Excelsior requires Managerial Accounting for a Business Degree, but I can't find any CLEP or DSST tests for this. Is there going to be a new test any time in the next six months? If not, what's the easiest alternative (no class)?

I wouldn't expect any exam to appear in that time frame. I took the Penn Foster College course, which culminates in a proctored exam. It is self-paced, and can be completed rather quickly, but it is a serious and rigorous course. The final proctored exam is open-book, but it's written-answer, not multiple choice, and the time limit makes it quite a challenge. The course is very reasonably priced, and the course fee includes the textbook and workbook.
You can also take a Managerial Accounting course at your local community college, but that is less likely to have as flexible a schedule as the Penn Foster College course.

There's no ECE, DSST, CLEP, DANTES or TECEP for this course that I'm aware of.
There is one other similar option from Ohio University, though:
Ohio University Course Credit by Examination
I'm thinking about taking that route for Management Accounting, but using the Demystified series book alongside whatever recommended texts from OU.

i would tell other people to take the course i did... it was simply a message board like this... i bought the book off of Half.com for like $3 dollars (old version). there was one report, a midterm (with a curve) and a final. you need to find a proctor for the exams though.. (u can use a library, school, or a military base
