I searched College Plus on this site as I was curious what folks had to say about it and wanted to put in my 5 cents worth.
As a homeschool mom, I owe much thanks to College Plus. Without them I would not have found this site or figured out how to get our highschool age children through the college process so inexpensively. I also plan to get my own Bachelor's degree by the time our youngest graduates which I would never have imagined doing before!
Our eldest, who is 14, has already got 12 college credits under her belt thanks to the CLEP program. (Intro Psych. Intro Sociology, Intro Ed. Psych and Human Growth...) By the end of the summer she should have 30 credits (which incidentally validates a highschool diploma). Our 13 year old son plans to take his first two CLEPs this summer also (U.S History I and II), as do I!
Our strategy is to take as many CLEPS as possible, as they complete highschool subjects, and then enroll with TESC for the last year - with or without College Plus. I do believe that it could be worth the $$ to have someone else (a Christian), mentor them and move them through the final stretch more efficiently. I guess if we cannot afford it at that time I will figure it out, but it is a real option for us. Both kids should have at least one, if not two Bachelor's (one BA and one BS) before they are 19 or 20. Possibly even sooner than that.
College Plus had a College in a Bag set with some amazing study tools, which have helped tremendously.
Thanks for listening,

currently with 2 FEMA credits - Wahoo!!
