need to aquire 15 coll egecredits

I am in need of 15 college credits as fast as possible in order to qualify for a job. Any suggestions? I have no college experience as I have been working since graduating high school. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Take a look at this 2-page thread. It will give ideas about testing out on various subjects using standardized tests. You can try to match up your talents with the subjects. If you're in a *big* hurry, the scheduling of the tests may be difficult, but I don't know of any other means of getting legitimate credits in a short period of time: http://www.degreeinfo.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000224.html

 

The testing center I used many moons ago would allow you to take two CLEP exams per day, and four DANTES exams per day (this seems the norm). If you took two CLEP General exams (6 credits each) one day and four DANTES exams (3 credits each) the next, in theory you could knock off 24 credits in two days.

I have earned 24 credit by using CLEP's and the exams I though were easy are -
General Math (6 cr) study guide - ISBN# 1-56030-120-1
General English (6 cr) study guide - ISBN# 1-56030-001-9
Intro Sociology (3 cr) study guide - ISBN# 0-87891-903-1

You can goto www.collegeboard.com/clep and find the schools in your area that offer CLEP exams. I know one school in FL that offered CLEP exams everyday in the testing center and have every test in stock.

Good Luck.

 

All of the CLEP exams are now computer based, which seems to have led to difficulty getting exams scheduled, at least in my area (San Antonio/Austin, TX). One school I called said that they didn't have any openings until March of next year! Maybe once the schools get more equipment installed it won't be as bad.

The DANTES exams are still pretty easy to get scheduled around here, FWIW.
