I also shot off an e-mail to EC for a little more info on how things work with testing out. Baby steps I know, but they are in the correct direction.

I wish you well- this is a fun and addicting and productive hobby
Let me suggest that you take a few CLEPs before enrolling- but not applying. Apply- pay the fee and wait. When you sign up for your CLEP you can select your college and the transcript from your CLEP will go automatically to the college. They will record it for you and everything. They allow you (from memory) maybe 6 months before you would have to apply again- so use that 6 months to log your tests for free. At the close of that time, you can decide to enroll. There is no penalty for waiting- and I can't really see a reason to enroll ($) to just be sitting at home testing. (except for the psychological boost of "officially" being in college)
Just my thoughts!!
