Hi Everybody,
I just wanted to say thanks for the wonderful breadth of information given here and all the experiences by the users of each test.
Tomorrow I'm taking my first CLEP test - Principles of Marketing and I am extremely confident of the score I can achieve. Thanks to IC and the various other testing websites out there.
I'm not going anywhere for a while since I am just starting on test 1 of my 5 necessary tests to achieve my AS - Business from Excelsior, but just wanted to check in and tell everybody what a great help this forum has been as I continue my journey to getting my Bachelors degree.
You guys are the BEST!

Have you taken TESC English 102? |

Has anyone actually taken the TESC English 102 course? I usually see advice to take the Tech Writing DSST in its place. If you have taken it, what is it really like?
I'm starting out, but interested in moving on to a master's degree, which requires a lot of writing. I've never written a term paper, never written a formal essay or research paper. I will have to take at least six TESC courses, which I hear are heavy on writing.
BUT...
I think I'm a "decent" writer. I can learn MLA formatting no problem. I recently wrote a 26-page project justification and requirements document at work to try to convince leadership to merge two computer systems. I know that's not a "research" essay, but point is I can write a long document.
Is this a course worth taking? My gut says "suck it up now for long-term gain", but it also revolts at 12 weeks of "revise this paragraph" and the like.
Thanks!

Anyone know where I can get upper level English credits cheap? I guess I need 18 of them for this degree, right?
If anyone knows of a cheaper BA English degree than TESC plz let me know. I have general ed credits done I can transfer.
I'm also curious if anyone has got a second degree from TESC? If I got another degree first, like maybe one in business administration could I use some of those credits to get the BA in English? I read in the catalog you have to do 30 new credits but I didn't really understand the part that said this:
course work used to fulfill requirements for a previous associate degree major or any other undergraduate, advanced or professional degree may not be used to fulfill requirement for a second associate degree option or a second bachelor's degree area of study.
Does that mean just area of concentration credits or all credits even general ed?

Meningitis shot... |

I thought I had all my shots taken care of...but today someone from my grad school told me I didn't get my meningitis shot. So I called my doctor and scheduled an appointment for Tuesday at 2:30. I'm really scared and I hate shots... how long does it hurt for? I remember I took a shot when I was 12 (I don't remember which shot) but it hurt for like a week after and I couldn't move my arm. I hope this one won't be so bad. My doctor also told me I was missing a booster shot but I told her I'll take it another time.

DSST Intro Business |

So, how hard is the DSST Introduction to Business test? I'm thinking of taking it next Tuesday, but I haven't studied in the least. I checked Petersons but they don't have any practice tests. Are there any resources that would be helpful in preparing me for this one?
I'm really not sweating it because it seems like it will be easy, but I don't want to flunk it.
