As you can imagine, someone who's been working in the field for 20 years, might be perfectly capable (and happy) to fly through their AOS courses.
The OP originally stated:
"In the case where someone getting a degree in Psychology would take non-graded tests, but would want to thoroughly study and learn the test material out of personal interest, would completing the degree in 1 year be possible?"
This is a completely different scenario than you are talking about.

This is a completely different scenario than you are talking about. So? I was well aware of that.

I don't know if realistically possible to do a degree in a year if you're working. This is probably closer to a two year plan than a one year plan.
You're talking about studying about 21hrs/week, and I think you're looking at at least 2-3 weeks if not more per course at that pace to have a chance of learning the material.

Not to mention only $20 dollar a month, there are 4 courses that don't overlap with each other and you can finish them pretty fast. Then take the Clep math for another 6 credits.
CLEP math doesn't duplicate? That would be a very simple 18 credits!

100% disagree, it is easily possible. You will need to focus on learning good test taking and study habits, use study guides and other materials found online, and watch videos on subjects on YouTube at 1.5x speed. Keep your head up, a lot of us completed our bachelors in a year while working, you can do it too!

College Math Clep
MAT-102 General Math I,
MAT-103, General Math II
With ALEKS you can knock off
MAT-115 Intermediate Algebra
MAT-121 College Algebra
MAT-129 PreCalculus
STA-201 Introduction to Statistics
THEN
TECEP MAT-105 - Applied Liberal Arts Mathematics
Haven't looked at the above posts or if you need electives but another easy 9 credits would be
DSST Intro to computing - COS-101 - Introduction to Computers
TECEP -CIS-107- Computer Concepts and Applications
DSST MIS -CIS-301- Management Information Systems
I am all about the overlap of classes

My degree was super accelerated, but no way no how at 21 hours / week.
I'd guesstimate I spent close to 2000 hours studying for my degree.
Maybe things are different now then when I got my degree, but CLEP, DANTES, ECE, TECEP in general all took a ton of study in order to do well / retain the information. If you don't have the prior knowledge to knock off subjects with minimal study, I don't see how the OP can do it in a year in the time he's willing to give this.
Maybe this straighterline stuff that people talk about these days really is that easy...

I too recommend overlap when possible, especially if it's a subject you like.
More math:
Shmoop Finite Math (should come in as MAT-110 but we don't know for sure yet)
Possibly Geometry (MAT-361??? not sure either)
TCC has College Geometry which is supposed to come in at MAT-361 as well.
Saylor's Business Statistics OPM-351
Not sure on the UExcel Contemporary Math or Quantitative Analysis, but those are options as well.
Obviously you should always check on the ones that aren't common on here, but a great option if you're math-y.

College Math Clep - Where Would these Credits "Map" too? What would they fill. I'm taking the History Courses from Shmoop but if I could use these 6 credits for Gen Ed I could skip a English CLEP and that would be awesome. Much better at math.

Yeah, watching videos with a speed plugin is awesome. Couldn't go back to watching videos at 1x. I usually watch videos anywhere from 1.2x to 3.5x (you can only get a general understanding of what is talked about at 3.5x though).
