Record for most CLEPS/Credits/DSSTs in one day?

[P00057870]

Although this thread was started for the hares, I thought I would show that for some of us tortises the slow and steady method may still win our individual race.

I returned to try to finish at least some type of degree, so went to a B&M school and just could not see wasting time or money on a class that I knew a lot about. So my first CLEP was for Eng. Com w/Essay in April of 2007. Then regular classes were taken. End of 2008 I was planning on trying to take Principles of Supervision, as I had already finished the Principles of Mgmt, and both were required and they seemed redundant, so why waste time in a classroom. That is when I discovered IC. I did this in Early January 2009, while between B&M classes.

Thanks to you guys, I then had the courage to do Intro to Sociology and Environment and Humanity, during the spring break, before tackling Intermediate Algebra at the B&M school (had not done algebra in 42 years - Yikes).

Now, over the summer, rather than taking their classes I started doing CLEPS and DSSTs using a 2 weeks average between to study and prepare. Old brains work slower, ladies and gents, so please start this much earlier than I did.

I have now accomplished over this time frame a total of 30 credits and have scheduled 2 more tests, for a total of 36 credits before I will have to return to some B&M, 8-week long courses that are mandated by my employer.

But...have no fear...I'm already planning what I will be studying simultaneously so I can schedule tests as fast as I feel like I can pass.

Remember, my original goal 2 years ago was an A.S. From this site I have learned about EC and am waiting to find out if I have already accomplished that and am well on my way to my BSLS ?? with total credits accrued to date, both through testing and B&M, of 73 as of 7/29/09 and anticipate having 79 by the August 24th. My mandated courses from my employer will be UL and that will add 10 credits -- 83. So, I will be planning what must be done to bring this puppy home with a goal of finishing within one year from signing on with EC.

Thanks to IC and all of you for making this possible, even for a tortise, in so much less time and at quite a savings.
