Vietnamee needs AA or AS for immigration to US with US husband, also needs education.

[linh]

I am a Vietnamese woman, 26. I have been working on heavy load online high school for a year, with not much learning, but a lot of time with all the hopelessly disorganized busy work. I now think maybe I should go straight for an associate degree. I have 12 ALEKS credits - Intro Stats, Precalculus, Trig, Int Algebra.

I am not like most of you, I have some trouble with English, and I am not forty and so well self-educated I know everything and can pass any test after studying for a couple of days. Or couple of hours. This means I need to get some education while I get my AA or AS. I think CLEP might be tough. Plus test proctorers are rare around here, except one that charges $150 to proctor one test. But perhaps I might be able to do CLEP Art History or Chemistry, but it is maybe not much education.

What I probably need is to be in a community college, in person, but I have to prepare for immigration outside the US. I did half of high school online self paced, pretty good grades, so I know the ropes about online stuff.

What about Straighterline? I have never done a real college course, only ALEKS. Does Straighterline really teach, or just kind of test? With my English, something like a C in Psych or Western Civ is fine.

Oh yes, I forgot. Will I get killed in English Comp I and II at Straighterline. Or are they like a lot of colleges, and they realize most non-Americans will always make quite a few grammar mistakes and always have a kind of small vocabulary?

After enough hours At SL, I would do Charter Oak, I guess.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Linh
