10/27 UPDATE: Hello, brand new and need direction by Navydave70 - navydave70 - 10-27-2008

Well I read through every thing, thanks to everyone for their recommendations (the BA in 4 Weeks Web Site and 123 College Degree were very good). I think Excelsior is a good choice because they assign a grade/point score to the CLEPs. I think GPA is important.

Here are my credits so far - any & all input is appreciated:

B&M Schools - 30
ENGL 1301 – Composition - 3
PSY 1012 – Gen. Psy -3
CGS 1060 – Computer Concepts – 3
CET 2186 - Computer peripherals – 3
EUH 1000 – West Civ to 1589 – 3
HUM 2021 – Humanities Forum – 3
CRI4311 – Abnormal Psy – 3
HEBR 1301 – Language – 3
HEBR 1302 – Language – 3
MGMT 3310 – Mgr Comm - 3

Military Experience & Training Evaluation - 12

P.S. I couldn't figure out how to change the title of my original post - sorry

Hi Dave, Welcome to IC forums and all the best in obtaining your degree. I checked with EC and they said that they don't assign GP for CLEP any longer. Also, if you take even 1 class, you can get a GPA at any of the big 3. I think that EC will give you a grade for DSST and I'm sure they do for ECEs.

EC will assign a letter grade to the older version of DSST (not the 10 or so new tests put out in 2008, at least not yet). No credit for CLEP's.

I agree, GPA was also important to me. That's why I went with EC. So far I've been lucky and I'm hoping for a 3.95 when I'm done. I'll settle for a 3.9 though!

I'm not sure if or when DSST is going to update more exams, so I would get cracking on those first, make sure you secure the graded credit where you can.

great, thanks for the quick replies and news.

I'll start checking into the DSST tests.
