Take a look at this. I can give you my spreadsheet if you want also. It's just not as busy. But of course, feel free to use whatever is easier for you.
I added Analyzing & Interpreting Literature because it is the consensus easiest exam and it is good for 6 credits. I removed General Anthropology because DSST has put that course on indefinite hold, and I placed Sociology in that spot.
It took out some of your courses and replaced them with ALEKS and the Kaplan PLA exam. Kaplan is free and ALEKS will only cost you $20 a month plus the cost of the ACE transcript. Make sure you don't overlap with the math class you already completed.
You didn't have 24 TESC credits, so I took the liberty of substituting some of the courses for TECEPs. This will save you several thousand dollars and shouldn't add to your completion time.
I took the align courses out (because they are basically unknown by the forum and the site seems sketchy to me personally), but after reading your post, if you prefer them, go ahead and plug them back in. This is YOUR education, not mine.
I moved marketing comm in the area of study since it is a communications course I also added the TECEP Negotiation & Conflict Management. Very that the course will be accepted as a Comm course. I left Sophia Visual learning in there, but I will warn you that my wife had a hard time with the course due to issues with the website/course design, so tread lightly with that one.
You have some courses that overlap and can be replaced elsewhere, but like I said, this is your education so I left them in there.
Check through the site and with free-clep-prep.com because you picked some courses in there that are generally harder, and you may be able to make it easier on yourself.
One of the best parts of the big 3 is how customizable the types of credit you can plug in and make it your own. So have fun with it. Good luck!

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
