By the way, I am curious because I know many people have earn the majority of their credits through exams. Has anyone earned the 120 need for a degree?
Yes, for my second bachelor's. All by testing. For my first bachelor's, 115 of the 120 credits I used towards the degree were by testing. What I would do is take a 2- or 3-credit class, then take exams for much more credit, applying them instead of the coursework. For example, I too a 3-credit marketing class, then took the level-2 ACT-PEP Marketing Management Exam, which was worth a total of 12 credits. I took two management classes and then earned 15 by testing. Sometimes I would just take exams to see if I could pass them. For example, I took the GRE Advanced test in Sociology, got the 39 credits, then applied for the second bachelor's degree.
CLEP = 69 SS & Hist, Math, Eng Comp, Nat Science, Humanities, Am Gov, US Hist 2, Ana & Int Lit, Info Sys & Comp App, Sociology, Business Law, Accounting, Management, Marketing, Macroecon, and Microecon. DSST = 18 Statistics, Anthropology, Finance, Business Law 2, Money & Banking, and Management Info Sys, GRE = 30 GRE subject test in Psychology. Total = 117 Tony
General CLEP: 3 = 18 credits Subject CLEP: 16 = 54 credits ECE: 7 = 21 credits DSST: 6 = 18 credits TESC 2 = 6 credits -------------------------------------- 117 credits completed 1 ECE scheduled at the end of this month: 6 credits This will complete my BA Psych from Excelsior with 100% of 123 credits earned via testing. Notes: I also took the college math General CLEP, but I can't count it toward my degree due to having too many math credits lower than calculus. I took a fairly large number of tests before I officially enrolled at Excelsior, so not getting credit on only a single test due to a technicality wasn't too bad. No BA in 4 weeks here, but I would have completed everything within a year if I hadn't taken a demanding job around month 10 and ended up on the 2.5 year plan with only 9 credits remaining.
I feel like a piker! lessee...... 6 for accounting (Clep) 3 for manglement (Clep) 3 for 'puters (CLEP) 6 for Economics (Clep) Russ
