Danielle -- I love the story. Guess what....it was an obnoxious person who got me back on track to getting my degree about 2 years ago.
I had heard of CLEPs when I was first in college. It was in the catalog back then, but I was not confident I had enough knowledge to take them. There was no study information 30+ years ago.
Fast forward 28 years, when I returned to college, at this age I did not want to spend any more time or money than necessary and realized at this point in time what I know and know well, and that I don't have to sit in a classroom to learn.... Took Eng Com first, then planned on filling in 3 more courses.
When searching the net to find out what to use as study guides for the other 3 courses I found IC, and IC not only helped me get those credits but the folks here have informed and enabled me to do so much more. Thanks to Marianne and others encouragement, I will be hearing soon from EC on completion of the AS (withouth having to pay over $750 and work for free doing over 450 hours of a clinical that would NOT be for the purpose of me getting a job as I have one already and just want/need the degree-- it would just free labor for someone else), but I am well on my way towards accruing other credits towards a BS -- going beyond my original plans, since it is both doable and affordable.
CLEP and DSST are one thing -- IC and the members of the forum are what makes it all work better and faster!
