a Homeschool Information Night featuring a panel of homeschool support group
leaders. The panel will include:
Janice Henry is currently a member of the
Regional Advisory Board of the statewide organization, Christian Home Educators
of California (CHEA). In 1992 she and her husband, Kirk, entered homeschool
leadership, in spite of the fact that they had just begun to homeschool

information about homeschooling, developed into a CHEA Support Group and
Independent Student Program. Â With members in Los Angeles, Orange, and

families homeschool with joy and excellence. Janice's warm yet thought
provoking messages encourage parents to build strong children and youth for the
Kingdom of God through private Christian education in the
home.

Business majors have several core requirements and for most this is one of them. This 3 credit exam is fairly broad as it covers marketing, management, stocks, insurance and types of businesses. It is better to tackle this fact based exam after you have built a vocabulary in the above topics. On the exam you will find all the technical business lingo and a few simple scenarios. That being said, make sure you study for the updated refreshed version and not the one retired in August of 2009. Here are the materials we used to study for the older version, our method and a list of must knows for the exam. The best materials for this exam come from knowledge of marketing, management and business. We used the following:DSST Fact SheetStandard Deviants: Marketing(not the most wholesome material with some adult humor that was unnecessary)InstantCert (A++ for this exam)Our method was based on timing and crossover. My students took and passed CLEP Management and DSST Supervision prior to beginning this topic. Both said those exams prepared them for Business, possibly with no additional study. We took one week to prep for this test since it was being updated and our materials were for the older version. They also studied the Business cards on InstantCert until they were quite familiar with them. Here is what you must know for the older version:TQMMediation and ArbitrationNAFTATypes of BusinessesTypes of CorporationsFunctions of ManagersFranchise SystemForeign TradeTax PolicyTypes of Stocks & BondsInsurance, premiums, deductionComputing and Computer terminologyMarketing, demographic, geographicHere is a link to the new version. Make sure to compare the fact sheets and note the differences. I'll update this post if I hear of better materials for the new version.
