    Your question doesn't make sense. Are you asking if there are any other testing programs? Yes, DANTES, AP GRE subject and others. Check with COSC to see what they accept.

    Are you asking if there are other schools that accept credits by examination? Yes, thousands.

    I'm looking for RA schools that offer courses that can be completed by passing an exam.

    UNC had a credit by exam program some years back -- http://www.fridaycenter.unc.edu/cp/catalog/courses.html

    all of these can be tested instead of taken.

    Many universities offer credit by departmental exam as a regular order of business.

    The process is that you apply to the chair of the department (or instructor of record) to challenge his course. They establish the requirements (which may include a paper or project or exam or combination) and you get credit for the class as if you had taken it if you pass.

    In most universities this method applies to all classes offered and is a good way to get upper level credit for material you already know.

    Many, if not most colleges and universities will grant credit for taking CLEP, DANTES and other equivalency examinations. For a list of colleges that accept CLEP tests, go to http://apps.collegeboard.com/cbsearch_clep/searchCLEPColleges.jsp

    Please be aware that colleges and universities will award credit at the univergraduate level only.

    As Dr. Piña points out, more than 2,000 RA schools give credit for CLEP (and some other) exams.

    But, as we point out in the 'equivalency exams' chapter of Bears Guide, there is no standard for how much credit is given for each exam; the range is from one to six semester hours, with most schools at the low end.

    Regis University I believe is only one of many that allows you to challenge any class. My understanding is that the process varies from class to class. Sometimes you basically take the final exam and for other classes you are required to do a presentation also.
