Is there any reason you're doing so many CLEPs? You can knock out many/most of the CLEP spots with Sophia instead.

Also, you have a lot of seemingly difficult courses at TESU for your one-term cram. Is there a reason you did those instead of simpler courses?

I can't speak to the entire AOS, but you need at least 18 UL credits in the Area of Study (II) section, and you only have 12 marked on your sheet. The ones in the "General" Electives section (III on your sheet) don't count.

I agree with Flem: those are some really difficult courses for a 16-credit term. And you have 18 credits listed for TESU, which they're not going allow you to take in one term. You'd need at least two, and at that point, you're not saving any money that way.

You seem to only have 3 credits under Social Psychology. You need six. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...egree_Plan

rachel, II.B. on their spreadsheet is the second Social Psychology course. TESU moved it in the new catalog for some reason. https://tesu.smartcatalogiq.com/Current/...Psychology

Ah!

I just double-checked in OSS and it's formatted the old way there. Confusing, doesn't help anyone.

I am doing CLEPs to save money with modernstates. Is Sophia significantly easier. 

I think I just got too ambitious.... I probably will change them. Keep it easier. Do you have any suggestions?

I was wondering what I needed in terms of UL credits.... 

Thank you!

I didn't know about the 16 credit limit. I think I will try to find easier courses. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you for your help!

Sophia courses don't rely all on 1 exam to pass the course. You also get all of the material you need right in the course on Sophia. For many people this is easier than reading a textbook then taking an exam that they hope they pass.

Why so many UL math courses at TESU along with Thermodynamics? That sounds like a VERY difficult semester. I thought you were majoring in psych so I'm not sure why there's the need for 3 UL math courses in 1 semester.

Sophia is way less stressful and saves time. With time = money, even with ModernStates CLEPs can cost a lot more than Sophia! You can be done with a Sophia course (including all exams) before you've even finished studying for a CLEP exam. And that doesn't even count the time it takes to schedule and take an exam. Also, if you don't pass a CLEP, you have to pay for a retake and that's already more than a month at Sophia would cost.

Thank you.

So would you suggest not doing any CLEPs?
