Hi All - Newbie Here. Question abt ECE/Dantes Human Resources
Hi everyone,
I'm brand new to this forum and consider myself very lucky to have stumbled across it during my CLEP study searches. I have only taken 1 CLEP so far (Eng w/Essay) and passed with a 60. I'm taking Princ of Mgnt this Thursday and Princ of Supervision next week. If only all the tests paired up as nicely as those two. Ha! I was wondering if you experienced folks had opinions about the ECE Human Resources test vs the Dantes version. It seems to me that taking the ECE might be better simply to get upper level credit for slightly more money. I should note that I have been accepted to TESC and am toying with idea of applying to Excelsior also. As far as program goes, I am deciding between Business and Liberal Arts (which just seems like an easier way to go for me personally). I have more general interests in Liberal Arts but think that a business degree probably have more "standing" in the general working world. Thanks for any help. Also, wanted to mention that this forum is amazing from the standpoint that, not only are the people here supportive and motivating, but everyone is so willing to share information. Ususally you will find groups with 1 or the other qualities - not both. Best wishes to all, Kelly

Hello Kelly - Welcome!!
You may want to look through the "specific exam feedback" section for some info on those exams. As for your school choice, all I can say is - Go E.C. Globes!!!  Good Luck!!

Welcome to the club! In general, there are less options from which to choose for upper-level exams--particular for business credit--so ECE HRM is valuable for that. I found the ECE tests--particular HRM and Org Beh to be more like true final exams. You can click on the links in my signature to check out my thoughts in general. So, I would suggest that if your GPA is most important, the DSST is likely easier to score an A. If you need upper level credit, the ECE HRM is a good one to take--particularly if you have any experience in the area. Of course, you could always study a little extra and get the best of both worlds. In any event, I'm glad you're enjoying the forum and hope you're able to stick around and be part of it all.
