I’m also considering shopping my credits around to local 4 yr state colleges and see what they require me to complete a degree with them. Just a thought! Let me know what everyone thinks!
IMHO - definately go for that CLEP Analyzing and Interpreting Literature -- it's a pretty easy 6 hours. Freshman Comp and English Comp are going to be duplicative and neither meets Excelsior's written English requirement. Still worth taking though if you want something for somewhere else. Especially so if you have access to cheap or free testing. About the B&M 4-years; most will limit the number of hours they will accept from CLEP/DANTES/non-trad. and you already exceed the limit established by many. You may already have 90% or more of an AA/ASc at one of the big three. Not only would that make for a nice intermediate goal -- some B&M 4-years wll accept the entirety of an AA (even if it was tested out of like Excelsior) while at the same time will limit CLEP/DANTES transfer to 30 hours. If that's the case with on you get interested in -- it saves you 30 hours...
Analyzing and Interpreting Literature is 6 more credits in the bank! Take this next. Humanities was not all too easy since it covers a broad area. Although it is worth 6 credits, so you want to take a shot at it. For the Humanities exam, make sure you get Cracking the Clep Book, the Official Study Guide (sample questions for all 35 CLEP exams) and check out REA's The Best Review for the CLEP. I haven't taking any of the others you've listed. The Best Review book covers 5 subjects: English Comp (Excelsior College will not accept this) Humanities, Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences & History. I believe these are all worth 6 credits each.
