Grand Rapids Community College Challenge Exams - eriehiker - 01-10-2020

Grand Rapids Community College in Michigan has eleven challenge exams for $55 each.  These are in person tests, but that is pretty cheap for multi-credit exams.  Someone could take a road trip and knock out a bunch of credits really cheap.

I wonder if they reflect on a transcript in a transferrable way

These are at College of Lake County near Chicago and $50 per exam.

I bet if people looked under some rocks, these things are everywhere.

Those credits don't transfer.

A lot fo community colleges I've seen have them or something similar, but they don't show up on transcripts in a way that is transferable, even to the Big 3.
