Newbie figuring it out need help

[rab889]

So I been reading a lot trying to understand this path and thanks to the great information here I understand much more now but I still have questions.

My goal is to take some CLEP and DENTES and then just use straightener to get more credits and transfer to Charter Oak College. For Bachelor of Science in Business.

Whats the right order?  Should I just take the test first and have the testing center send the scores directly to Charter Oak College even that I'm not enrolled?  Will they keep track regarding the credits if I'm not enrolled?

Or send the CLEP scores for Straightliner to keep them and then transfer all to charter oaks college? 

This is where I'm a bit confused, I only want to take the few courses that I really need in charter oaks as they so expensive. ..

Greatly appreciating any help.
