Hi Adrian,
Here is another good thread you might want to look at. It's really long, but has lots of good information.
http://www.degreeforum.net/excelsior-tho...ight=aleks
In a nutshell, ALEKS is a program that teaches you a certain subject and gives you problems to solve. Once you complete 70% of the modules, you may use your ALEKS for credit. It's kind of like CLEP in that you get credit without taking a college course. However, ALEKS teaches you the material, whereas CLEP tests you on the material.
Some people prefer CLEP and others prefer ALEKS. Another thing, ALEKS is only $20 per month.
