That would depend entirely on the person, their comprehension level, financial status, allotted budget, and length of time to reach their graduation goal.

I have spent $70....total, for 51 hours of school in the last 6 months. That was for an English class I took on base (see other posts). The rest of the tests were completed with IC ($20 X 6 months=$120.00), free internet resources, and a few books from the library. I am able to grasp the IC guide's information and convert it into passed tests, some people don't like IC and the process doesn't work for them.

There are some on this forum who like to get as many resources as possible and study for 2-3 weeks per test, this works for them and they usually have very high GPAs as well.

Then finally we have the ones who simply rather go to a brick and mortar class because they feel they are learning more.

It is an individual feeling out process. It all depends on what works for you, how much time you want to spend preparing for each test, and how much money you can allot. In the end, it all comes down to how much that passed test is worth to you.

I know, not the answer you were looking for. Hope it helped some though. Lee
