Fastest platform for three courses - warriorlawyer - 11-30-2022
Hi guys,
I work full time and it is really hard to study in a library for CLEP exams. I have tried but it killed my desire to get these credits done .
I need credits for calculus, statistics and microeconomics. Which platform would be the fastest and widely accepted?
I want to use to those credits in order to get admitted into Finance/Economics masters. I am currently missing those courses from my undergrad as I finished law school.
Any help and recommendation is appreciated!

I think https://www.sophia.org/ is best fit your needs.

Sophia will definitely be the fastest and most widely accepted, if they accept them. Not all schools accept ACE credits.
If you need CLEP, have you tried ModernStates? It would make the exams free and you study at the same time. Win-win.

I just need them to be satisfied with the grades I get for those courses so they will be okay to admit me for the master’s.

I will check out modernstates. Thank you!

Many grad programs want prerequisites to be in the form of graded credits from an RA institution.

If you need a grade for these courses for grad school, CLEP may not work. I would check with the grad school and get confirmation in writing.

Agree with everyone else - ACE credit courses, including CLEP, do not give grades. My guess is, you're going to need to find these courses at an actual college.
My vote: ASU Universal Learner for Calculus & Microeconomics - you can get your grade before deciding whether to put the credits on a transcript; Calc has 2 options, and both are self-paced through ALEKS. For stats, there's no CLEP anway; it's available via Outlier/UofPittsburg for $600; via Westcott Courses/UMassGlobal for $500, self-paced; eCore for $159/cr (GA online system, self-paced - also has Calc); Portage Learning/Geneva College for $223/cr, self-paced.

If you're going to use alternative credit, you may need to get it put on a college transcript before applying, but that by no means the masters program will accept them. You should really contact admissions for the master's program and discuss this with them frankly. That's the only way to be sure.

Any review on Outlier? I found it couple months ago but there is not enough review online so I was not really sure about it. It seems a good option as it provides the transcript from Pittsburg.

ASU is cheaper than Outlier and you get a real ASU transcript. A few students here have done Outlier, but it's hard to justify the increased price compared to ASU now.
