could you explain? I am considering them too but I need a reliable RA self paced credit source for now

what do you think about NAU? Is it easy to get good grades? Is it easy to be accepted into the program?

Do you have any sort of foreign high school diploma? That plus the great SAT score should work for most colleges and universities. Also, be aware that once you earn significant college credit, you become a transfer student and your SAT score will no longer be considered in the admissions process.

no I dont have a foreign high school diploma, I need the RA credits for an Associates + High School Diploma. I would love to hear about the experiences people here had with the competency based programs. I heard UMPI gets you easy grades, I was wondering what other option is easy and fast

I'm confused by what the Associates + High School Diploma is. What are you trying to get that for? I've not heard of many colleges here that actually want that - as a matter of fact, very few schools do a block transfer of random associates degrees into their schools - so you most likely won't get much bang for your buck that way.
Going back to your original post, why do you want to get into an online high school program? What's the point of this?

IReallyNeedADegree is German. IReallyNeedADegree does not have a German HS diploma. IReallyNeedADegree has a U.S. GED. IReallyNeedADegree wants a European undergrad from schools that will not accept students who have prior bachelors. A GED is pretty much worthless in Europe. Having a HS diploma and/or an Associate degree would allow IReallyNeedADegree to attend a European in-person university. Having a U.S. Bachelor's degree does not confer the same benefits.
The European university is important because IReallyNeedADegree's desired profession in Germany generally only hires people with degrees from a few select universities.
@IReallyNeedADegree if you had started at ASU when you first asked, you would already be done with the first group of non self-paced courses and able to tackle the self-paced ones. The next start date is in about a week (March 7). Grab 6 of those courses for $150 to start (plus another $400 per course to transcript - a total of $2550 for 18 credits). Work on one class each day of the week, with an extra day left over in case you start to fall behind or need a little extra time on something. This is, almost certainly, the fastest way you can earn 18 credits. Do it again in May. Maybe once more in June. Round off, if needed, with some 100% self-paced courses. This will get you somewhere between 36 and 60 credits. Transfer these credits to Wauboneee or SNHU to get your Associate by spring of 2024.
This is almost certainly the fastest and cheapest way to get an Associate degree with 100% RA credit and no alt credit.
TEL Learning's Associate would theoretically be cheaper, but I'm not sure it'd be any faster. It'd theoretically be 100% self-paced, though. Each TEL learning course has 2 live-proctored exams plus at least 3 hefty assignments. You cannot transfer credit into the TEL degree. Everything must be taken from TEL. It's also unclear if they do allow students to graduate early or if they enforce a minimum time limit.

What do you think about paying for a term at a competency based university and just knock out as many courses as I can? Thats why I mentioned NAU.

High school + associate= german high school.
Yes you can have a bachelor and go to make another bachelor without problem.
RE: Snow College accelerated AS - review/help - ss20ts - 02-28-2023
Have you checked NAU's admissions requirements? You most likely will need a high school diploma for them. Same with UMPI.

depends on the university I already asked and its not possible
RE: Snow College accelerated AS - review/help - Kab - 03-01-2023
I checked the universities in Switzerland that you mentioned last time, and I found out that they have a specific disposition and system for admitting students with previous qualifications. You can have a Bachelor's degree and still be eligible to study with them. Similarly, in Germany, there is a system for admitting students with previous qualifications in both public and private universities.
However, you may not be eligible for some scholarships or stipends if you already have a degree at the same level, especially at the Bachelor's level. The only exception to this is if you want to repeat the same course or field of study. In most schools, there is no chance of studying business administration abroad and then returning to study the same course here unless it is a unique or different program. However, you can study any other course, such as liberal arts, psychology or history, and then later study business administration. You may even receive credit for the subjects you have already studied if they are the same.
The problem you may face is the priority given to students in the admission process. The order of admission is based on specific criteria and where you come from (N.Clausus). There are reserved places for students from outside or with other qualifications, but these are very limited. If you want to study at a highly competitive school with an Associate's degree and high school diploma, you may potentially face some challenges. You will need a good mark in both high school and later studies, whether an Associate's or Bachelor's degree.
If you want to pursue an Associate's degree and high school diploma, make sure that both qualifications have Regional Accreditation, or that the high school is a public high school. Regional Accreditation is essential to ensure that your qualifications are accepted.
