I hate you ALEKS!!!

Wow, that's a pile of cheap credit...21 credits?! But if it could have been in anything but math! However, the potential here is astonishing. Let's see, 25(FEMA)+21(ALEKS if/when complete)+AP(3)+Certs(3)+NFA(3)=55 credits, but how many can I use? Right now I just want any two year degree I can patch together and then I'll worry about the next step of getting what I really want.

Incidentally when exactly am I supposed to pay ACE that $40? Also I'm hoping the holiday has interfered because all my credit through ACE is STILL pending. I haven't paid them anything yet, so I'm hoping that doesn't have anything to do with it? The site didn't ask for any money...I heard there's a $40 fee, but when?

I'm starting to have enough credit that I need to actually figure out a degree plan so as not to duplicate effort or waste money. Where can I get cheap psychology/sociology credit? I think that's what I really need.

You are doing great!! You only pay ACE $40 when you need them to send a transcript (same for CLEP, etc) so for now- just keep on keepin on.

As for using your credits, you get to use all 27 FEMA in any of TESC's BA majors. Business is less (18?). If you go for an associate first, you'll have a lot less, 9ish. I would say skip the associates. I know other people say get it- and I did- but it really was a waste of $ (besides, now I have to explain how I went from an associate degree to bachelor's degree in 6 months....)

I calculate your current credits at 51.
