What's your favorite alternative credit provider?
I've only used a few (Sophia, Straighterline, DSSTs, CLEPs).
My favorite so far is Straighterline.
It's always a toss-up with CLEPs and DSSTs - I've studied hardcore on IC and other places and bombed the CLEP.
With Straighterline, there's less risk - and you do most of the tests unproctored so even if you bomb the proctored final, you still pass. But compared to Shmoop and Study.com, it's also more expensive at $60/course. But I like how closely affiliated they are with TESU as well - there's little guesswork into how it'll be evaluated.
Based on the most recent posts in the last year, it seems like Study.com is mentioned the most.
I have not tried them, but may need to in the near future.
What is their structure like? Exams proctored? Difficulty? What's the top 5 easiest Study.com courses? etc.
