I'm spending the time and effort (and money) already on these CLEP/DSST exams and it's working really well for me, so I'm wondering if I should keep doing that because it's a better option than WGU. WGU is also self-paced so I'm trying to compare apples with apples here.
I have not explored Straighterline yet because the school I'm at now doesn't accept them, and CLEP/DSST was working just fine for me. Maybe I should revisit since I'm transferring to WGU? I went through a free five-day trial with Study.com and really liked the videos I watched, does WGU issue credit for these or are they just a good study resource?
You can check my signature line for courses WGU accepted from Study.com for my son. He also was going to take Project Management with them, which I confirmed WGU accepts, but he ended up taking it via Sophia because it didn't require a paper. The only thing I can tell you for sure not to do is to take Principles of Management at Study.com - SL's transfers in as 4 credits per WGU requirements, and it's the only one they accept. Also, Advanced Operations Management at Study.com transfers in as Business Statistics - so if you take Business Stats elsewhere or at SL, don't take that one at Study because it's the same course as far as WGU is concerned (although the courses are actually quite different).
