Most people don't know about it, and the B&M schools certainly don't want to tell them about it. Of those who do know, many don't believe it, or mistrust it, or are too afraid to try it.
My sister-in-law is on the $10,000+, 10 year degree plan at our local Community College. She is taking one or two classes per semester towards a BS in Psychology.
I told her that she could CLEP a Psych degree at Excelsior for under $5,000, but she wasn't interested. I told her she could complete her degree in a year or two instead of 10 years, but she wasn't interested. I told her that the VERY SAME college she was enrolled in allows up to 60 credits of CLEP to be applied towards her degree, but she wasn't interested. I told her she could take just ONE exam for $60 to see if it was her cup of tea, but she wasn't interested. I told her I would help her prepare for that ONE exam, but she wasn't interested.
We started studying at around the same time. She now has 6 credits, and I now have 79. I'll be done by the end of the year...she'll be done by the end of the year 2016.
Sigh!
My name is Rob
