CLEP and DSST exams award a passing score for somewhere around the 50% mark but cost about $100 all in.
Straighterline requires more than 1 exam, but the bar is very low.  Open book and in most classes, you can score a 0% on your proctored final and still pass.  No cheaper than $150 though.

How can I book Saylor exam?

This is an old thread, and Saylor's exam policies have changed a bit. You now have to use the proctoring ($25) but it is via webcam - so still at home. You should see the "schedule" button from inside your class. Have you started your class yet? That's step 1. There is no cost for the classes at all, totally free! Good luck!
