Computer Info, Management System, or College Math first? - dthom - 08-20-2012

If I were you I'd do college math first. It's really not that tough. Just review the Algebra section of Khan Academy, and if you know that, you're golden.
Computer Info can be passed if you generally know how to use a computer. I noticed though you have Intro to computing in your signature. The DSST and CLEP in this case overlap, so maybe you won't get credit for it. Management information systems is a BIT tougher. As in, tough to get an A on. However I think passing it isn't that hard. If you go to free-clep-prep.com there's a really nice set of study notes someone put together.

That's a good catch - be sure to check with your school about duplication of DSST Intro to Computer and CLEP Info Systems & Computer Applications. It is my understanding that they are duplicate credit at TESC. We recently found out that the newer versions are considered duplicates at EC now. http://www.degreeforum.net/general-education-testing-discussion/16579-intro-computing-information-system-computer-applications.html
I have also taken all 3. It's your choice whether to take math before or after the other two. Definitely study for and take CLEP IS&CA (if it doesn't duplicate the one you have taken) before DSST MIS.

thanks for the information.
i should have specified when i say my associates i mean my CCAF (im active duty)
the tests that i listed are all good for my CCAF. Management and Info Computers will finish the last of my 4 credits in my Technical Field. Math will clearly finish my math requirment.
Ill see about doing that Math first like you stated. Im pretty good with catching onto math, i actually enjoy it.
