Today I Took My Last Exam For My College Degree.

About three months ago I made a post stating that I was going to pursue my college education. I am 37 years old and have been working in a trade since I was 17. Well, that trade career is ending and I am moving onto the next chapter of my life. I thought having a degree might be a nice thing to have now that I am not going to be in my entrenched position of the last 20 years. I had stated that I planned to take: Analyzing and Interpreting Literature College Composition Principles of Statistics & one Social Sciences (probably Human/Cultural Geography or Intro to Microeconomics) The only change was in the social sciences category. I had taken a few practice tests "blind" and Intro to Sociology was the one I tested highest on, so I took that instead. ![CLEP.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPRtK22rBkpxqSz4SYK8mJwNrrkVje2Wm4EbEFAkcyXkZ/CLEP.png) ![DSST.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbGK9fXKooGx4quXGmVNZqu8bXTVjBREHUWdBUsUcNDoV/DSST.png)

Scoring

CLEP tests are scored from 20-80 with a 50 or higher being a pass. DSST tests are mainly scored from 200-500 with a 400 being a pass. As you might see, my score for the DSST 'Principles of Statistics' was 418. A pass, but it was hard won. I felt drained after the 2-hour test as I used every last second to complete it.

It's Done

Still, I passed all of the tests I needed and an applied associates degree in Aviation Maintenance Technology is coming my way once all the paperwork is processed. That's done, but I am not. I can test for free until the end of February and I intend to test out of a number of classes. I have quite a few on my radar as I plan to change gears and work towards obtaining a degree in business and/or finance. Anyways, as I was focused on studying, this is why I have been quiet here.
