Agree 100% My sisters and I did LTI. Both sisters crushed my score; however, the one going to UMPI used the same three credits for her degree, which lessened the blow. She earned 12 credits total, but there was no value for those additional credits in her Project Management degree plan.

I see you went to UMPI, would you happen to know whether all the courses listed http://catalog.umpi.edu/content.php?catoid=3&navoid=118#general-education-curriculum for GEC are available through Yourpace? I'm looking for a substitute I could take for Hum 103 at UMPI itself, maybe ART108 or 120 or something along those lines.
Lab fees are just how labs are. Do not look at the UMPI catalog for YourPace. Very little of it applies to YourPace. There are not options for the GEC for most courses. We have templates on here that show you what to take and where. There isn't a studio art course in YourPace. HUM103 is the substitute course for it. You can take a studio art course at another college and transfer it in. I had a studio art course from years ago and transferred that in. Same with my lab science - it was from a community college.

I read somewhere on the forum HUM103 is a pita with papers that's why I'm looking for alternatives but not sure the SDC alt would be any better workload wise...
Speaking of workload, the Sophia Spanish course looks like a nightmare, is Instacert doable fast for someone who never learned Spanish before? Or alternately, since my native language isn't English would UMPI still accept the Duolingo English exam in my case?
HUM103 is 1 paper and most people have completed it in 3 days. I have no idea why anyone would say that class is a PITA. It's a simple course. Study does have a course that will transfer in for HUM103 but then you're paying Study for a LL course which isn't usually the best idea. Better to pay them for UL or a lab science.
Sophia's Spanish course isn't as bad it sounds. The Touchstones are pretty short. Many have completed InstantCert but many have complained about it as well. Duolingo exams aren't accepted at UMPI. English exams are not accepted for the foreign language requirement at all. Have you considered taking an ACTFL exam? Those do transfer to UMPI for the foreign language requirement.
