Designing a plan for TESU BALS

[Mab81]

Hi there, I have the spreadsheet BJ made for the TESU BALS but I don't want to take a lot of the classes he listed as examples. How do I know what classes or tests I can use to fulfill the requirements?  I know that if I have a specific course in mind from a third party provider, I can contact TESU directly to see if it fulfills the requirements. But what I want to do, is at least narrow it down a bit. For instance, can General Electives be anything at all? How do I know what courses from different providers count as Knowledge of Human Cultures or another category?

I have been on hiatus for about a year but I want to try to finish my degree as fast as I can. Right now I have 35 credits from Straighterline/Aleks and free sources. 

If anyone has advice on which providers are quickest to finish classes (or if tests are actually faster) I would appreciate any input on that also. I found Straighterline was good for open book tests, but the closed book tests were really annoying, as most of the time the questions on the test weren't really about subject knowledge, more about knowing a verbatim sentence from an obscure part of the textbook. So I don't really want to do any more Straighterline courses. I saw someone say that Schmoop is no longer accepted by TESU. I know Study.com is expensive and takes a long time to complete. I am leaning towards maybe just signing up to instantcert and doing CLEP tests, but I still am not sure which subject tests to use for the BALS.

Lastly, thank you everyone for not getting impatient with me as I fumble around. I am dealing with major depressive disorder while also trying to improve my life so I am feeling really overwhelmed but I still want to keep trucking on.
