Big 3 evals.

Ok. I won't keep tunnel vision on DETC versus RA versus BIG THREE. However, I would like to know more about testing out dantes/clep. Here is the story. I was all ready given some advice here, some great advice, and all is very much appreciated.

A. Should I submit before anything all my transcripts for an evaluation as to what I have now, or just roll the dice and start dantesing around or clepping?

B. Should I just look into a program and determine myself about what I need for a bachelors and just plug in the courses I can take from clep/dantes? Or should I submit transcripts first and see what path they give me?

Please tell me how I should do this. Also, give me a tip to get started. SOmeone here told me to take a course, and join instantcert online or something like that.

 

Depends on how good a danteser you are. Start dantesing, and see if anybody cleps. If you're good, you might get a spot on "So You Think You Can Dantes!" :jester:

I sent you a PM....you need to find the program you want to follow, then take the proper courses to complete that. TESC gives you everything you need to get started in three pages:
Thomas Edison State College: Online, accredited degrees that can be completed entirely online
CLEP - College-Level Exam Program
DANTES

Find a degree plan you like in the first link, match classes from links 2 and 3. If you still have missing area's find a school to take that coutse cheap like Straighterline Online College Courses - Distance Learning Courses - StraighterLine, University of Idaho Independent Study Find a Course-Independent Study in Idaho-University of Idaho, or LSU LSU Independent and Distance Learning, or any other source that's acceptable (ACE, Penn-Foster, the local CC, etc...)

Excelsior and COSC have similar tools to help you plan it out. This is not rocket science/brain surgery, don't over think it.

Most folks around here don't apply/register till they are nearly complete. It's NOT a roll of the dice, there are plotted and prepared paths that are tried and true.

I sent you some additional links via PM.

 

It sounds like you have received some great information. I don't know anything about the "Big Three," but there is a website dedicated to these schools and has a lot of information regarding Clep, Dantes, etc. The website is CLEP Forum - CLEP Study - CLEP Testing - Study Guide and Strategies Good luck in your search!:smile:

 

Ok, thank you again. Rebel, I read your private message and will take you up on that other link forum you send. I'll be seriously looking into that. Look for me on that forum with the same name, gonna register now. Thanks again. And thank you Julie 1014 too.

 

I think they can do a great job of helping you out with specific questions.

 

OMG, that was absolutely brilliant, and worthy of my own admiration, as a fellow terrible punster.

 

Thanks, Chip. Your comment is appreciated!
