Is CLEP testing an option?

Are NCCRS providers an option? Actually, I see you're attending TESU right? In that case, you could also work on some onlinedegree.com courses.

Unsure what other classes you've taken so I'm hesitant to suggest anything in particular... However, often taking a test or course on a subject that you're already fairly knowledgeable on is the quickest option.

An example would be if you've already taken biology and some other science subjects then taking the natural sciences clep would require minimal extra studying to pass. Also, if you're already pretty good with reading literature, the analyzing and interpreting literature clep should be a quick 6 credits. Finally, if you're already good with math at the algebra/precalc(or beyond) level, then doing the mathematics clep should simple and quick.

I need free electives. Yes, CLEP and NCCRS are both options. 

I am actually not attending TESU. I was thinking of going that way, but now I'm heading for a BALS at Campbellsville University. They should accept all ACE and NCCRS credit. 

I hadn't thought a lot about doing a CLEP, but that is interesting to consider. I have read a ton of books and so maybe the A & I Lit CLEP might be an option. Do you think I could wing it or would some studying be the best? 
Thanks for the help!

Obviously each person is different, but I took the A&I Lit CLEP with zero studying and got a 71. And I hadn't read a fiction book in more than five years. I am a good test-taker though, so of course your mileage may vary. I highly recommend it as a way to knock out a handful of credits fast & free.
