Need 7 Upper Level Liberal Arts Exams (21 units) - web1b - 01-25-2007
I need 21 upper level Arts and Sciences units to complete a BS in Liberal Arts at Excelsior college.
I'm thinking of using the ECE exams below to complete my degree:
world population
psychology of adulthood and aging
foundations of gerontology
juvenile delinquency
social psychology
organizational behavior
religions of the world
Are there better choices for quick preparation? I do not have a management background, so I'm not sure I should try the organizational behavior exam. I also found one thread that said the religions of the world exam takes lots of preparation because it is an essay exam.
I haven't found one post from anyone who had anything to say about the juvenile delinquency exam.
I also noticed that there are any not instant cert prep guides available that are designed for ECE exams.
Excelsior only has practice exams or guided study packages for three of the exam choices above (Abnormal Psychology, Foundations of Gerontology and Organizational Behavior.)
Any recommendations?

[SIZE="2"][COLOR="Navy"]How about some U/L DANTES exams, they are much CHEAPER!!
Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union
The Civil War and Reconstruction
Drug and Alcohol Abuse
Principles of Finance
Business Law II
Money and Banking
Management Information Systems
These are ALL UPPER LEVEL and 3 credits each; choose any three and your're done!

Only courses that are considered Humanities, Natural Science, Social Science etc. are going to count for me and I also have to meet the depth requirement, so my choices are limited.
I cannot use any "free electives" or any courses that do not specifically meet Excelsior's definition of arts and sciences or do not count towards depth requirements.

OK, I'll see about getting course approval for those exams.
I have already signed up and paid for World Population, so if I use those DANTES exams, my plan will change to:
Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union
The Civil War and Reconstruction
Drug and Alcohol Abuse
World Population
psychology of adulthood and aging
foundations of gerontology
Plus one of the exams below. Which of these would be the best choice?
juvenile delinquency
social psychology
organizational behavior
religions of the world

I have to crank out 21 credits for my UL's as well for my Bachelors (LA) from Excelsior. I just did Management Info Systems and Civil War + Reconstruction and passed both with at least a 55. I also have 3 credits from a management course I passed through the Military.
My education guy is getting ready to retire from the military, and hasn't ordered my ECE exams (sigh) but I am thinking of taking Drug and Alcohol Abuse tommorow. (That sounds funny!)
I am going to schedule some tests at a local AF base for the ECE's. I would like to try that World Conflicts since 1900. I just read the thread and passed their sample test with flying colors.
My ideal take and pass list:
World Conflict:
Social Psychology:
Rise and Fall SU:
World Pop: (How is this one?)
Nice post- Todd

I thought Drug and Alcohol was applied professional credit.

I was under the same impression, but I can't remember where I read it.
