Basic Questions

[Ruddigore]

Also, can I just take the English Comp with Essay instead of taking the class through Penn Foster? Or can I go to a local college and test out of it?

Not if you're planning on putting it through EC. Excelsior doesn't accept the English CLEPs - with or without Essay. I heard a while back that EC was going to bring back a form of Comp test that would cost as much as a CLEP. I'll have to look into that again (as I'll need to take it to replace the CLEP test I took before I knew I was going to EC).

I'd like to take the College Math test - would that satisfy my math requirment? I don't think that my Elementary Algebra class I took fulfills that. I'm also not sure if I can teach myself what I need to know or not, but Penn Foster charges $90 per unit plus $50 for shipping/proctors fees. That's pricey (I know because I just phoned them).

I believe that it would fulfill your math requirement, unless you're going into a science/math-related degree, which you're not since you're going into Psychology.

Concerning learning College Math, you can do it. It may seem difficult, but IC has good cards for it, and Peterson's CLEP Success book is available online:

The specific exam feedback is also excellent for this test. Good luck!
