Test Help - RG2BFREE - 06-21-2006

Hello All,

I just want to let everyone know how great this forum is. I have been a member to the IC site for a little over a year now. I wishe I would have known about it sooner. I have used IC to pass almost all my exams along with Petersons. The best advice I can give is to take full advantage of both sites!!!!!!!!
Okay the formula I used for taking these test is simple, I used the IC sight and registered free for the petersons site. Important I took every test they offered on the petersons site. I clicked "E" for the answer to all of them then went in and reviewed the test, when you do this it will let you copy them into a word document, I did this and arranged the questions in the % of the material covered. Each subject has 3 practice test so your looking at 300 plus questions and IC combined has been the BOMB!!!! After I study them I go back and register again and take the test to see what I score if I can crack a 70 I take the test. I downloaded the DSST book from petersons for "FREE" read about each one of the tests they offered to get the basics then hit IC & Petersons. I currently have over 144 hours with no degree...:mad:

Intro to Business: 61 (IC/DSST)
Business Math: 70 (DSST)
Personal Finance: 51(IC/DSST)

I took all 3 exams same day. The DSST book gives good basic foundation!!!! Total study time for these exams 4 days.

Intro to Mgmt: 61
HRM : 59
Principles of Supervision: 68

Again the IC and DSST along with Petersons are the Bomb. Total study time 7 days. At thisa point

Intro to Counseling: 46 I took this the next day witout any study....got lucky!

Heres to your Health: 61(IC)
Drug & Alcohol Abuse: 55(IC)

Take both of these test at the same time or a day apart!!!! I can't say enough about how important it is to use the IC. Total study time 7 days.

Ethics: 55 (IC)
Speech: 59 No Study used my military background

Org Behavior: 68 (IC/DSST) Total study time 4 days Upper level

Intro to Soc: 59 (IC/Petersons) the petersons came in real handy for this exam. Total Study Time 7 days

College Math: 45 (FAILED) total study time 1 month only class I need for the AA, what a bummer. My 6 month probation is up so I am going to order it again.

Waiting for Human Growth, Intro to Psy, and Ed Psy.

RG2BFREE,

Welcome to the board. Thank you for your feedback on the various exams you have taken. A great first post.

Why are you going for an Associate's degree if you already have 144 credits? Surely you could fit the majority of your credits into a BS Liberal arts degree from Excelsior College by now?

I'm sure you have your reasons, but I bet you could apply a ton of those credits toward a Bachelor's if you wanted to.

Aim high!
hilarious

It's great to have you on-BOARD,
Snazzlefrag
