How did you learn about testing out of your degree?
#19
cookderosa Wrote:Ha ha, the irony of what I'm about to write.... Brad Voeller's book (before he decided to start College Plus) was the domino for me. I'd never heard of testing out at that point. Then, I found a page on the internet called BAin4weeks that really REALLY got me moving. Here's the thing, I hate the notion of paying College Plus to filter people through ACE classes and into TESC. Seriously, the reasons I feel so strongly are too much for this thread. I liked Brad better when his motives were altruistic, and having tested out of 1/2 my degree I completely disagree with the premise of homeschooled high school kids fully testing out of their degree (again, too many reasons to dump on this thread) BUT, he should know better. He does know better, but it's all about the money.

EDIT: Of course he markets at homeschool conventions. Of course he does. Homeschool parents are a nervous wreck about how to teach high school (he solves that) and how to get their kids into college (he solves that - sort of) how to PAY for college when the family is likely 1 income and solves alllllll their problems. And, if that's not enough, he throws in a dash of Christianity just for good measure. (sold!) I have to stop- I feel my BP rising.


I wish there was a double like button! Smile Smile
Don't forget that gaining college credit by taking exams is one of the reason's we're here. That's mainly possible through the flashcards made available by the owner of this forum : InstantCert Plus of course your hard work in learning and reviewing
