Is it possible to graduate without taking any clep tests?
#1
Hello everyone,

I would like to know if it is possible to successfully complete a BSBA Gen Management (TESU) without taking any CLEP tests. I am not anywhere near a CLEP testing center and my best options right now are taking final proctored exams.

Apart from Straighterline, Sophia, Saylor...which other websites can i use to take courses and final proctored exams?

Thanks y'all.

TESU's TECEPs and CSU Global CBEs are exams that can be taken at home. There is also Study.com, Propero, Penn Foster (only ACE-approved courses are accepted), and Tor College Credits. If you live near a Pearson testing center, Uexcels are an option.

Do you live near a place that offers DSSTs?

If you inform a testing center of your situation then they might allow you to take more than 1 CLEP in a single day. I've heard of others doing this, however my testing center only allowed me to take 1 CLEP per day.
It might be well worth it to travel somewhere and knock out a bunch of easier 6 credit tests.

Yes it's very possible. I would just keep mind the 90CR limit from a single source when planning your degree. You will want to make sure to vary your sources to not have more than 90 ACE credits.

Self paced independent coursework from the various universities that offer it may be a good option to vary it up.

Is that the limit for ACE credits in total or the limit from a single source such as Straighterline or Penn Foster?

I'm not 100% sure, but I took it to mean a limit on credits from ACE, but it could easily mean from a single ACE source (ie: 90 from SL). I believe it may be a single ACE source after re-reading the policy:

"Courses and examinations approved through the National College Credit Recommendation Service (National CCRS) and the American Council on Education (ACE) College Credit Recommendation Service. The limit of National CCRS and ACE credits from a single source is 90 credits for a bachelor's degree and 45 credits for an associates degree."
