College Plus

CollegePlus now has something called CollegePrep. It is geared toward 14-15 year olds. It is similar in that they are taught speed reading, memory devices, logical arguments, and more. They end up (after 9 months) taking 2 CLEPs. All this for $800 -$950. Also a lot of money. Sounds kinda interesting though. It might motivate my dd to give it a try.

So, now I'm thinking about that too! [/QUOTE]

That sounds interesting, but I really DO think that sounds like a waste of money (the CollegePlus for 14, 15 yr olds). If you follow a good high school text, then follow up IMMEDIATELY with CLEP studying (as described on this forum), they can take the CLEP easily. We avoid the govt. community or state colleges and go to Strayer because they are so accomodating and non-judging.

If you want to take advantage of the speed reading and memory skills, just order the College in a Bag set from College Plus for $250. Everything they will teach you is in there and most of it is on CD roms and easy to follow. You just have to take the time to learn the skills - the same whether you pay for the coaching or not.

Then just CLEP through as many match ups as you can as you finish High School courses. By then you should have a sizeable number of credits and can possibly do College Plus for one year to finish up! (or not - you may figure it's not necessary by then!)
