Just attempted to look up info for a test question on my phone and was denied access.. based on the fact access is denied well before the protest i find it pretty absurd due to the higher amount of money Yano charged vs other classes ... Rising star for example who actually gave ops orders to its students ...

Does anyone have any recommendations what would be the most inexpensive and quickest way to get college credits. I currently have 82 credits and am thinking about Aspen university. I need 14 more just in case I passed.

Are the research questions pre-selected before the test? Does DCAS have the ability to choose the questions post test to determine size of a list?

Although it's too Late for us , the sure fire way to be sure this never happens again is by embarrassing the job. This test should be brought to light. However, the public will only see that the "front line" supervisors can only manage at best , high 70s on an exam. Now although we know this is no...

It has been almost one week now and the protest session seems months if not years away. I studied 4 to 6 hours a day losing valuable time with both of my children.

studies show that highlighters help in scoring better in certain tests thatn people that don't use it . Many schoops were not able to use highlighters. In my schoil they allowed it . We can fight that as well -- Edited by collars4dollars on Wednesday 22nd of April 2015 06:25:04 PM

It all comes down to the research questions---everything. we may b...
