    Hi,

    I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and just started my DL adventure! I hope my post will help others trying to start similar programs:

    Context:
    as far as I know is not possible to have CLEP or ECE exams in Brazil. I found a very collaborative ETS site in Rio de Janeiro that accepted to help me with DANTES and that has been validated as a proctor by TESC.

    My strategy is to maximize credits with DANTES and TESC and in parallel try to bring here CLEP. If not possible I will fly to NY to make CLEP exams (plus NYU FL).

    I have been enrolled with TESC in 2001 but did not continued in 2002 and 2003. I will wait to complete about 80 credits in order to enroll just for the final year.

    I took three DANTES on jan 29th 2004 and received results after three weeks.
    - Management Info System 74;
    - Intro to Computing 75;
    - General Anthropology 58

    I have an IT backround so first two tests were easy (2 hrs revising some material available on the net)
    A little more study hours required for General Anthropology since I was not sure about my level of knowledge. ; (16 hrs on a college book)

    Next set of tests at the beginning of March
    - Principle of Supervision
    - Organizational Behaviour
    - Human Resource Management
