7. Excelsior Journals

   BeachieRN84 replied to tommys girl's topic in Excelsior College

   I never did post mine on the Excelsior website because I included a ton of details and even the names of my examiners, and I wasn't sure how that would fly with them (even though there was nothing...

   BeachieRN84 replied to BostonNurse2876's topic in Excelsior College

12. Do you really need a workshop to pass CPNE?

    BeachieRN84 replied to BostonNurse2876's topic in Excelsior College

    Yep it's just one exam for 6 credits. It's pretty much a fancy literacy test. I didn't study for it. I think Loops used the REA book when she took it though. You can check on the College Board website...

    BeachieRN84 replied to BostonNurse2876's topic in Excelsior College

    If you need Humanities take the Analyzing & Interpreting Literature CLEP. Easy easy 6 credits and it's only one exam, so you'd just have to do two exams. I used the REA book for Sociology and...
