ECE (Excelsior Exams) Quickie

Are they really $240 or am I in the wrong place? I thought these were comparable to CLEP's or DSST's but that seems a bit much for one examination. Also do any of you know of any updated promotional codes? Thanks! cheersmate

Yes they really are $240 and some are even more if they are more then 3 credits, or if nursing exams,etc.

At least $240...yes, they are pricey. Good for more specialized degree requirements, but that's about it.

I think the Uexcel are more in line with Dantes/CLEP costs. Is that what you were thinking of?

Check into Uexcel as they are closer the the other charges -- anyway you look at it less than $100.

This is why you see talk from time to time about GRE Subject Exams as a way for some to save money and time to accomplish their Majors with EC and other schools.

I think it's the ECE unless some other place offers Cultural Diversity. On the Excelsior site they have Cultural Diversity as a course and it's required by my program so if someone else offers it I'm all ears.

I thought we were only discussing the fees.

Costs: https://www.excelsior.edu/Excelsior_Coll...rogram.pdf

Page 6 says the cost for ECEs are $240 for 3 credits, $275 for 4 credits, and $345 for 6 credits. Based on this the 6 credits are the best buy.

Remember what a face-to-face course costs plus the time you will need to invest. Since we don't have every subject available through CLEP and DSST, this beats the other alternative.

Doubt this is of any help...but just in case. State schools charge an arm and a leg for nonresidents but good for FLA residents and military.

Thanks I know it's a bit cheaper than taking the course at a B&M school I just wanted to make sure I'm in the right place. I'm wrapping up my courses so taking a class is out of the question right now. At least I have a test center near my house. That makes for an easy trip to take the test. Thanks!
