I'm back..help? BA-Sociology Guidance, TESU

[Hpkitty]

Hi guys!  Here's what I have so far.  I tried doing Saylor free classes but found them to be a little bit too challenging to follow along by just reading, so I'm hoping I can get suggestions for what to fill out the rest of these with.  I'm looking for the quickest (not necessarily most inexpensive) options -- if anyone has taken these classes that I'm missing through alternative providers and been happy with it I would love to hear more.

That is helpful!  Thanks

I found Saylor combined with InstantCert to be sufficient for the Intro to Sociology CLEP. You don't want to take the Saylor exam because it only nets you one credit. Use Modern States to get the CLEP for free.

Anyone have recommendations for the general ed? Enc-102 for example I attempted at Saylor but honestly couldn't get through the text, especially since the quizzes aren't actually graded..

I personally used Crash Course Sociology to study for the Sociology CLEP. Really good info, engaging and I could listen to it in the background if needed.

I also used Crash Course. Also got the Free-CLEP-Prep quick study guide, but didn't find it very helpful

As for ENC-102, you've got a lot of options. I know you can do it with CLEP, DSST, TECEP, StraighterLine and Study.com. I think there are other options as well. Personally I did CLEP.
