If you had to eliminate two of the following...

[MagicATC]

OK, here's my choices for the rest of my degree. I need to only take 7 tests to finish my degree but 9 listed. Which two would you not take? I am also open to other tests that I haven't listed but these are the approved ones for me already from ECE. I can only use 3 applied professional. Thanks for any ideas!

Drug and Alcohol Abuse
Money and Banking
Organizational Behavior
Abnormal Psychology
Research Methods in Psychology
Ethics Theory and Practice
Phychology of Adulthood and Aging
Civil War and Reconstruction
Rise and fall Soviet Union

The obvious one to eliminate would be Money and Banking unless you're really into that. Drug and alcohol abuse is one of the easist exams; ethics, all of the psych exams and to a certain extent org behavior will feed on eachother like mad (lots of similar study material).....sooo for the second elimated exam I would suggest one of the two history ones. I took Civil War and it was one of the hardest I've taken, but it's straight forward memory and study.

Sooo....don't take Money and Banking and either Civil War, or Soviet Union

Question 1: How many UPPER level do you need?

Question 2: Do you need any of these classes to complete a sequence?

Question 3: Is that 3 classes or 3 credits towards applied professional?

Question 4: Depending on your answer to #3, have you considered FEMA credits?

Hi MagicATC,

If money is an issue, the obvious choice would be to eliminate two of the ECE exams.

If money is not an issue, I would eliminate DANTES Money & Banking, and one of the DANTES history exams. Of course, it all depends on what your own preferences are, which type of exam you prefer, and whether or not you are good at memorizing large amounts of facts (Eg, for the history exams).

Personally, of the two DANTES history exams you listed, I think Soviet Union was slightly easier. So, if forced to choose, I would lean towards eliminating Civil War. Both exams are doable though, and IC has material for each of them.

If you don't need all 7 exams to be upper level credit, you could substitute DANTES Ethics and DANTES Organizational Behavior, for the ECE versions of the same.

Hope that helps,

I would eliminate Money and Banking, because everybody says it is a horror show.

I also agree on chunking one of the history tests, but I would discard the Soviet Union test. Comparing it to the Civil War test, you have got about 100 years of history to learn in S.U. compared to about 5 in the civil war.

There is a lot more audio visual material available for the civil war, as well.

To answer your questions:
1. I need 21 UL credits
2. It doesn't matter, I just need the credits to graduate.
3. I meant to say 3 credits, my military(which is great for all free tests!) fulfilled all the rest of the UL applied professional
4. I do not know too much about FEMA for UL credits. It might be easier to just knock out Drug and Alcohol the the three credit applied Pro.


Thanks for all the feedback. That fema might come in handy for my last 2 LL credits though. great idea!

have only taken one other dantes and it was the drug and alcohol. I was the only one who studied using instant cert and finished before anyone else and scored better also. I think it would be easier if you have a health related background ( I am an RN), but overall, i would recommend the Drug and Alcohol as pretty doable. Good luck.

Thanks, I will make Drug and Alcohol my first UL. I also just found out today my testing center has some computer based DANTES and that is one of them. I should get my results right away!
