Penn Foster/Ohio Credit-by-Exam
#1
I'm scheduled to take an exam from Penn Foster (History of American Labor) and from Ohio (Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia) in the next couple of months. Up until this point I've only taken the regular allotment of CLEP/DSST/TECEP and haven't needed to go to a third-party. How does this process work? Do I need to pay an enrollment fee to both of these schools? Send in an application? Or just apply for the specific exam?
BA - History, TESC
CLEP: Introductory Sociology (59), American Government (63), Biology (57), Principles of Macroeconomics (68), Principles of Microeconomics (71), History of the United States I: Early Colonization to 1877 (67), History of the United States II: 1865 to the Present (61), College Algebra (54), Introductory Business Law (66), College Mathematics (59), Humanities (57), Social Sciences & History (69), Natural Sciences (60), Spanish (55), A/I Lit (59), Western Civ II (53)
DSST: A History of the Vietnam War (449), Civil War/Reconstruction (438), Ethics in America (462), Intro Business (435)
AP: English Language and Composition, American Government, US History
Uni of Northwestern: Western Civilization
TECEP: Political Science, Computer Concepts, Comparative Politics, Environmental Science
UExcel: World Conflicts
Currently working on: ...UL history?...

109 credits down, 11 to go!

For Ohio U, you can sign up as a non-matriculated student. Their exams are rather pricey, though. You can find distance learning classes that will cost less than their exams do.

yeah, but their history exams are upper credit
and if you take an upper level class you're going to have to write papers -- you may even have to do a group paper -- YUCK !
