John Bear's books never mentioned Empire State so I went with Excelsior College when I started all of this back in 1998 (yes, I'm slow!). Now that I know Empire State exists I may be dropping EC like a hot rock...like today. I took the GRE Psychology Subject test exactly once and scored a 500 after reading 16 books and long before I discovered InstantCert. I think it's reasonable to believe that I could have scored much higher if I had kept at it! Wish me luck!
Definitely look at all of your options. I know you are already close to finishing a degree at EC. It is my understanding that Empire State may have a high residency requirement (30-ish credits). This means that 30 credits must be taken at that college compared to the 3 credit (capstone) residency at EC. Be sure to double-check that and compare it to the benefit of using the GRE.
