How I Saved $30K and Graduated 1.5 Years Early by "Testing Out" | Jay Cross

Disappointing that the comments on their facebook page about it are generally negative though.

I took an online DSST test in late October and sent it to TESC for eval, they did not not mark that they even received it until Nov 21 and still have yet to add it to my degree plan. I also sent in a transcript from another school that I have attended around the same time period and it took them about a month to add to received and still have not added these classes to my degree plan. I know that this is a known problem with TESC but it's still frustrating and I just needed to vent.

My college accepts the clep english exam "College Composition Modular with Optional Essay"......I just want to know if I have to do a essay or not since it says optional?.....and also Do you believe If I just use instantcert.com to study for this exam would I pass or not?..if not, what free websites should I go to study and pass this exam?.....p.s I already know about educationportal.com

Hello, This is my degree plan, please tell me what else i need to fulfill and complete my bsba tesc degree, or if this is okay... THanks

[COLOR="#000080"]Hello Class,

I have a work associate who is just now completing his Associates Degree with Excelsior and is looking to move onto a Bachelor Degree program at another RA school....however....he is not the "test type" and prefers taking "classes" per se.

Question: Can anyone recommend an RA school that: 1. Has a BS program with online "classes" and 2. is as AFFORDABLE (Least Expensive the Better) as they come?

Thanks!![/COLOR]

I'm looking for a set of middle school homeschool CD's or online curriculum that allows the student to do most of the work. Kind of like ALEKS, how the student will mostly work independently under adult supervision and ask questions from time to time as needed.

Background: I no longer homeschool any of my own kids, but since both DH and I work from home, we've been given the task of homeschooling his DD. She's 13 and in 8th grade, but due to autism spectrum (formerly referred to as Asperger's) her social skills have made B&M school extremely difficult. So far, we have made excellent progress. She was stuck in 3rd grade math for several years, but since September has flown through ALEKS and is about to finish 5th grade level. I had also used several other CD+book combos but so far her best subjects are Spanish and Math.

I'm looking for a relatively independent program for science and history that is interesting and doesn't require a ton of direct parent teaching. She seems to do A LOT better when it's primarily a computer-based program. And since DH and I both are working full time, her learning style greatly compliments our preferences for teaching! Her very wealthy grandmother (my DH's ex mother-in-law) is willing to foot the bill, so I'm not concerned about price, just something that's high quality and primarily independent and computer-based.

Suggestions?

Thanks!!!!

I was glancing over my advising worksheet this morning and I noticed that COSC gave me a score of 54 on US History 1, instead of a 64. It's still a passing grade, but should I let them know about the mistake, or am I just being anal about something trivial? It bothers me when I see it written like that, but part of me thinks I have bigger things to worry about, like graduating this year.

What do you guys think? Would you leave it as is and take the pass if it were your transcript? Or would your inner OCD take the wheel and make you call the Registrar's every hour until they changed it?

Joseph Crouse, age 17, of Maryland made headlines by earning his associates and bachelors degrees before graduating high school. He's currently in the capstone course for his MBA.

There used to be quite a few of these, but now it seems the only one I can find is the Capella Flexpath.

Anybody know of any more? I looked on the other forum, but all I could find was people asking the question, and then being called lazy by the seasoned members :toetap:
