CLEP Biology - 50
CLEP Natural Sciences - 50 (No studying after completing Biology)
Intro to Computing DSST - 443 (Pass)
Intro to Business - 420 (Pass)
And this is all within the last 2 weeks, the only one I studied for was Biology, but my study is limited since I just finished up a full load during the summer semester, it has been hectic but all I can say is someone is watching out for me. Last year I CLEP'd Algebra with a 50 as well no studying.
Now let me say I am not an advocate of cold testing, I do a lot of reading/research and I did fail Bio and Business Law last year after intensive study, I think I psych myself out by overstudying rather than understanding the subjects and going in with an eased mind.
Next on the list -
Analyzing and Intepreting Literature CLEP
Information Systems CLEP
Principles of Supervision DSST
Personal Finance DSST
Principles of Marketing CLEP
Other CLEPS I did study for and passed -
Principles of Management
Intro to Sociology

HedyBrown,
I saw you said you are getting your BA in Irish Studies. I thought Regis only had an undergrad certificate in Irish Studies? A friend of mine has taught at Regis for quite sometime now.

Alley,
There is a certificate program through Regis. There is also (I think fairly recent?) an Irish Studies BA under the Liberal Arts college, which is a LA degree with the certificate. I guess the correct description is a BA in Liberal Arts with an emphasis in Irish Studies, but it seemed like a mouthful :-) I will also have a diploma from the National University of Ireland Galway when I graduate in the spring.
And the story is that I dropped out of school at 19 (Fall '96) to join some friends in starting a high tech company. Sold the company, worked in marketing for twelve years, went back to school with the intention of finishing a marketing degree, and realized I hate business so much I don't want to do it at night too! My passion in life is late 18th century Irish politics - hence the little Whig I've got as an avatar :-) It seemed like a good fit.
But I haven't the patience to sit through all of those classes!

Hedy,
I thought that is how they set up the degree at Regis. My friend taught at National and at BC for many years. I think it is very nice that National also grants a certificate in the area of study. How many of the Irish classes have you taken? My passion for a long time now has been Irish Georgian Architecture. Love it!
Well good luck in your studies Hedy!

I'm using IC now so we'll see if my scores drastically improve.

Again not great scores but I'm just moseying over to the education office and taking these tests. The ultimate goal is to finish my degree in December so I can apply for OTS, all that matters is I get the credit and retain my gpa.
To be completely finished I need 2 upper level tests, this is where it will get interesting because I am taking 4 classes and UL tests require study, I'll post an update
