Please help check over my degree plan for TESU - Ancapman - 03-22-2017
Are there any 2 credit or more cheap courses or easy tests anyone can recommend?
I have so far completed 3 credits college algebra. And will soon complete saylor's intro to western political thought.
My end goal is to get into PA school, hence why the * prerequisite courses have to be done with letter grades, and I need a student loan to pay for all of this.

Hello, that's great you are getting started. Please read the Beginners Guide as it will get you further faster.
Furthermore, follow the wiki with JSD's BA Psychology plan as he recently completed his in Dec2016.

Study.com has announced that they are in the process of getting both of these reviewed for ACE credit. I would definitely hold off on these until we hear more from them. The Coopersmith exam was garbage and a representative from Coopersmith came here telling us that even Coopersmith doesn't like this exam. Ethics in ScoSci was a ridiculously easy course at TESU, but it's expensive. I'd wait on it too and save a ton of money.
Did Study.com also say they're working on Physiological Psych ACE approval? I forget.

I'm jealous, should have waited another year to do my degree ;p
I would have happily completed a majority of my degree with Study.com!

Me too!! Actually if SL & study.com had been available when I first joined df in 2008 (or as accepted @ TESU as they are now), I would have graduated years ago for much less time/effort/money :p

Thanks, I will try to do more SL and Study.com...
speed is key for me... are these 2 faster than say IC and CLEP, DSST, TECEP?
Please help check over my degree plan for TESU - Ancapman - 03-22-2017
Speed as in... I need to get all of this finished by End of December. I have all my time to dedicate to it, including 2 6 week summer semesters for the * pre requisite classes and then the fall classes.

Yes, if you have the time, read the Beginners Guide and also JSD's degree plan, substitute the AOS with the Study.com courses and you're done.
That's the cheapest/easiest/fastest Psychology degree there is, the only course you need at TESU is the Capstone. The cornerstone isn't needed
as long as you transfer all the courses in and at about 104 credits or more. The easiest courses are from Straighterline and Study.com.
Quickly get your math courses from ALEKS and if you need any other general education courses not offered by either/or, go with Saylor.
