Sophia Info Tech vs CLEP Info Systems - same?

[SCYankee]

Thanks.

I hear what you're saying about gaining many credits through various similar exams. It can be a good strategy in certain cases. All of the ethics courses and exams (especially DSST) fit into that category. It's a lot of the same info; I guess it just varies in how, or in what situation, it's applied.

On the other hand, I'm pursuing this degree for personal fulfillment. The plan I've made and followed thus far includes a bunch of extra courses/exams that I don't need for the degree anyway. But I'll enjoy learning that material, and reviewing some of it in similar/advanced courses. So in my case it's unnecessary to take multiple basic computer courses for the extra credits.

That said, I still might take it anyway. Not sure why... Maybe I just like studying and passing exams for 3 credits in one shot. I'm not in a rush, and it feels good ; )

To answer your additional question and also provide you some discount - If you're looking to get a discount on Sophia.org and they if don't have coupons/discount codes at the moment, what I've been telling people to do is the following:  Logon to http://www.sophia.org and select U of Phoenix, to choose the school to view the list of transferable courses.  

Select 1, 2, 3, or however many courses you need to take and apply the coupon code of PHOENIXHALF to get a 50% discount on the courses.  Once done, send it to ACE and it'll go to whichever school you need it to at a later time.  Another option is to wait for the HALFOFF coupon for "other" schools, but I would rather just get onto the "online chat" and switch to that instantly.

The only other discounts available randomly, is the $297/3 courses, that comes every now and then.  The half off will be available for 1, 2, or more courses, so pick your poison and what your wallet can handle.  (Sophia - if you're reading, send us more $297/3 coupons!)

We reposted at the same time, so I didn't see this. All of my Sophia courses have been purchased under the $297/3 discount. That's definitely the way to go. The last three courses that would interest me are: Macro, Micro, and College Comp II (because I took the old College Comp CLEP w/o essay). Except, Sophia College Comp II is not yet(?) accepted at TESU, and perhaps other places as well. 

Your "Plan B" to use the U of Phoenix code is a good one too.
