I'm thinking about switching to Excelsior

[johnysc430]

Hello everyone,

I'm enrolled at Empire State College. I have to say I'm very unhappy with the mentor that they assigned to me. He's not helpful at all. I ask him questions and he gives me very vague answers. He made me type up all the CLEP and Excelsior exams I was planning to take. He told me to e-mail him the list. When I sent it to him, he asked "what is this?" I told him this is what you told me to send you. He goes ohh, I don't need that.

That's not the first time he did this. When I was doing the degree planning he made me do a bunch of BS that had nothing to do with the class.

I'm really glad I found this site and I will be registering with instantcertonline.com in the next few days.

The main drawback with Excelsior with me is, I have several professional licenses. Series 7,24,63, Real Estate Brokers License,NY life and health insurance licenses. Empire state College gives credit for these. I'm not sure if Excelsior does.


I'm not looking for a degree in any particular area. I have 16 credits I can transfer over. I'm looking for the easiest,fastest possible degree program.
What would you guys suggest? This is just to fulfill the American Bar Associations requirement.


I went to a H.S. that was a similar format to CLEP and Dantes. They gave me a book made me study and I took exams for my grades. I'm Proficient in this format. I could probably do an exam a week. I have a lot of free time to study.

How long does it take to schedule these exams? Do you know of any good testing sites in Long Island NY that are computer based?

I'm sure I'll have a million questions in the future.

Thanks in Advance =)
