15 credits in less than 30 days - TheCommuter - 03-29-2011
I'm creating this thread because I just realized that I have completed an entire semester's worth of credits during the month of March through Straighterline. And at $39 per class, I did it in a cheap and cost-effective manner that fits around my work schedule. In fact, I got a class for free when they were offering a buy-one get-one course free promotion two months ago, and I saved $15 off another course this month. Here's a list of courses that I have finished off this month:
1. Business communications
2. Macroeconomics
3. College algebra
4. Business statistics
5. Medical terminology
I completed SL's biology in February, so it was outside the 30-day window. I feel empowered right now and really fortunate to have found these forums. I plan to take my first test (microbiology ECE) at the end of May. Thereafter, I'm going to start taking the DSSTs for which TESC will grant upper level credit.

Wow!! That's really impressive. Having taken a few SL courses, I know how time consuming they can be. (19 exams with macroecon :eek: )
Great job!!! Keep up the amazing work!!

I've gotten 24 credits in the month of March and it would have been 9 more if today the testing center didn't close early, I only got to take 3 exams instead of 5 as planned :/

You are on a roll! I've racked up 33 credits in less than 2 months via Straighterline and CLEP. Working on ECE Micro now. I've put my CLEPS on the backburner till I finish Micro. I hope to take it by April 15. Keep the momentum going!

Any tips on Business Statistics? I just signed up for it because of the discount and I needed a stats class anyway.....I have Statistics Demystified so I hope that helps me some.

Wow congratulations!
By the way, are SL courses $39 per class? I thought they were a lot more...

Then I will move on to the next course and finish it off in the same manner. Since I work the night shift, I usually study in the mornings before I go to sleep.
