A whole year's worth IS NO JOKE! You're 100% correct. The goal isn't (shouldn't be?) to a contest to get most by testing, or the cheapest, or the fastest, or the whatever....it's to know the rules of this game, and maximize them to your advantage to meet your own goals. Great job!! Sounds like you're well on your way!

I'm trying to remember all of the exams I passed:
Abnormal Psychology, Psychology of Adulthood and Aging, Research Methods in Psychology, Substance Abuse, Management Information Systems, Human Resource Management, Organizational Behavior, Social Psychology, Business Ethics and Society

I think that's it. My bachelor's of science is a combination of an original A.A., some free electives from Air Force credits, exams, and two classes (Information Literacy, Capstone).

It's pretty amazing that the majority (as of today) have completed over 91 credits by exam! WOW!

72 so far...with one more planned- Uexel Abnormal Psychology. So a total of 75, equal to a little more than half of my degree.

I've got 6 from AP exams and 3 from a CLEP already on the books, and I'm currently working on both another CLEP and another AP and expect to do at least one more CLEP before college.

You're awesome! Depending on where you go for college, your scores, and the subject, your AP exams might be a little higher or lower than 6! Smile Here is an example of a random college I typed in: https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/credi...ha%2C%20NE but if you go up one level on that webpage you can type in any college to see what they award! Good luck!!
