Help Please! TESC AA Degree & Tuition Planning

As cookderosa said, the key is to work quickly. I would decide which courses you wanted to try to take and gather the textbooks. You can see what the required textbooks are in the syllabus for each class. You can find used, older editions very cheap. I've had good luck on Amazon. A lot of people also like using e-books and utilizing the search feature.

Here is a page of current coupon codes:

If you pay the $99 and BOGO, you are paying $148 for two classes. That's $74 per course. If you find inexpensive textbooks, then that's cheaper than CLEP. If you complete even more classes in that month, you are stretching your $99 even more and making the per credit price even lower.

I think Straight-line is a great addition to CLEP and DSST. I like testing as well, but sometimes it can be cheaper and easier to work your way quickly through a course like SL.

Definitely check the current exam requirements to make sure the course you are using is open-book (unless you're ok with it not being open-book). That can be found here:

Search the forums as well, there has been a lot of feedback posted on SL courses.
