new to forum and question on TESC BSBA or other two

Welcome to the boards! The test out options available to you will dictate your speed (and they are cheap) so it's really up to you. If one subject is very familiar to you, you might be able to walk in after an afternoon of study and pass. In another subject, it may require a month of hard work, it's really difficult to say. Examples of those are CLEP, DSST, Uexcel, etc. Another option, self-paced courses, can be fast too- especially if you don't have to pass a closed book exam. In those cases, you do the work (at your own pace) and test (if applies) in your own home. Straighterline, ALEKS, Sophia are examples.

When you get down to the nitty gritty, you're talking about completing a college class at a rate of about 2 per month give or take. Worst case, you're looking at just under 2 years; best case? There are people here that do it in 6 months. In either case, even the worst case is EXCEPTIONALLY fast compared to the national average of 5 years.

You're in the right place!

P.S. the cool (or not?) thing about DIY self-paced education is that you can't really buy your way ahead. You have more resources if you have more cash, you can invest in InstantCert here, subscribe to practice test services like Peterson's, buy prep books like REA, but at the end of the day, it's all about getting it into your head- and I haven't yet figured out how to pay extra for that! :roflol:
