I actually want to learn the subject matter and feel confident in my ability, something that could teach me the subject matter. Cost is not a huge issue here as long it isn't $500 or something crazy like that.

Options:

study.com
ed4credit
sophia.org
saylor.org
CLEP (using modern states)
DSST (use modern states to prep?)
TECEP
straighterline
Davar
B&M CC
Online CC
Other???

Wow there are a lot of options!

Also, Khan academy has lots of great materials to help you prep. If it were me, I'd take advantage of all the free material out there to learn it at my own pace, then test out of the class using the cheapest and/or most convenient method available to me. CLEP/MS is potentially free.

There's also aleks which only costs $20 per month and is ACE approved.

Thanks. I'm looking for something would actually earn me college credit. Also, I used ALEKS at Community college as a tool for my blended (half online, half in person) Statistics class and wasn't a fan.

Right now I'm leaning towards the CLEP, unless the DSST was known to be an easier pass. Also, I have a study.com membership so I could use the course and not take the final as a tool too. Thats what I'm thinking of doing, but I wanted to hear other thoughts first.
