So I'm trying to close out my last semester at TESC and qualify for my BA (I want to submit application by next week - the deadline for June graduation), but I'm considering a BGB (Business: General) at Excelsior so I decided to make my last exam the ECE Ogranizational Behavior. That exam counts as upper level whereas the DANTES version does not (according to EC).
Ok, so I prepped like a madman for today's ECE, showed up early, and proceeded to screw the exam! I as so upset because I'm only 2 classes away from graduation, this meant I wouldn't graduate on time, plus this ECE exam cost $230!!!! (oh, plus the $60 for the practice tests - total spent on this exam is $290).
So I hit the road to go home when I realized that it was only 2:30pm... my normal testing center was open till 8pm. I flipped around, headed south for the 1 hour trip to Trenton, and called the testing center to schedule an exam on the way!
Long story short.... I took and passed the DANTES version of the same test! Now I was flying high.... so excited that I decided to try something crazy... I told the proctor that I wanted to take another test. She asked me which one, but the fact is that I was not prepared for any other tests. I made a quick call to my advisor, confirmed what I needed, and sat down to take TECHNICAL WRITING.
I cannot believe I challenged and exam without even 1 second of study... AND PASSED IT!!
Done and done..... One of the proudest days of my life - I have completely qualified for my college degree
