Purdue Global Assessment of Skills and Knowledge
#1
I was just about to send the Purdue Global transcript from the free class that I took this summer and I came across Purdue's version of Strayer's challenge assessments.  They are called Assessments of Skills and Knowledge.  They cost $100 each.

Note: Sorry for the weird format.

So it would be interesting to explore this some more. My first question is whether this resets a student's enrollment at Purdue. Could a person just keep taking these exams rather than taking actual courses? Could these make up an entire degree, creating a de facto competency-based pathway?

Note: I also see seven 500 level assessments. If these turned into 3 graduate credit hours each at Purdue Global for $700, that would be a pretty good deal.

A couple of things to note:
1) you need an 80% on each section of the exams, and an 80% overall to pass. That's pretty rough.
2) many of the exams give you writing assignments, and you have 28 days to turn each one in.
