Fastest, Cheapest and Easiest credit????

[DIYcollegeMom]

I am trying to figure out the fastest, cheapest, and easiest way to complete my degree with Excelsior.

I have found CLEP, DSST, Saylor, Penn Foster, Straighterline, Aleks, Uexcel, and TECEP.....am I missing any, LOL?

How would you rank them as far as fastest, cheapest and easiest?

TIA!

Easiest exams Easiest to Hardest CLEP > DSST > UExcel > TECEPS

ALEKS easy
Penn Foster typically easy completable in a few hours

In my opinion, If you are active duty military knock out as many Cleps and DSST as you can before moving on to other sources
other than that ( can't beat free) Do as much math as you can through ALEKS. 20$ could = 15 credits or more ( intro, intermediate, college algebra, Statistics, and Pre-cal) if you are quick.
Next once again in my opinion I would recommend Straighter line, at 129$ for your first 2 classes ( don't forget promo codes) and 50$ a class after that it is a steal if your college accepts it.
then Cleps and DSSTs for 100$ each (6 Credit Exams obviously best bang for the buck)

I haven't tried Penn Foster or Saylor so I have no advice on these. Another thing to keep in mind if what school you are planning on going to. If you are planning to go to TESC there are some easier TECEP exams that you can take to finish the residency requirement faster (IE. taking the TECEP for English I and II instead of College Comp CLEP) and Don't leave out TEEX cyber security course if it is applicable to your degree plan. free 6 credits
