I'm in the process of changing my degree plan to Excelsior, and I would like to know how are they when it comes to completing assignments and exams? Will they let you work ahead? Also I have never completed CD-Rom courses if you have any information about those also that would be great.
My concern is that I don't want some random "field exercise" that last two weeks to make me fail a class.
I would love to take test out but I don't have the brain to do it for every subject
Thank You!

Most distance learning courses are self paced. As long as you finish within the alloted time you are ok.
EC's courses are no different. I personally took quite a few EC courses and always worked myself ahead to be ready for business travel.

In my experience, the teachers are willing to work with you. I've submitted some assignments crazy late and as long as you have a good excuse, they don't care.
19 DSST attempted - 54 credits awarded (1 unsuccessful)
11 CLEP attempted - 24 credits awarded (5 unsuccessful)
1 ECE attempted - 3 credits

I had to take a ton of classes to get my BS Elect Eng Tech from Excelsior. I used my local cc, TESC, and EC courses. The local cc instructors were willing to work with me but I was a special case (I could actually teach the class and had done so in the military). For TESC and EC every instructor was flexible. The schedule was a guideline to keep students on track. I always got several weeks ahead so that my business travel wouldn't mess up my class. No instructor gave me any trouble.
