2. ISU VS. Excelsior

   Ok I keep reading on here and get more confused. It says you dont have to apply to Excelsior until you get the pre-requs done, is this correct? I have registered and could take NC1 without applying but can I take the pre-reqs too?

   Lunah, thanks for all the information. I appreciate it. One more question. Is the packet I printed off for NC1 going to be enough to pass the test or should I get an additional study guide?

   Thanks Lunah. Do I need to apply and pay the $75 before I can take the NC1 test and the Gen ed tests. I know this seems silly but there is just an overwhelming amount of information both on this board and the excelsior site.

    nursemindy1204 posted a topic in Online Learning

    Ok I think I am confused. I was looking at the excelsior website and it says that a credit is $290, and a class is 4 credits ex Anat. So that would be $1160 plus the $295 to take the test? I am so confused with it all. I am taking the general ed cla...
