Anywhere to test out of Statics or Physics?

[chenry]

I would like to complete Statics and or Physics by the start of next semester but I don't know of any place where I could test out of them or complete them quickly. I have completed physics without calculus; but I need it with calculus. I should already know the majority of the material for both the classes and so I need a fast track program where I can take or test out of them in a matter of weeks.

If anyone knows some good resources to take or test out of these credits and other engineering courses online, it would be much appreciated.
I'm trying to make my way through a list of prerequisites to transition from a B.S. in Business Administration to a M.S. in Mechanical Engineering.

Thanks

First, you have to make sure your graduate school of choice will accept credit-by-exam to fulfill prerequisites. If the school does accept exams, most schools are accepting of CLEPs and DSSTs.

Some schools accept ECE and Uexcel exams, but I don't think there are any ECEs of interest to you. Uexcel does have a physics exam; I don't know if it's what you're looking for.

Straighterline offers ACE evaluated, online, self-paced courses. A lot of people finish them pretty quickly. Again, you would have to contact the school to see if their courses are acceptable.

Then, there are the Ohio University exams which earn you regionally accredited credit, but keep in mind that Ohio University is on the quarter hour system.

Calc based physics, as far as I know, doesn't have a test. The CLEP exam is algebra based. You could check more carefully into the AP Physics, but how likely is your college to award credit at this point? If you mean "statics" there isn't a test. If you mean "statistics" the DSST is an option.

If I could ask a question, have you completed your undergrad degree besides these maths/sciences? If so, I think testing might not give you the full utility you're looking for. If you're still working on your undergrad, really THE best way to work these into any degree is through the general education requirements. Within that arena, you'll find the most flexibility. When you get into meeting prereqs, in major courses, or gen eds for specific majors (physics for math majors, biology for science majors, etc) and grad school requirements, you're going to find only the smallest and most narrow use for the exams. Tread carefully, good luck.

I think Kent State and Ohio State offer CBE options for undergraduate physics with calculus... there may be other schools that do, as well.

The AP Physics C exam (in two parts) is the calculus based version of that test (you'll have to check with the school you are looking at to see if they will accept it and what score you need to get on it)

I do not know about the Physics, but DSST has a Principals of Statistics exam and ALEKS has 3 different Statistics courses that are ACE approved. I would check with your college before doing any of these.

AP exams are given once per year in May. You will find it difficult to find a place that will administer it to you.

It looks like Kent state is the only place that offers a calculus based physics exam so I'll contact them and see what I can do. I would have gone the straighterline route, but they emailed me saying the class probably won't be up until may. As for 'Statics' not statistics, I found that TESC has it as a three month course, but I really need one that takes half the time.
