Here's to Your Health is listed as a science credit but I
saw it under another category as an elective. Curious
will Excelsior take it as a science credit. Another course
and exam Ecology Race to Save the Planet can be in
several categories. Wondering if Excelsior will take it as
A science. I need 6 science credits. Any suggest as to
Which exams or courses are the easiest to tackle.

I believe the HTYH exam is considered an elective with EC. I believe the substance abuse exam may be a science credit. I would recommend you look at the EC credit by examination booklet. It will show how each exam is applied at EC along with the passing scores. I found it invaluble while testing. I know some ECE exams will count as science credit. Good luck!

The DSST Astronomy and Race to Save the Planet exams are relatively easy.

Definitely download the Student Guide to Credit by Exam:
School Catologs - excelsior.edu
According to this, Here's to Your Health is Applied Professional (free elective) and Environment & Humanity (Race to Save the Planet) is science.
Your question brings up an interesting thought. This is not to start a rumor, but just thinking out loud -
If they are going to follow the ACE recommendations and give UL credit for more DSST exams, will they change the categories to what ACE recommends, also? I guess we'll have to wait for the new Student Guide.
