Hello, Newbie here!

[KayV]

For a bachelor of arts in liberal studies, you could try the following plan. I tried to use as many 6-hour CLEP tests as possible, and put College Math in since you will have taken all those ALEKS classes.

Oops, forgot about Saylor's Intro to Western Political Thought. You could use that and take any General Ed 3-hour CLEP/DSST instead of College Math, or take the College Math CLEP and just do 24 FEMA. Here's a list of what you need for the BA.

KayV thank you so much for the plans. I've been playing around with this stuff on excel all weekend with help from the degree wiki. I still have my last evaluation from TESC also but I know that a lot has probably changed since 2008 when I printed it out. Right now I just need to work through those Aleks courses. I have to start with beginning algebra because I haven't touched math since 1992!

I wanted to cry after my first assessment but that just means I have my work cut out for me. I passed Algebra and precal in HS so I know I can do this, it's just gonna take some time to refresh my knowledge. Part of the reason I dropped out of TESC the last time was because I didn't have the confidence or the study skills. This time I will take baby steps.

I've never taken a Clep or a Dantes, are they all computerized and is there any writing involved? I think I have a writing and a math phobia.

Ladyplf,

CLEP and DSST exams are all computerized (except for rare testing centers that still use paper DSST, usually on military bases outside US). There is no writing involved, except for CLEP College Composition, which involves writing two essays.
