    Hi folks ,
    I'm seeking your feedback , how to utilise these exams to fill up maxium credits towards associates degree and bachelors requirement .

    I do know different major/concentration require different courses. Having said that but I still would like to use these kind of exams to maximized my credits and less time going to school rather just filling the requirements through these kind of exams !


    Straighterline is a good start as if offers many course ware. but I am really un aware with other exams or atlernatives to earn credit towards Associate or Bachelors.


    Please share your input point wise and with your experience !

    Thanking you !

    Smarter P -

    Others have asked these questions before.

    I would start with the "home" tab, and read through that material. Have you completed any courses elsewhere? If so, the big three aggregators may be of help to you.

    The big three are:
    Thomas Edison State College (TESC)
    Excelsior
    Charter Oak State College (COSC)

    Using any one of the Big Three, you can get an assessment of what it would take to earn an associate's degree or a bachelors degree. Some of your training that you received from work may be of use.

    It would help if you know what degree program you would like (accounting, criminal justice, etc). If you are not sure, one of the Big Three schools has a general studies program.

    Start with a plan!

    well I have started of with Straighterline ACE credits....

    Then I will enroll into Charter Oak State college to get an Associate in concentration of Engineering Studies.

    Later, I will enroll into University of North Dakota which they accept ACE credits as well and they require only 30 credits to graduate from their university.

    Please share your input. So I can use this alternatives to complete my degree fast.

    Thanks !

    It looks like you already have a very good plan! Make sure that COSC will accept straighterline. I do not know about the other testing alternatives that you mentioned, but here is a link or two about them:

    The BBS system hangs up as if you did not post at all. When it finally unsticks, you end up with two posts. Feel free to delete one....

    Charter Oak definitely takes SL...assigns a letter grade for it too.
