Tried a search and couldn't find the answer. The webpage suggests you get graded credit for completing these exams. Do they appear on your transcript as such? Basically looking to get regionally accredited graded credits for Calc I-III and Straighterline doesn't fit that category.

Have you talked with someone in the registrar's office? Or someone who is knowledgeable about CLEP exams and knows whether the university grants credit for these?
Here is a link I found: http://www.ohio.edu/admissions/transcred...07clep.pdf
Granted this is from 2007, but you might want to use this as a starting point when talking with the university. It sounds like you would at least get credit for the CLEP Calculus exam.

For others interested in these exams for credit, here is a link and some great posts:

Also note these are quarter hours, not semester hours.

Do "advantages" numbered 2 and 3 in the second link answer your question?
I have been looking at correspondence courses for Calculus I and II. I am currently leaning toward LSU:

I also noticed that Arkansas, Wyoming, and West Texas A&M offer Calculus I-III:

Please keep us posted on your progress with this.

Yeah, that answers my question. Thanks NAP. I think only counting as 2.67 credits might be problematic. From reading it, it looks like Calc I to IV at OU is equivalent to Calc I-III most other places. If I tested out of all four, I'd end up with 10.67 credits v 9 and probably be done in 4-6 weeks.
I made a spreadsheet of the institutions I found that were offering these and a few other classes and broke them down into cost/ch (cost of proctored exams included).
LSU is cheaper, but the classes can't go any faster than 8 weeks. Arkansas is slightly more expensive, but you can complete each course in 5 weeks.
Cheapest I could find a Discrete Math course was at U of North Dakota. $700 bucks (including the cost of proctored exams) and be done in about 4 weeks.

Does anyone have feedback on the TESC Calculus classes? They are 4 credits each - 12 weeks long, though.
Has anyone heard if they're any good?

I really feel for you guys trying to test out of calculus. That was very difficult for me in school. I got an A in calc I, C in calc II, A in calc III and a C in calc IV/differential equations.
Back in the day we didn't have as many free resources though. I remember paying 25c per page to make copies of the Schaums outline in the library because I couldn't afford the book.
Good luck guys.

Not sure if I have seen it mentioned else where but
Central Texas has Calc I-III and Diff Equations.

Yes, calc is extremely hard. I found Calc 1 the hardest as you are first learning and understanding the material. 1 problem is like 1 full page of writing. Most people say Calc 2 is the hardest and it is hard but i got a better grade than in 1. Calc 1 can have times questioning yourself if you will pass the class. Calc 3 is very easy compared to the other two.
Good luck trying to test out, you should take Calc 1 because the exam will prolly be overwhelming.
