Math is something I try to avoid. Statistics is something I pretend doesn't exist. I need to take a stats class that is an easy pass, and the class has to come from a regionally accredited CC or university to boot. It can not be pass/fail.
Any leads out there on something like this?
1. Prep Phase: Hopeless, 15 credits, need a BA fast, never heard of TESU
2. TESU BALS: 121/120 (9 months)
3. RN Paramedic Bridge - Excelsior (9 months + CPNE wait)
4. WGU RN -> BSN
5. BSN -> MSN/FNP

I can't think of anything that is in the "gimme" category. I'm assuming this is for a prereq instead of just undergrad credit.
I understand why SL or similar won't work via ACE, but what about DSST? It's more widely accepted than ACE credit. It is pass/fail, but that's what I ended up using for my grad school prereq. Does a pass/fail count down or against you in some way in the application cycle, or are you being proactive?

I have heard that the 8 week version through iowacconline just uses the Pearson software for quizzes that you can redo as many times as needed to get a good score during the week it is due. I didn’t take it, though. So secondhand info. Also, not self paced. But maybe worth looking into.

It was a bit of a dig but the course number for Statistics is MAT-156 -

Your standard 100-level statistics class just requires arithmetic or at most some algebra. Don't be petrified.

I could only find a syllabus for the 16 week version:
https://www.myiccoc.com/courses/9697
Looks like ~40% of the grade is a gimme if you keep trying. And if you can manage 88% or so within 3 attempts of open book tests, you can be excused from the final.
Same software used in this class, but self paced. Says no proctored exams.

This does not answer your question, but the $49 Ashford/Sophia Foundations of Statistics does come into TESU as an ungraded 2-credit STA-201.
