Great suggestions RANSOMSOUL. Instead of just studying you actually could be accomplishing the goal. For myself going through the accounting class was easier than studying and trying to pass an exam. I think 90 days is a reasonable amount of time to get it all done. Good luck.

“It always seems impossible until it's done.” ― Nelson Mandela
Searching the archives you'll find many examples of people accomplishing as many credits in as much time. I completed 60 in 6 months (which wasn't really 30 in 3) but you have to be efficient with your time. My suggestion is to chunk like-exams together. From your list, I'd put all the accounting in sequence- do them back to back to back to keep yourself in the zone. Secondly, gather your resources immediately, nothing creates a speed bump like having to wait 5 days for a book. Finally, put it on paper- many people here create a quick spreadsheet. This time to that using a certain book/site and testing on a certain day. Not that you have to follow it perfectly, but if it works on paper, the rest is up to you.
Good luck!

Principles of Finance, Accounting, and Organizational Behavior can all be done through study.com.
Stats too, but ALEKS is the better option there

I wonder if I can do intro to computer science through study.com? I'll need to do some research and see if my school will accept those... Thanks for the suggestions any other input would be great!

Organizational Behavior Tecep - There is no Org Behavior TECEP, you can either do a DSST, SL or Study.com.
I also agree with cookderosa to stack your exams.

The course there is called Intro to Computers, it's based on the DSST exam. There's also one based on the Information Systems and Computer Applications CLEP.
