64 Credits in 30 Days and I'm All Done!

[robo]

I took my last test today and finished up my degree at Excelsior. I will be graduating on Jan. 16th with a BSL and a focus in psychology. Up until a few months ago I had no idea that you could test out of a degree. I overheard someone at my church talking about it and started looking into it myself right away. I transferred in 57 hours of previously earned college credit and was able to complete my degree in about the same time of one summer semester of college. I have not been working so that made it a lot easier. Thanks to everyone on this forum for helping me figure out my degree plan and to IC for helping me follow through with it. I used IC exclusively for all of my tests except for substance abuse, civil war and ece ethics. The only thing I used for business mathematics was the petersons dsst guide. For most of these I studied between 4-7 hours, I studied for about 10 hours for civil war. Here's a list of the tests I took.
