BS in Psychology - Cheap and Fast (and dirty)

[sanantone]

Okay I am getting it... I think. Thanks.
Now can someone link me all the types of test other then CLEP. I don’t technically want to follow a guideline of quizzes and almost online like studying to accheve a credit ( like study.com). I just want to test out.
Also, What is the difference between going through a CLEP like thing and just going to a college and saying “ I want to test out of this class”. Thanks!

CLEP is the most widely accepted exam-based credit you can get. DSST follows a ways behind that. After those, you're looking at individual schools exams, like the TECEP exams from TESU, UExcel exams from Excelsior, and CSU-Global's CBE's. However, if you're restricting yourself just to exam based options, you will find it challenging to earn a degree since not all courses can be earned through an exam.

Not to mention, exams are great if you already know a topic well (or you are able to study the topic on your own), but if you want to learn a subject new to you, taking an online course (via Study.com or Straighterline, etc.) will allow you to learn the material while earning credit. If you're looking at one of the big 3 or a school that accepts ACE credit, then this is a perfectly reasonable option. And places like study.com offer a much wider variety of courses to complete a degree program.

As for going into to a college and saying you want to test out of the course, that is usually referred to as "challenging" a course. I did that in a couple of my courses back in CC. The difference here is that you have to make arrangements with the instructor and/or get permission from the school and just come in at the end to take the final exam. Your grade is based completely on the results of that exam. In that case, it is treated as if you took the course, there is usually no difference between a course you challenged and one you took by attending class every day.

I didn't need one Straighterline or Study.com course to complete the BSBA. The SL courses I took had exam options. I'm sure that's true for a few majors.
