My Journey: TESU BSBA

[Ideas]

It's been slow getting started because I'm not used to studying for a closed-book exam or exam where you have to write. I also find some of the language to be kind of difficult to read. I haven't tried the textbook yet. I think that language will be easier than the other material which is very condensed. I've done a little over a day of studying, and I feel I have a good overview of Strategic Mgmt now. I also have a good study plan for the next 12 days overall, I am just worried about having the patience to create flashcards, but I will do my best. I know that there are flashcards I can use, but a good part of the benefit is making them. I hope to feel more confident tomorrow.

I learned more about Saylor and study.com. I'm disappointed to hear that Saylor exams have some errors. I am especially concerned because one thread where the guy (poster's husband) was able to pass the similar-topic DSSTs with no studying, but failed the Saylor. It doesn't sound fun. I guess I have to try them anyway, to save the money, but the feeling of failure will suck. I wish I didn't have to go through Saylor or that they would get rid of errors. Retakes may be a difficult decision. I wish that there were better coupons for SL again.

Edit: I'm worried that Saylor could slow me down and make me miss the Dec graduation.

I may try to do study.com Personal Finance all in one day, and may try to take the easy Computer Saylor without studying. I know 2/3 of the Personal Finance material already.

TO DO LIST - THURSDAY 4/20
Feedback is welcome! (I will edit this if anything changes in the next 24 hours. Then I sometimes delete and repost. Can't edit after 24 hours.)

This week (April 16-22):
- Spend many hours reading, making flashcards, and prepping for Strategic Mgmt TECEP

Next week (April 23-29):
- Schedule study.com Personal Finance exam and Saylor Computer Concepts and Applications for about May 9th. Try to get both exams back to back by scheduling far in advance. Schedule room.
- Immediately after Personal Finance exam (or before, if allowed), schedule my study.com Public Speaking exam. Try to get it back to back with another Saylor exam (Principles of Mgmt or Business Communication). These need to be complete by May 13th and that's a Saturday which is harder to schedule. Schedule room.

Week of April 30-May 6:
- On May 1st, schedule Strategic Mgmt TECEP at ProctorU and schedule room. Probably take May 2nd.
- Waiting on TESU evaluation of AP credits, mostly for Biology. (Doubtful, but see if Saylor BIO101B would count.)

May 7-13:
- Take the first pair of study.com & Saylor exams. Do my online speeches and take the second pair of exams.
- Schedule room and proctor for my next 2 study.com exam credits by about June 12th. Reminding myself of Study.com courses I plan to do: Personal Finance, Principles of Finance, Public Speaking. 3 bio courses? I should still consider some Psych courses because of them being LL anyway. Before using the slots for the bio courses.

After May 13:
- Schedule room and proctor for my final 2 study.com credits by about July 12th?
- Make a spreadsheet.
- Biology II Lab is the most difficult to meet, start early in case I need to catch enrollment date for 12 week course.
- Get answers to my final questions on the Gen Eds.
- Order ACE transcript. I believe there's no rush since we already know what TESU credits for Shmoop, ALEKS, etc.

Other Exams/Courses I need to do:
- Gen Eds: Saylor Intro to Comparative Politics, Study.com Public Speaking, and CLEP A&I Lit.
- BSBA-CIS core: 11 business exams and 6 CIS exams listed earlier in the thread.
- ASNSM-Biology core: 4 exams. Study.com Genetics, Pathophysiology, A&P. SL A&P II.
