Trying to get started with Thomas Edison

[CariBerry]

So I finally just did it. I signed up for Thomas Edison, and I'm planning on doing their Pay Per Credit tuition plan, so I don't have annual enrollment fees and stuff.

I don't have any college credits yet, and I'm trying to figure out where I should start. I'm hoping to get the ASBA using the open source method.

Does anyone know if there is a good course that you can take to replace the two English requirements? Or are the two English TESC tests fairly easy?

I'm also wondering about ALEKS and Straighterline, and how they compare to Saylor/TESC stuff.

Any and all advice is appreciated! Cheapest courses/tests, etc.

I know that I posted it on a different thread, but it was a while ago, so here is what I have typed up, and I'm totally willing to change it or modify it as I find things that work better. I'm sure I won't be doing this exact plan anyhow, but I thought I'd post it so there's some sort of reference within this thread to what I'm talking about.
