin

I took ECE Ethics, World Population, Abnormal Psych, Gerontology, Psychology of Adulthood and Aging, HR Management, Research Methods in Psychology,

I was able to Get A's on all the above except Gerontology and HR Management (B's) using IC along with finding exams online in the recommended textbooks student section (free).

dont forget the easy As, MIS and drugs and alcohol abuse. These are two easy upper level dantes tests, I would not take anymore classes that are not upper level, since they are a little harder to come by through testing.

Absolutely take the upper level DSST courses! For some reason I thought we were just talking about ECE exams. I took MIS, Civil War, and Drug and Alcohol Abuse.

Good point.

I'm glad I came accross this forum.

I'm missing credits from general education for below subjects and wanted to know what recommendations for CLEP may fulfil these requirements:

3 Humanties
3 Math
3 Social Science

Besides the above I still need 10 elective credits....

I already took the spanish clep which was great I got 12 credits for that. But last week I tried the Analysis and Interpeting English Lit and failed it by 6 points...

Would like some guidance to these last credits completed.

Awaiting your guidance...:o

for humanities I would recommend ethics in american, others may disagree with me but I took it cold and did well
for social science I would go with social science and history, it is a 6 credit clep and isnt too hard with a little studying
For the math, you will have to check to see what you school requires but if possible I would take Clep college math, it is a 6 credit clep as well and probably the easiest math test out there unless you are well versed in high maths like algebra.

If you end up taking social science and history you may as well take sociology and intro to psychology, they over lap and that is another 6. take all of these and you will have fulfilled your requirements.
