@xbrad2 - there are countless posts in Degreeforum providing the study resources and success stories that followed. Add to the list and rock these 90 days.
Tests needed:
Principles of Finance DSST (+Straighterline)
Intro to Computing DSST (Spent a couple days with Instacert, + this Resource Post & you'll be fine)
Stats Aleks (44%) (Buckle down and finish this asap)
College Alegbra Aleks (same as above)
Strategic Management Tecep (study because a retake could push you out of your goal window)
Principles of auditing CSU Global
Federal Income Tax Tecep
Intermediate Accounting 2 CSU Global (+Straighterline)
Advanced Accounting CSU Global (+Straigherline)
Organizational Behavior Tecep (+Straighterline)

Great suggestions RANSOMSOUL. Instead of just studying you actually could be accomplishing the goal. For myself going through the accounting class was easier than studying and trying to pass an exam. I think 90 days is a reasonable amount of time to get it all done. Good luck.

(+Straighterline) means take the SL course instead, right?? (Not sure if it means to use it simultaneously as a study aid? Prolly not lol but have to check)

Searching the archives you'll find many examples of people accomplishing as many credits in as much time. I completed 60 in 6 months (which wasn't really 30 in 3) but you have to be efficient with your time. My suggestion is to chunk like-exams together. From your list, I'd put all the accounting in sequence- do them back to back to back to keep yourself in the zone. Secondly, gather your resources immediately, nothing creates a speed bump like having to wait 5 days for a book. Finally, put it on paper- many people here create a quick spreadsheet. This time to that using a certain book/site and testing on a certain day. Not that you have to follow it perfectly, but if it works on paper, the rest is up to you.
Good luck!

The course there is called Intro to Computers, it's based on the DSST exam. There's also one based on the Information Systems and Computer Applications CLEP.
