Production/Operations Management and Business Policy advice for Excelsior

[ebrizzie]

If you follow the instructions in week 17 at this website it will help a great deal.

Senior Level. Final stretch of upper-level credits


Incidentally this is the same site I stumbled upon years ago to start this journey. Study these subjects in the William J. Stevenson's Operation Management textbook.

Have the text book with the CD enclosed (The CD helped me understand). However it isn't important to know the excel spreadsheets for the exam, however I did learn some valuable excel information that I'm sure I will use later.

InstantCert helped me identify subjects I needed to know more about. I went back to the text on some topics that helped a great deal. Admittedly I didn't use this resource to it's fullest. I completed about 80% of it.

Hind site being 20/20, I would complete the InstantCert flashcards 100% and study the topics in week 17 Operations Mgt from 123collegedegree. Know the CPM expected time and learning curve formulas. The are no heavy statistics formulas on this exam, so don't bother with them in the book.

Yes, it was a hard exam. I got a 57 on it and passed. I had Shirley at Thomas Edison double check what the passing score was. It is 50.

While it is expensive and difficult, I know there are some of you out there who are allergic to classes (Taking Business Policy at Excelsior is taking all of my patience). This test is doable. I got registered 3 weeks before the test. Make sure you call them. (609)985-1181)(Ext 2251) They can drag their feet pushing you out to the next cycle. It took 2 weeks to get my results (I live in CO)

Let me know if you have any questions?
