Uexcel: Tips and suggested resources? - Cheeseburrito - 10-05-2018
Hey y'all. I got into the Associate's of Nursing at Excelsior. I have all of my core completed through my BA, but apparently they only allow 25% of core credits through SL/SDC sources. Of the 31 credits, I only got transfer for 12. So I have 19 left that I need to do through CLEP/Uexcel/DSST.
Here are the ones I am considering doing that my advisor has pre-approved:
1. https://www.excelsior.edu/exams/life-span-developmental-psychology
2. https://www.excelsior.edu/exams/anatomy-and-physiology
3. https://www.excelsior.edu/exams/microbiology
CLEP doesn't have any for this group. The only one I think I could do is Math, which I am awaiting approval on from my advisor.
What I'd like to know is - what resources/books/other did you use to prepare for your exams? Were they hard based on your expectations and other tests you've taken in continuing education?
Thank you.

Hey blue, thanks!
You took the psych clep then? I have a lot of experience with psych, perhaps I'll see if I can do this for my lifespan credit.
