This thread highlights the very important, and often overlooked, way to get MAXIMUM exam credit benefit: articulation. Yes, some folks are trying to test out of a degree, some folks are using distance learning, and some folks want accelerated learning, but for someone following a more traditional route, using a CC articulation first (where you get max CLEP use as well as cheaper tuition) into state university is really shaves big $$ and time. But remember, it's not the credits that matter, it's that you complete the block (certificate or degree) that is part of the guarantee.
