This is not the cheapest or greatest resource out there, but I figure I would post this anyway. It is basically "free" college courses from ETSU; however, here is the kicker...... "free" is not for credit, if you want credit you have to pay 1/3 or the normal tuition. Either way it could be a good study source. Here is the link:

Nice find. Even with the tuition, its a great deal. According to the link $335 for a college course with actual college credit and not ACE, not a bad deal. Even better is that the cost is split up making it more affordable for folks on a budget.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

Here is something that would be useful for people to know. If you complete the course, could you determine what grade you'd get before fully committing to getting credit? It would be really great to know you're going to get an A before ending up with any notation on a college transcript.
63 CLEP Sociology
75 CLEP U.S. History II
63 CLEP College Algebra
70 CLEP Analyzing and Interpreting Literature
68 DSST Technical Writing
72 CLEP U.S. History I
77 CLEP College Mathematics
470 DSST Statistics
53 CLEP College Composition
73 CLEP Biology
54 CLEP Chemistry
77 CLEP Information Systems and Computer Applications

The way I read it, you complete the course, then you pay $150 to take their "Pre-Credit Assessment". If you pass it, then you apply to ETSU (if not already a student) for $25, and pay another $150 to take the "For-Credit Assessment". Wierdly, the main page says the History and Music courses were Summer courses that ended August 1, and the Psych course is the only one available on an on-going basis, but the FAQ page says that all three are available year-round. I'm wondering whether you get a letter grade or not since it appears to be essentially credit-by-exam. Edit: Nevermind, I found where it says you get a letter grade.
