I am on the mad rush to get the last credits for my BA in Psych completed and in to TESC by April 1 for the June 1 graduation. I thought I would have time to squeeze in some accelerated LSU courses or Ohio U or even Rio Salado. I have finally just decided to do what I have to do and take most of the exams via TECEP. When there is the CLEP or DSST option, I will do that first and see how it goes and then do the TECEP. I have confirmed that I have time to get them all done and back to TESC before April 1 since they are all scantron exams and no essays.
I am taking Human Growth & D tomorrow as a CLEP. There is no way I will not pass it b/c I have been studying way too much for it. I got every question on 2 of the Peterson test right yesterday. Granted I had already taken the test and had used it to study but I feel confident that I am more than ready.
Educational Psych would seem the logical CLEP to take next and I am ready for that one too.
What order do you suggest any of the next exams? I only need another six but am totally open to suggestions on what to take and what to skip. I have all of the exam specific notes printed out too and have access to all of the books at our library. I searched for every book for every test and our library has them all. Also I confirmed with TESC that I can take more than 2 a month and have made arrangements to take them all by the beginning of March. ( I received an email from someone there advising that I could only take 2 a month, but that is not correct).
Social Psych - TECEP. Excelsior also has an exam.
Experimental Psych - TECEP --- Excelsior also has an exam.
Psychology of Personality - TECEP
Thanatology - TECEP
Alcohol Abuse -- TECEP -- I will give the DSST a try first
Substance Abuse -- TECEP -- I will give the DSST a try first.
( I have to clarify which of these TESC will give credit for...both?)
Behavior Modification -- TECEP
Intro to Counseling -- TECEP --I will give the DSST a try first
Organizational Behav Psych TECEP -- DSST
Excelsior has a few more tests but I just do not think that I will have time to take a test with another school and be guaranteed that the scores will be to TESC in time. I know that doing a TECEP will cost more but I weighed it out and in the end it will be better to be done and ready to move on to my next adventure - a Masters in Counseling.
Thanks for helping me to keep my head on straight and suggesting the best order to take the exams.
