Wow that is a great score! Congratulations! You are one more step closer!

Thanks! Today was a good day with a few exceptions. I registered for my ECE Cultural Diversity test and was told I have to wait 3 business days before I can call Pearson to schedule the exam. Then as I was searching the forums for people's experiences with Pearson I ran across several stories of really long waits to schedule the exam (from 1-3 months!!). I simply cannot wait this long to take the exam because it will push me past the dates for graduation in June which is April 1st (this date has always been my focal point). My solution is to call them as soon as Excelsior sends my info in and let them know that I'm willing to be placed on a "no show" list and if someone doesn't show up I'll rush over and take the test right then.

My second problem is worse than the above one because I'm not sure I have a solution. I've taken all my Penn Foster exams and I faxed my proctor form today. I spoke to Mary Beth (who is awesome BTW) and she said it takes about a week to approve the proctor, and a week to get the exam to the proctor. Then I start realizing that it will take a few days to mail the test back, a week to grade the test (according to tthis forum), a few days for the transcripts to get to ACE, a few days for ACE to transcript the course, a few days for ACE to mail off the transcripts to TESC, then God knows how long it will take TESC to evaluate the credit.

This is well beyond my safe zone for graduating in June (remember the April 1st deadline). I'm going to call Mary Beth tomorrow and beg and plead that Penn Foster allow me to pay for overnighting the test to my proctor (who is available anytime to give the exam), then pay to have the test overnighted back to Penn Foster. I'm hoping that by pleading my case they will try and expedite the process. Penn Foster is essentially my last course for my degree and a required one from TESC. Mary Beth is a very nice individual and has always been very nice and helpful on the phone. I hope it's possible because I'm really worried about this one. Honestly I'll pay to overnight this course every step of the way to get this done. :willynilly:
