It's kind of off subject for the thread, so prior apologies to any viewers who think by my answering here I'm 'muddying' the thread.
The answer to how I'm factoring in all of the CLEPs/DSSTs is, I'm completing my entire BA in Psychology via testing through Thomas Edison State College (TESC). With the (mainly business) credits I transferred in covering my 'Free Electives', I'm completing all of my Gen Eds via CLEPs/DSSTs/ACE, and taking TESC's TECEP tests to fill remaining requirements for the Psych Major. It's a tremendously faster, cheaper way to go than via a traditional college, TESC is RA, so the degree is both fully accredited & transfers for a Master's, and (assuming I can finish my final 10 tests over the next 2 months) will be done in a total of 5 months - I started testing in Oct. 08. I honestly don't think there's a faster, cheaper way to get to a BA or BS in the US than via TESC or Excelsior. PM me if you'd like a breakdown of how the tests I've taken/planned apply to the degree plan.
