Well I read through every thing, thanks to everyone for their recommendations (the BA in 4 Weeks Web Site and 123 College Degree were very good). I think Excelsior is a good choice because they assign a grade/point score to the CLEPs. I think GPA is important.
Here are my credits so far - any & all input is appreciated:
B&M Schools - 30
ENGL 1301 â Composition - 3
PSY 1012 â Gen. Psy -3
CGS 1060 â Computer Concepts â 3
CET 2186 - Computer peripherals â 3
EUH 1000 â West Civ to 1589 â 3
HUM 2021 â Humanities Forum â 3
CRI4311 â Abnormal Psy â 3
HEBR 1301 â Language â 3
HEBR 1302 â Language â 3
MGMT 3310 â Mgr Comm - 3
Military Experience & Training Evaluation - 12
P.S. I couldn't figure out how to change the title of my original post - sorry

Hi Dave, Welcome to IC forums and all the best in obtaining your degree. I checked with EC and they said that they don't assign GP for CLEP any longer. Also, if you take even 1 class, you can get a GPA at any of the big 3. I think that EC will give you a grade for DSST and I'm sure they do for ECEs.

EC will assign a letter grade to the older version of DSST (not the 10 or so new tests put out in 2008, at least not yet). No credit for CLEP's.
I agree, GPA was also important to me. That's why I went with EC. So far I've been lucky and I'm hoping for a 3.95 when I'm done. I'll settle for a 3.9 though!
I'm not sure if or when DSST is going to update more exams, so I would get cracking on those first, make sure you secure the graded credit where you can.
