CLEP versus other Options

[cookderosa]

Hi Jennifer,

I loved your two line summary, thanks so much. While money is never limitless, it seems now to be more available than time.

I've struggled over this and I see both sides from the comments. The Moderns states is really cheap, yes-- but it looks like I would do as much work as with the Straighterline and then after that go take the CLEP tests and deal with the risk there and the scheduling challenges. (Regardless of who pays for it)

There is one Straighterline course that doesn't have a CLEP equivalent that I need. Thinking I'll try that one and I can blow through it in a couple of weeks then continue.

Good plan! You will have no trouble completing 2 courses inside a 1 month membership, and there is often a BOGO coupon floating around. You may want to see if you can find one before you jump in. The moment you sign up your clock starts and your course(s) are open (textbooks provided inside the course for free).
