That is a well thought out plan. I know what you mean by enjoying the learning. I just completed my AA in June and am now enrolled for my BA. I will be at least 55 when I finish.
I was interested to see so much PLA work on your signature. I have 30 years rxperience in a laboratory and many, many hours of volunteer work. I have been putting off PLA because it looks so intimidating to me. Have you found it more or less work then an OL course? Was it difficult to prove any knowledge?
As for testing I only see one TECEP you took and it had an essay if I remember correctly. Why don't you try a CLEP or DSST. I understand testing is not for everyone, but I found the TECEP's the most stressful, something about the format or what I don't know. Now Ias I take more CLEP/DSST I get more and more relaxed and ~$100 for a test is not a bad loss if it doesn't work. I enjoy learning what I need for test then going deeper on my own time if I find something I want to know more about. It would take time off your plan. Remember you only need to pass at TESC a 44 on my Hist of Vietnam would have earned me the same CR as my 66 did.
Just my 2c
