[SIZE="2"][COLOR="Navy"]Just to comment on the relative speed of "testing out" via CLEP & DANTES exams versus attending traditional B&M classes, you will go further-faster in your degree pursuit by testing out.
That being said, there is a difference in the learning process. I found that in B&M classes, material is spoon fed to you slowly and incrementally over a period of 15 weeks. However when testing out one must force feed themselves via intensive and compressed study (The 4-R's) and can sit the exam in around 15 days in many cases.
So, you can earn 3 credits in 15 weeks or 3-6 (some exams are worth 6 credits!) credits in 15 days; it all depends on how well you can "digest" the material and then "regurgitate" it on exam day.[/COLOR][/SIZE]
