Hi all, I'm looking for some info on the French CLEP, since I have been told not to CLEP out of any literature classes for my AA program if I hope to get into the BA in English program that I have my eye on. I took 3 years of French in high school, but nothing since then and that was over a decade ago.

I have looked through old threads and found mention of Pimsleur and Rosetta Stone. Does anyone have any other recommendations for helpful resources for this CLEP? My school will award 8 credits and I have to get a score of 50.

The website below was also recommended somewhere. If anyone has tried this course before can you tell me if you need the workbooks and textbook? Was it worth the cost?

Resource: French in Action

Thanks all!!!

Getting ready for my first Dantes exam (Intro to MIS) and wondering if when you sit for the exam you can specify what school you want the score sent to (like what CLEP does)? Thanks…

So, how do CLEP exams stack up as to difficulty? It is hard to say with precision because College Board and Dantes do not publish their overall pass rates, but the military posts their pass rates online. Military testers can take CLEP or DSST (Dantes) exams for free which could influence their choice to take an exam “cold” or without a lot of preparation. That being said, here are the military pass rates, arranged easiest to most difficult.

The best way to make an exam easy is to work hard, use the best materials available and study for exams that interest you. And a sure fire edge is being a member of InstantCert.

More later on what makes an exam easy.

Thinking about splitting $20 with a friend or two. WIll we be able to study for more than one test? You may be wondering why? Im really broke. Im working two jobs - one that pays 100% to my school account and another unpaid internship. Im trying to CLEP out of Principles of Managment and Principles of Marketing this month.

Please bear with me as I am new to this. I read that TESC changed some of their requirements I was wondering if you needed upper level credits for a BA in History. I think this is something I would love to pursue and it really helps with time constrants being a new father of twins. Also I have about 35-40 credits from two 4 year colleges depending on how they accept my quarter hour credits would it be best for me to go ahead and apply since I have a pretty general idea for the clep exams I plan to take or should I wait until I take some exams? Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated from anybody with prior experience! THANKS!

By that I mean like the REA books that are the latest editions available but I've completed the exams they go with. I was thinking of selling them as I finish each exam on eBay. Anyone have any good ideas on what else to do with them? I kind of got excited when I found this site and bought all the books I need for the CLEPs/DSSTs I want to take but most of the books I'm not going to want when I finish the exams. Thanks.

Could anyone tell me if this DSST is considered science course for TESC? If anyone knows or can tell me where to find on TESC site where a list of what these tests will be considered as (science, math, history, social studies, etc.), I would very much appreciate it. I am looking for some additional science course credit for my son for TESC.

Found this today. I have not searched it thoroughly but a search on "computing" gave me lots of possibilities.
