Principles of Finance DSST or Penn Foster? - MRHTOAD76 - 02-14-2012
Just wanted to get an upstate to see if anyone has taken this recently through Penn Foster. I remember reading something before about them losing Ace or renewing ACE for some of their classes. Trying to decide if I should do the DSST or through PF ,but would hate to choose PF and then find out it wouldn't work for my BSBA CIS at TESC. I've got the Financial Management (Barron's Business Library) book coming so any other recommendations would be appreciated. Will check IC Cards also when I'm closer to testing.
I saw this post around July 2011 and just wanted to double check.

I think PF is a great option. There was an issue about PF and the renewal of their ACE recommendations but they renewed most of them and added new ones. The PennFoster finance class was renewed and as far as I know people are still taking it for credit at TESC.
It is a pretty straightforward course has some difficulties yes but it should not stop you from being done within a month.
