Hello all,

I have a question about getting a degree mostly through CLEP/Dantes tests.

Is it difficult to find the readings to study for the tests?

Programs such as College Plus have students taking a CLEP test every 4 weeks. Do you really feel that you know the subject matter?

If you aren't very good at being a self starter, would you recommend instead, just taking the class through a community college where the book list and readings are scheduled out for you?

Do you miss the learning through discussion?

It seems like I would get the basics of a topic, but I might miss out on topics that aren't covered by tests. That there might not be room for exploration. Is that the case?

What sorts of jobs have people gone on to after securing a degree this way?

Is it lonesome? Do you go stir-crazy?

If you've done College Plus, what are the 5 things you wish you'd known before you'd started?

If you've done College Plus, what are the 5 things you would have done differently?

What recommendations do you have to research this? I'm new and need to understand more.
