Quick Excelsior pointers needed

[dfrecore]

TOEFL is not an issue here.

I had two more questions - apologies for repetition:
1. Most of UExcel exams (not courses) appear to be $110, with a few priced higher (into $3xx, $4xx, and $5xx). When there is an option to take the test through either CLEP, DSST, or UExcel exam, assuming test cost is similar, I assume UExcel test via Prometric/VUE is the best option to take, as there are no needs/fees for transfer?
2. Does signing up for an UExcel's actual course at the rate of $510 + $20 per credit hour (e.g. Info Literary, Cornerstone, Capstone) also include the cost of an actual exam for the course or is the exam additional out of pocket?

Thanks everyone.

1a) There are no fees for sending CLEP or DSST exams either, if you are an enrolled student - you choose the school at the time of test, and it sends it if you pass.

1b) You did not include the cost of the test-center fees at PearsonVUE - which are $50 for a 2-hr exam, and $60 for a 3-hr exam.

2) There are no additional costs for exams that I've heard (there weren't any at TESU for the midterm proctored through ProctorU for example), but you will probably need to purchase textbooks for these courses, so don't forget to add that cost
