POLL: how many exam credits makes up your bachelor's degree?

How many exam credits makes up (or will make up) your bachelor's degree when you are finished?

Exams are literally "exams" you take that award credit when you pass.

Do AP exams count? I took most of my CLEP tests for teacher certification post-masters, but I used a bunch of AP credit in my BA.
BA, MA, EdS, MMT, etc.
83 hours of ACE-worthy credits

I would have simply responded "Too Many" given the opportunity. I have explained in the past, but I would have planned no more than 60 p/f credits if I were starting over.

TECEP is an exam, but SL/ALEKS/Saylor are considered courses.

Cool Poll Thread!

BA Social Science - 51
24 DSST
15 CLEP
9 CC/CBE (community college challenge exams)
3 TECEP

BSBA Gen Mgmt - 42 (18 Existing, 24 New)
21 DSST (12 New)
15 CLEP (9 New)
6 TECEP (3 New)

Total for 2 bachelor's degrees - 75 credits.

I voted 46-90 for the first degree which also covers both; can't vote twice. Also wanted to supply actual numbers, just in case the poll was for research rather than interest.
